Abstract

This research aims to find out whether the Discovery Learning Model can effectively influence students' skills in writing descriptive texts. The population of this research is class X students of Petatal National Private High School for the 2024/2025 academic year. This research uses quantitative methods. Data collection techniques are carried out through writing tests. The results showed that the average pre-test score for the control group was 42.2, while for the experimental group it was 53.4. Furthermore, the average post-test score for the control group was 71.2 and for the experimental group was 80.3. Implementation of the Discovery Learning Model has proven to be effective in improving students' writing skills. Data were analyzed using the t-test formula. The analysis results show that the t score is higher than the t-table (7.89 > 1.699) at a significance level of 0.05 with 64 degrees of freedom. This means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected.
