THE EFFECT OF GUIDED DISCOVERY LEARNING MODEL ON THE STUDENT’S ACHIEVEMENT IN PHYSICS OF VII GRADE IN SMP N 1 TEBING TINGGI ACADEMIC YEAR 2013/2014
ABSTRACT: The objective
of this research
is to know
the effect of
using Guided Discovery
learning model on the students’ achievement in physics especially in temperature topic
at VII Grade SMP N
1 Tebing Tinggi. The research method is
quasi experiment. The
populations are all of VII grade students in semester II that consist of
9 classes SMP N 1 Tebing Tinggi. The samples
of this research are two classes
and consist of 70
students, 34 students from
experiment class and
36 students from control
class and define by
random sampling. Data shows that pre test
mean value of experiment class is 42.06 and control
class is 40.3. Post test mean value of experiment class is 70 and control
class is 65.28. The data
distribution of both sample are
normal and homogenous. The criteria for hypothesis test is: H0 is accepted
if -ttable < tcount < ttable
and H0 is rejected
if tcount has another score, where ttable obtained from
list of t distribution. Research result shows that t-test for concept mastery
using α = 0.05, obtained tcount = 0.507, where ttable = 1.99. It can be
concluded that the experiment class and
control class have same ability. The
criteria for post test analysis is :
Ha is accepted
if tcount > ttable and Ha is rejected if tcount has another score.
Based on research data for α = 0.05, obtained tcount = 1.73, where ttable =
1.67. So, there is effect of Guided Discovery Learning Model on the Student’s Achievement in Temperature Topic at VII Grade in SMP N 1
Tebing Tinggi Academic Year 2013/2014. Based
on observation using observation
sheet of student activity, it can be concluded that
the students in experiment class are
more active than control class.
