Abstract

Abstract: This research is motivated by the low of learning achievements of students of SMP Negeri 12 Pekanbaru. This research is aimed at improving the student learning achievements by using the Discovery Learning model. This classroom action research was conducted in VII.6 class of SMP Negeri 12 Pekanbaru in the first semester of the school year 2019/2020. The subjects of this research were grade VII.6 of SMP Negeri 12 Pekanbaru that consists of 38 students with 16 were male and 22 were female.
