Upaya Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar IPA Materi Sifat-Sifat Cahaya Melalui Metode Discovery Learning Kelas IV Di UPT SDN 02 Tanjung Heran

Abstract

The aim of this research is to increase student learning activities with the discovery learning model in science learning on the Properties of Light. This research is motivated by the fact that the learning models used are less varied, in the teaching and learning process, teachers have not been able to create active and fun learning, so that students experience boredom during the learning process and students do not play an active role, students still like to play alone when learning. The form of this research is classroom action research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles. The research subjects were class IV students at SD Negeri 02 Tanjung Heran, totaling 27 students. Data sources come from teachers and students. This research aims: to apply the discovery learning method in order to improve science learning outcomes in material on the properties of light for class IV students at SDN 02 Tanjung Heran. This research shows that student learning outcomes in the material on the properties of light through the Discovery Learning method can increase. This increase can be seen from the results of classroom action research in cycles I and II. In cycle I, there were 10 students who completed the KKM or 37.03%. In cycle II, there were 23 students who completed the KKM or 85.18%, an increase of 44.45% from cycle I. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of the Discovery Learning method can improve science learning outcomes regarding the properties of light in class IV students at UPT SDN 01Tanjung.
