Pengembangan Bahan Ajar Berbasis Discovery Pada Pembelajaran IPA Materi Cahaya

Abstract

The aim of this research were to produce an interesting and a beneficial learning material based on discovery for the fourth grade of elementary school and also to know effectively can to increase their science learnings outcome. The method that used in this study was Reasearch and Development (R&D) method. The instruments that used in collecting data were a questionnaire and multiple choice test. Data were taken from the population and sample in Central Metro 4^th Elementary School, 5^th Elementary School, and 6^th Elementary School with the total number of students as much as 96 students. The data were analyzed by using a Gain-Test. The result of this research showed that the developed learning material was valid, interesting, and beneficial to the fourth grade of elementary school students and the developed learning material based discovery effectively can to increase their science learnings outcome.
