Abstract

This research demonstrates that the discovery learning approach effectively enhances Grade X students' abilities to analyze negotiation texts at SMAN 1 Suranenggala. The study arose from teachers' difficulties in managing group discussions and helping students understand text structures during lessons. The researchers sought to evaluate how discovery learning influences students' negotiation text analysis skills. Using a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests, the study compared two groups of 30 students each: X MIPA 1 received discovery learning instruction (experimental group), while X MIPA 2 used traditional discussion methods (control group). Data collection involved testing, observation, and documentation procedures. The findings indicated that students in the experimental group achieved an average post-test score of 76.16, compared to the control group which scored 70.16. The statistical examination produced a t-value of 3.516, surpassing the t-table of 2.001, indicating a notable distinction between the two groups. These results validate that discovery learning significantly improves students' proficiency in analyzing negotiation texts.
