DISCOVERY LEARNING TRIAL ON LEARNING OUTCOME OF CITIZENSHIP IN STUDETS OF PRIMARY EDUCATION DEPARTMENTMANADO STATE UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The primary goal of this research was to identify the difference in performance between students who received the Discovery Learning model treatment for Citizenship Education lessons and students who did not receive the Discovery Learning model treatment for Citizenship Education lessons. This study is classified as an experimental study because it seeks to determine the influence of the Discovery Learning model on increasing student performance using an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test design but no randomized control group. Student activity observation sheets and the Civic Education learning outcomes exam were utilized to gather data. The descriptive and inferential analyses were employed in the statistical test. The variance approach was applied, followed by a t-test, in the SPSS 22.0 software, and the results yielded the mean for the experimental class = 16.10, N1 = 20, and the mean for the control class = 12.10, N2 = 20. Using df = (n1+ n2-2) and consulting the "t" value table, both at the 5% and 1% significance levels, it is discovered that for df = 48, the critical price t at the 5% significance level is 2.03, while the critical price t at the 1% significance level is 2.72.
