Penerapan Model Discovery Learning dengan Pendekatan CRT untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of integrating the Discovery Learning model with the Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach to enhance learning outcomes in Science and Social Studies (IPAS) among fifth-grade students at SDN Tanjungrejo 3 Malang. This study, conducted as Classroom Action Research (CAR) over two cycles, involved 27 students. Data were gathered through pretest and posttest evaluations to assess the progress in students' learning outcomes. The results demonstrated a significant increase in academic performance, with 63% of students meeting the Minimum Competency Criteria in the first cycle and 93% achieving the Minimum Competency Criteria in the second cycle. The application of Discovery Learning combined with CRT not only facilitated improved academic achievement but also fostered greater student engagement and participation. These findings align with prior research, reinforcing that the combination of CRT and Discovery Learning effectively supports the enhancement of student learning outcomes. The study concludes that this integrated approach is a highly effective strategy for fostering inclusive and culturally relevant learning, particularly in elementary education.
