Implementation of discovery learning model assisted by E-LKPD against understanding social studies concepts in sixth grade elementary school

Abstract

This research is driven by the issues that arise from a lack of innovative media and the inadequate understanding of social studies concepts among sixth-grade elementary school students. This study aims to enhance students' comprehension of social studies concepts through the implementation of the E-LKPD-assisted Discovery Learning approach. The understanding of social studies among sixth-grade students remains insufficient due to the scarcity of creative media. By utilizing E-LKPD, an elementary school in Cimahi can address these challenges effectively through the Discovery Learning method. The study employs a one-group pre-test post-test design, utilizing a pre-experimental methodology. The participant group consists of thirty sixth-grade students. The normality test results from the pre-test indicated a significance value of 0.443, suggesting that the data is normally distributed. Similarly, the post-test results revealed a regularly distributed value with a significance value of 0.128. The findings indicate that sixth-grade elementary school students who engage in the Discovery Learning approach with support from E-LKPD exhibit a better understanding of social studies concepts.
