Pengaruh Discovery Learning terhadap HOTS dan Karakter Sosial pada Pembelajaran IPS

Abstract

This research aims to determine the significant effect of implementing the discovery learning model on HOTS and the social character of fourth grade elementary school students in social studies lessons. This research class is a quasi-experimental research with a pretest-posttest control group design, with Class IV A as the experimental class and Class IV B as the control class. A pretest-posttest test was administered in a second-grade research and documentation course as a component of the data collection process. The t test was used to assess the hypothesis after appropriate homogeneity and normality tests had been completed. The research results show that the use of discovery learning has a significant effect on HOTS skills and students' social character. A Sig value of 0.00 < 0.05 is shown from the results of the Paired Sample T-test. Thus, the high-level thinking skills of students in the experimental group and the control group are very different. Based on questionnaire data on the influence of the discovery learning model on students' social character, the medium group obtained an average score of 45.5, which shows that the application of the discovery learning model has an effect on students' social character.
