PENERAPAN MODEL DISCOVERY LEARNING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN IPAS MATERI SUMBER ENERGI DI SEKITAR KITA DI KELAS III UPTD SD INPRES OEBA 2 KUPANG

Abstract

This research was conducted by Florida Erlinda Mali (Student ID 2201140047) and is titled "The Application of the Discovery Learning Model to Improve Student Learning Outcomes in the IPAS Subject (Topic: Energy Sources Around Us) for Grade III at UPTD SD Inpres Oeba 2 Kupang." The study was supervised by Antonius Suban Hali, S.Si., M.Si., and Rista Aprilya Devi, M.Pd. The research was motivated by low student learning outcomes regarding the topic of animal life cycles—where data from daily tests showed that 57.9% of students had not yet met the Learning Objective Mastery Criteria (KKTP) as well as low student engagement during the learning process. This study aimed to improve student learning outcomes regarding the topic of energy sources around us through the implementation of the discovery learning model. The research method employed was Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted over two cycles. The research subjects consisted of 19 students. Data were collected through observation of teacher and student activities and through learning outcome tests. The results indicated a significant improvement in learning outcomes across the cycles. Following the initial implementation of the discovery learning model in Cycle I, the classical mastery rate was 52.63%, with a class average score of 70.52. The study achieved success in Cycle II, with the classical mastery rate rising sharply to 89.47% and the class average score reaching 82.10. This improvement was accompanied by more optimal teacher activity and increased student engagement in data collection and processing, as well as improved ability to collaborate within groups. Based on these results, it can be concluded that implementing the discovery learning model is effective in improving IPAS learning outcomes regarding the topic of energy sources for Grade III B students at UPTD SD Inpres Oeba 2.
