The Effectiveness of The Song-Assisted Discovery Learning Model on Science Learning Outcomes at Sragen 06 State Elementary School

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of the song-assisted Discovery Learning learning model for science students’ learning outcomes. This happened because students still needed clarification about sorting digestive organs. This study uses an experimental method with a quantitative approach. The population of this study is grade V students of Sragen 6 State Elementary School, Sragen Regency, with a total of 62 students. Sampling was conducted with saturated samples, with 25 V-A students as the control class, 25 V-B students as the experimental class, and 12 as the instrument trial. The data collection techniques used are written tests, observations, and documentation. Data analysis techniques using prerequisite tests include instrument validity and reliability, initial data analysis with normality and homogeneity tests, and final data analysis using t-test and n-gain test. The study results showed a positive effectiveness of using the discovery learning model with an increase in the learning outcomes of grade V students; the calculation value was more significant than the table (3,767 > 2,012). H0 is rejected, and Ha is accepted, meaning there is a difference in learning outcomes between the pretest and posttest in learning using the Discovery Learning learning model. Based on the above analysis, the posttest results show that the learning outcomes between the experimental class are higher than those of the control class. The difference is due to the treatment difference between the experimental and control classes. This study concludes that the discovery learning learning model effectively improves the learning outcomes of grade V students of Sragen 6 State Elementary School. The suggestion for this study is that teachers need to apply the discovery learning model as one of the innovative learning models to improve student learning outcomes.
