Abstract

This research was conducted to obtain a guided discovery learning implementation profile with virtual lab assistance and problem-solving skills for high school students on gas kinetic theory. The type of research was descriptive preliminary research, without hypothesis testing. The research subjects consisted of 106 students in senior high school. This study used qualitative descriptive analysis from questionnaires and online tests. This study revealed that the level of students’ problem-solving skills was low. This case was proven by 102 students (27 male; 75 female) in the low category with a score range of 0 to 45, and four students in the moderate category with a score range of 46 to 75, while there were no students in the high category with a score range of 76 to 100. This research implies that there is a need for a guided discovery learning model with the help of a virtual lab to analyze the problem-solving skills of high school students, especially on gas kinetic theory.

Highlights

Education is an intentional effort to create a learning atmosphere and process when students can actively develop their latent capacities
Many studies have been conducted regarding the use of the Guided Discovery learning model by measuring problem-solving skills and other abilities, especially in physics
FINDING ➢ This study aims to examine the effect of the discovery learning model with the aid of animation media at SMAN 6 Bengkulu City ➢ This type of research is Quasi Experiment ➢ Data collection techniques using students' problem-solving ability tests. ➢ Data analysis using descriptive and inferential analysis. ➢ The results of the study can be concluded that there is an effect of applying the discovery learning model with the help of animation media on the problem-solving abilities of ➢ students at SMAN 6 Bengkulu City

Summary

Introduction

Education is an intentional effort to create a learning atmosphere and process when students can actively develop their latent capacities. For this situation, the targets for improving learning include attitudes, knowledge, and skills (Astra & Wahidah 2017). National education is a conscious and planned effort to create a learning atmosphere and learning process. Students actively develop their potential to have religious-spiritual strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, noble character, and skills needed by society, nation, and nation-state (Puwanto & Wahyuni 2018). It is essential to choose a teaching framework that can create a pleasant atmosphere so that students' potential can develop well
