The Influence of the Guided Discovery Learning Model on Learning Outcomes of Students of SMP Negeri 02 Bengkulu City

One approach that mathematics teachers can take in teaching to improve mathematics learning outcomes is the discovery learning model which uses problems related to student learning outcomes. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of implementing the discovery learning model in improving mathematics learning outcomes for students at SMP Negeri 02 Bengkulu City. This type of research is guided discovery learning. This research data was obtained from learning results tests and learning implementation observation sheets. The analysis used is the two independent samples t test. The results of this research show that: 1) The mathematics learning outcomes of students who were taught using the discovery learning model in the experimental class pretest had an average score of 24.63 and in the experimental class posttest had an average score of 74.15. 2) The mathematics learning outcomes of students who were taught using conventional learning in the control class pretest had an average score of 23.52 in the control class posttest had an average score of 61.11. 3) applying discovery learning to mathematics learning is more effective than conventional models in improving student learning outcomes if seen based on the average posttest score for learning outcomes.
