<![CDATA[ABSTRACTBased on the results of observations to grade VI students of SD Negeri 2 Tanjung Kota Tasikmalaya, most of the students had scores that had not yet reached the KKM. Factors that are considered to be the trigger for the low learning outcomes of students' science learning include students who pay less attention to learning. This happens because students consider science learning in the classroom less challenging and boring so that students are less interested in paying attention to science lessons. Therefore it is necessary to make efforts to improve student learning outcomes through the application of appropriate learning methods. This study aims to improve the science learning outcomes of grade VI SD Negeri 2 Tanjung Kota Tasikmalaya using guided discovery learning methods. This type of research is a classroom action research using the Kemmis and Taggart model. The subjects of this study were 41 students of grade VI. This research was conducted in two cycles of action. In each cycle, there are planning, implementation, observation and reflection activities. The instruments used were observation sheets and test. The results of the first cycle research showed that the percentage of students whose grades were above the KKM had only reached 70.73%, so they still could not reach the criteria for research success. In the second cycle, the percentage of learning completeness increased to 85.37%. The results of these studies indicate that the application of the guided discovey method can improve science learning outcomes.Keywords: learning methods, guided discovery, learning outcomesABSTRAKBerdasarkan hasil observasi kepada siswa kelas VI SD Negeri 2 Tanjung Kota Tasikmalaya, sebagaian besar siswa memiliki nilai masih belum mencapai KKM. Faktor yang dianggap menjadi pemicu rendahnya hasil belajar IPA siswa, diantaranya siswa kurang memerhatikan pembelajaran. Terjadinya hal ini dikarenakan siswa menganggap pembelajaran IPA di kelas kurang menantang dan membosankan sehingga siswa kurang menaruh minat untuk memperhatikan pelajaran.
