PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN DISCOVERY LEARNING TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA PENDIDIKAN PANCASILA KELAS VI SD NEGERI 060905 MEDAN MAIMUN

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Discovery Learning model on the
learning outcomes of sixth-grade students in Pendidikan Pancasila at SD Negeri
060905 Medan Maimun. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasi
experimental method and a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population
consisted of 60 sixth-grade students, and all population members were used as
the sample through total sampling. The sample was divided into an experimental
class and a control class, each consisting of 30 students. Data were collected
using a multiple-choice test administered as a pretest and posttest. The instrument
was tested for validity, reliability, discrimination power, and difficulty level before
being used. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing,
homogeneity testing, and an independent samples t-test using SPSS 26. The
descriptive results showed that the experimental class obtained a posttest mean of
84.60, while the control class obtained a mean of 71.73. The homogeneity test
produced a significance value of 0.051, indicating homogeneous variances. The
hypothesis test produced t = 29.539, df = 58, and Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000. These
results indicate a significant difference in learning outcomes between the
experimental and control classes. The findings show that the Discovery Learning
model was associated with higher learning outcomes in Pendidikan Pancasila for
the sixth-grade students studied.
