Application of the Discovery Learning Model to Science Process Skills in Science Learning in Grade VIII of the 2023/2024 Academic Year
Abstract
Background: Science Process Skills (SPS) are vital in science learning but often underdeveloped. This study examines how the Discovery Learning (DL) model improves SPS and identifies which SPS aspects are developed in class VIII of SMP Islam Sudirman Suruh during 2023/2024. Methods: This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with triangulation (observation, interviews, documentation), involving one class of 13 grade VIII students at SMP Islam Sudirman Suruh (2023/2024) selected purposively based on teacher recommendations. The researcher serves as the primary instrument, supported by observation sheets and interview guidelines, with data analyzed through reduction, presentation, and verification. Results: The average percentage of total KPS in the Work and Energy material reached 83.2% (Good category), and increased in the Simple Machine material to 87.4% (excellent category). KPS aspects, including the use of instruments/materials and conducting experiments, demonstrated high achievement (excellent category). In contrast, the aspect of implementing concepts showed the lowest achievement, despite an increase (from Fair to Good). Interview data confirmed the positive role of DL in stimulating students' activeness and KPS. Conclusions: The implementation of the Discovery Learning model has a positive and significant impact on improving the Science Process Skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Islam Sudirman Suruh in science classes, with an overall average reaching the "Good" category. This model is effective in training various aspects of KPS, although the implementation of the concept requires further attention.
