Differences in students' learning outcomes between discovery learning and conventional learning models

Abstract

The number of students' learning outcomes of Year 9 SMP Negeri 1 Pekanbaru, Indonesia, were still under minimum completion criteria (less than 82). The objective of this research is to see the difference in learning outcomes between students who follow the learning through the discovery learning model implementation and conventional learning on 3- dimensional shapes with curved surfaces. This study used a pre-experimental research design (Static Group Comparison) involved 2 sample classes, experiment, and control classes. The results showed that there were differences in learning outcomes between students who learned by discovery and conventional learning models.
