PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN DISCOVERY UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS SISWA SMP PADA MATERI INTERAKSI ANTAR MAKHLUK HIDUP DAN LINGKUNGANNYA

APPLICATION OF THE DISCOVERY LEARNING MODEL TO IMPROVE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS ON INTERACTIONS BETWEEN LIVING THINGS AND ENVIRONMENT

Penelitian mempunyai tujuan mendeskripsikan keterlaksanaan pembelajaran, keterampilan proses sains, dan respons siswa terhadap model pembelajaran discovery. Jenis penelitian yaitu penelitian kuantitatif dan menggunakan rancangan Pre-Experimental Designs (non-designs) dengan menggunakan One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Lokasi penelitian salah satu SMP di Sidoarjo. Subjek penelitian yakni 30 siswa. Teknik pengumpulan data yaitu observasi, tes, dan angket. Instrumen penelitian yaitu lembar observasi, lembar soal, dan lembar angket respons. Teknik analisis data pada lembar obervasi dan angket respons yaitu skala guttman, tes keterampilan proses sains yaitu uji normalitas, uji hipotesis, dan N-gain. Rata-rata keterlaksanaan pembelajaran pertemuan pertama dan kedua mendapatkan kategori sangat baik. Tes keterampilan proses sains mendapatkan kategori tinggi. Angket respons mendapatkan kategori sangat baik. Simpulan yaitu Ada peningkatan terhadap keterampilan proses sains siswa  SMP pada materi interaksi antar makhluk hidup dan lingkungannya. Saran yaitu pendidik dapat menerapkan model pembelajaran discovery untuk keterampilan proses sains.

The research aims to describe the implementation of learning, science process skills, and student responses to the discovery learning model. The type of research is quantitative research and uses Pre-Experimental Designs (non-designs) using One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research location is one of the junior high schools in Sidoarjo. The research subjects were 30 students. Data collection techniques are observation, tests and questionnaires. The research instruments are observation sheets, question sheets, and response questionnaire sheets. Data analysis techniques on observation sheets and response questionnaires are the Guttman scale, science process skills tests, namely normality test, hypothesis test, and N-gain. The average implementation of learning at the first and second meetings was in the very good category. The science process skills test received a high category. The response questionnaire was in the very good category. The conclusion is that there has been an increase in junior high school students' science process skills in the interaction material between living things and their environment. The suggestion is that educators can apply the discovery learning model for science process skills.
