Improving Students' Independent Learning Outcomes and Science Through Discovery Learning

Abstract

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes and independence through discovery learning in science subjects. Class action research methods. In the pre-action, there were 5 students (26.3%) who had fulfilled the KKM and there were 14 students (73.7%) who had not. In cycle I there were 10 students (52.7%) who fulfilled the KKM and 9 students (47.3%) who did not. Student independence was obtained by 12 students (63.16%) with sufficient criteria. and 7 students (36.84%) in less criteria. In cycle II there were 15 students (78.9%) who fulfilled the KKM and 4 students (21.1%) who had not, obtained student independence, namely there were 7 students (36.84%) with good criteria, there were 10 students (52.63 %) was sufficient, and there were 2 students (10.53%) lacking. The percentage of students who scored above the KKM in cycle I was 52.6% and cycle II was 78.9%, this shows that the discovery learning method was able to improve students' science learning outcomes.
