Abstract

This study seeks to examine whether the use of the Discovery Learning model supported by pop-up book media influences the science learning outcomes of elementary school students. The research involved fourth-grade students enrolled at Jatihurip State Elementary School consisting of 2 classes totaling 60 people. and the subjects used were 30 students of class IV A and 30 students of class IV B. The participants were selected through purposive sampling, while the required data were obtained by administering a test. Design method used was a Quasi-Experimental Design with an Unequal Control Group Design type. The experimental group achieved a mean score of 80.83, whereas the control group obtained a mean score of 67.83. Normality of the data was assessed using the Shapiro–Wilk test, with the analysis performed through SPSS. Based on the results obtained, the significance value for the experimental group’s pre-test and post-test data, as well as the control group’s pre-test data, was below 0.05, so that the learning independence data is not normally distributed. Meanwhile, in the final questionnaire for the control class, the value was greater than 0.05, so the data were normally distributed. Based on the results of the Mann Whitney U Test, the Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value was 0.000, which means the significance value was <0.05, so   rejected and  accepted. The results of the study showed that there was a significant influence on the practice of the Discovery learning model aided by pop-up book media on the science competency of 4th-grade students at Jatihurip State Elementary School.
