This study aimed to determine the effect of the Discovery Learning model on the learning outcomes of sixth-grade students in Pendidikan Pancasila at SD Negeri 060905 Medan Maimun. The study used a quantitative approach with a quasiexperimental method and a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population consisted of 60 sixth-grade students, and all population members were used as the sample through total sampling. The sample was divided into an experimental class and a control class, each consisting of 30 students. Data were collected using a multiple-choice test administered as a pretest and posttest. The instrument was tested for validity, reliability, discrimination power, and difficulty level before being used. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing, homogeneity testing, and an independent samples t-test using SPSS 26. The descriptive results showed that the experimental class obtained a posttest mean of 84.60, while the control class obtained a mean of 71.73. The homogeneity test produced a significance value of 0.051, indicating homogeneous variances. The hypothesis test produced t = 29.539, df = 58, and Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000. These results indicate a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental and control classes. The findings show that the Discovery Learning model was associated with higher learning outcomes in Pendidikan Pancasila for the sixth-grade students studied.
