The Effectiveness of the Self-Directed Learning and Discovery Learning Model to Improve Student Independence Learning

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Self-Directed Learning model and Discovery Learning model in increasing the learning independence of students in historical subjects. The research design used a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group with data analysis techniques using a paired sample T-test. The sample in this study was class X students at SMAN Kalisat Jember. The research instrument uses a measuring tool for student independence, namely in the form of a questionnaire with a rating scale model. The results of the t-test analysis show the average value of students' independent learning with the Self-Directed Learning of 61.36. Meanwhile, the average value of independent learning of students with the Discovery Learning model is 56.03, it shows that the Self-Directed Learning model is more effective in improving students' independent learning with a high effectiveness of 0.88.
