From the SPSS output, in the coefficients table, the constant value (a) is 15.149 and the coefficient (b) is 1.318, resulting in the regression equation: Ŷ = a + bX or 15.149 + 1.318X. From the analysis results, the significance level (α) is 5% = 0.05. The calculated t-value (t_count) is 10.958, while the t-table value (t_table) is 8.851. This indicates that t_count > t_table (10.958 > 8.851). Thus, it shows that there is a positive effect of the discussion method on students’ learning achievement at MTs Muhammadiyah Likuboddong, Sengka Village, Gowa Regency.]]>
