PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN DISCOVERY LEARNING TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN PENALARAN MATEMATIS SISWA SMP/MTs

Abstract

Mathematical reasoning ability is essential for students to analyze problems, solve them accurately, and think logically. However, this ability among eighth-grade students at SMP Plus Ulumul Qur’an Aceh Selatan remains low, requiring an effective learning model such as Discovery learning. This study aims to determine the effect of the Discovery learning model on students’ mathematical reasoning ability. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a control group pre-test and post-test design. The population included all eighth-grade students, selected using total sampling. Data were collected through a mathematical reasoning test and analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed that , indicating that H0 was rejected and H1 accepted. Thus, the Discovery learning model significantly improved students’ mathematical reasoning ability compared to the conventional learning model.
