The monotonous and boring learning conditions for students occur because there is no proper learning approach. Then, it was found that students had difficulties in learning descriptive text, because they had little vocabulary, and limited ideas to write about. In addition, one thing that is very important in the learning process is the growth of character values. A nation will fall down if its young generation has low morale, easily gives up, almost lost honesty, lacks discipline, lacks responsibility, and thins out the sense of Nationalism. Of the existing problems, of course, must find a solution, that's why research is done. This study aims to determine the design of the discovery model that is oriented towards character education in learning description texts in SMP/MTs. In this study we used the Research and Development (R&D) method with a Design Based Research (DBR) approach. This study involved 2 experts as validators, and 4 teachers as model users, namely Indonesian language teachers. The teachers came from State Junior High Schools, Private Junior High Schools, State MTs, and Private MTs. The results showed that the design of the discovery model oriented to character education in descriptive text learning is a new learning model that combines discovery learning models with character education, as well as descriptive text teaching materials containing character values. Based on the model syntax validation data, in general the assessment of the two validators concluded that the syntax of the character education-oriented discovery learning model obtained is a very feasible category. Furthermore, the feasibility test on the learning objectives of the descriptive text, the teachers gave an assessment that it is above the minimum completeness criteria, which means that it is very feasible to use. The results of the study indicate that the teacher of the discovery model oriented to character education in learning description texts in SMP/MTs is very much needed.
