Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of discovery learning model to students’ learning outcomes in SMA Negeri 1 Sokaraja on buffer solution material. This research was true-experiment consisting of preliminary stage, preparation stage, implementation stage, and final stage. The applied design was experiment control group posttest-only design. Population in this research was class XI MIPA SMA Negeri 1 Sokaraja. Sampling was done using cluster random sampling technique. Class XI MIPA 5 as experiment class and class XI MIPA 6 as control class. Data collection includes documentation, tests, observations, and questionnaires. The result of the research shows that learning with discovery learning model in the experimental class reaches 91.18% (31 of 34 students), 100% practicum skills, 100% student attitude profile. While in the control class using ordinary learning (lecture and practice) obtained learning mastery of 67.65% (23 of 34 students), skills proficiency profile of 97%, and attitudinal profile of 94%.
