Discovering learning model analysis to improve learning results of social science for elementary school

Abstract

Discovery learning sets the students free to study and learn based on the preferred learning styles, to gain competencies and fulfill the curiosities. Teachers are expected to create circumstance in which students may solve problems by providing the consultation when it is needed. This study aimed to re-analyze the implementation of discovery learning models on improving social studies learning outcomes of students of basic education. This research uses a descriptive approach with meta-analysis method. The study begins by formulating a research problem, followed by searching relevant research results for analysis. Research data collection is done by searching in an electronic journal through Google Scholar and searching thesis documents in the study program library. Based on the results of the analysis, it shows that the discovery learning model can improve social studies learning outcomes from the lowest 4.95% to the highest 47.86% with an average index of 19.56%.

Implementasi Gerakan Sekolah Menyenangkan dalam Meningkatkan Inovasi Pembelajaran Guru SD

“…The different school condition, different students' proficiencies, different students' health conditions, different implementation of the curriculum will give different impacts on students' learning achievement. Besides, the teachers implementation of the same learning model will have possibly different results [5]. Peneliti mengartikan sebagai berikut "Kondisi sekolah yang berbeda, kemampuan peserta didik yang berbeda, kondisi kesehatan peserta didik yang berbeda, penerapan kurikulum yang berbeda akan memberikan dampak yang berbeda pula terhadap prestasi belajar peserta didik.…”

The YouTube-assisted discovery learning model: Improving students’ cognitive learning outcomes and critical thinking

“…These models can also be combined with the right media to improve cognitive learning outcomes. The discovery learning model helps students understand a concept actively and independently as well as develop their reasoning in analyzing situations [17], [18]. Described by Khabibah et al [19] that the use of discovery learning-based modules in the learning process is very effective for improving generic science skills.…”

“…Furthermore, the discovery learning model applied can arouse curiosity by motivating students to continue working until the correct answers are obtained [22]. Setiawati and Sari [18] stated that the discovery learning model could improve learning outcomes. Moreover, Rahman [23] reported that lecturers must design the learning process to develop creative thinking skills in higher education using the YouTube-assisted discovery learning model.…”
