The Effectiveness of the Discovery Learning Model on Student Learning Outcomes

Discovery learning directs students to discover something through their learning process. Learning becomes active when students use their thoughts and actions during the learning process. This study aims to determine the effect of discovery learning model on student learning outcomes. This type of research is an experimental study using posttest only control design. Data collection techniques in the form of tests using question instruments, then data analysis using prerequisite tests, namely homogeneity test, normality test and hypothesis testing. The results showed that learning by using discovery learning can significantly improve student learning outcomes and can significantly improve student activeness.
