Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of discovery learning models on social skills and learning outcomes of fourth grade elementary school students. The research is a quasi-experimental research with pre-post test control group design. The dependent variable in this study is the discovery learning model and the independent variables are social skills and student learning outcomes. Subjects in this study were students in grades IVA and IVB SDN Loceret II Nganjuk with a total of 20 students. Data collection techniques in this study used tests (pre-post test), observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques in this study used descriptive statistical analysis techniques. The calculation on the data analysis was done with the help of the SPSS 17 computer software program. The results showed that the discovery learning model influences the social skills and student learning outcomes in social studies learning. Discovery learning models influence social skills that indicated by t count-4,459 < t table 1,686. Discovery learning models affect student learning outcomes that indicated by tcount of 2.916> t table 1.686 and sig 2 tailed value of 0.006 <α (0.05). This means that discovery learning models have a significant effect on social skills and social studies learning outcomes.

Development of Digital Student Worksheets with the Discovery Learning Model to Improve Collaboration Skills and Results for Elementary School Students: Literature Review

“…The learning discovery model is part of the scientific approach framework. The application of the discovery learning model is carried out in groups so that students' social skills can be improved through group activities because students are allowed to work together with the group to solve problems in an investigation activity they do (Wahida et al, 2018).…”

“…Thus, the discovery learning model is a learning that involves students in the process of mental activities through exchanging opinions, discussing, reading on their own, and trying by themselves. Learning by employing discovery learning models encourages students to think critically and creatively (Wahida et al, 2018).…”

The Effectiveness of Discovery Learning With Truth or Dare Technique in Improving Students' Logical Thinking Ability

“…One of the solutions offered through this research is the use of discovery learning models. A learning model in which students not only receive material from the teacher but students also carry out activities that are a stimulus for students to dare to argue with classmates to develop concepts about the material (Balım, 2009;Wahida et al, 2018). So that lessons are not only memorized, but students also experience a fun learning process so that the material can be received well.…”
