Implication

Quasi-experimental study demonstrates improved critical thinking in students using Discovery Learning in biology education, suggesting effective teaching methods.

Key Points

This study examines the effect of the Discovery Learning model on critical thinking skills in biology education at SMAN 1 Dampelas.
Quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group.
48 Grade XI science students (24 in experimental and 24 in control class).
Data analyzed using pretest/posttest, N-Gain, normality and homogeneity tests, and independent-samples t-test.
Experimental class had a higher mean N-Gain score (0.71) compared to control class (0.58).
Statistically significant difference found (t = 3.678, p = 0.001), supporting the effectiveness of Discovery Learning.
