<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of the group discussion method on students’ learning activeness at MAS PAB 4 Klumpang. The study was motivated by the importance of creating a learning process that encourages students to participate actively by expressing opinions, asking and answering questions, and collaborating in solving learning problems. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population consisted of students at MAS PAB 4 Klumpang, while the sample was determined using a sampling technique appropriate to the characteristics of the population. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring the implementation of the group discussion method and students’ learning activeness. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and simple linear regression to determine the effect of the group discussion method on students’ learning activeness. The results indicate that the implementation of the group discussion method has a positive effect on students’ learning activeness. The method encourages students to communicate more actively, express opinions, provide responses, ask questions, answer questions, and participate in completing group assignments. Therefore, the better the group discussion method is implemented, the higher the level of students’ learning activeness. This study concludes that the group discussion method can serve as an effective learning strategy for increasing student participation in the classroom. Its implementation should be supported by effective group management, proportional task distribution, and the teacher’s role as a facilitator so that all students have equal opportunities to participate actively in the learning process.]]>
