CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1. Conclusion
After conducting the research and analyzing the data, there are some conclusions
that gotten, they are:
1. The student’s achievement that taught by discovery learning model is
significant higher than the student’s achievement that taught by using direct
instruction method sig
; 0.000 0.05.
2. The student’s chemistry achievement that taught by discovery learning model
is better 100 could pass KKM than taught by direct instruction method
51 could pass KKM.
3. The development of student’s cooperation character that taught by discovery
learning model is 64.54 medium criteria.
4. The development of student’s curiosity character that taught by discovery
learning model is 59.41 medium criteria.
5.2. Suggestion
From the result of the research, there are some suggestion must be raised: 1.
It is suggested for chemistry teacher to use Discovery Learning model in learning Buffer Solution topic to increase the stu
dent’s cooperation character in learning process.
2. It is suggested for chemistry teacher to use Discovery Learning model in
learning Buffer Solution topic to increas e the student’s curiosity character in
learning process. 3.
It is suggested for chemistry teacher to use Discovery Learning model in learning Buffer Solution
topic to increase the student’s achievement in learning process.
CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of Research
Education is the sector that most important for human civilization in this world. Education is also very important for improving the quality of human
resources especially in Indonesia. If the education quality of certain country is conceited, it will make life level of society will be well in their country. But in
Indonesia the quality of education is still low. It can be seen from one of indicator that has been done by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization UNESCO, for the education quality of development country in Asia Pacific, Indonesia is place in 10 level of the 14 country, whereas quality of
teacher exist in level 14 of the 14 UNESCO, 2010. The quality of education can be achieved with a suitable learning process in
the classroom. However, there are still many facts on the ground that student management system only done by direct instruction method that can not make
students enough understand and lead to passive students which can not foster the student
’s achievement. This is obvious with the discovery of facts in SMAN 5 Medan that the students are still low in chemistry learning outcomes. It can be
seen from the results of daily exams with the KKM value of chemistry is 75, while the students that are able to achieve only 30.
In the other side, the problem of chemistry subject in senior high school is the weakness of teachers in channeling the child’s potency. Educators often
impose their own desire without observing their requisites, interest and talent that exist in each student. The other problem is that the learning model that used by
teacher is still monotonous, while the teachers always use direct instruction method, so the teacher dominates teaching and learning process in classroom that
makes the student is less motivated to study. Direct instruction method also makes student confuse to learn a topic that is abstract or infrequently meet by student,
because by using the direct instruction method, the teacher tends not representing
