Abstrak
Senior High School 2 Sawerigadi is one of the schools in Sawerigadi District, West Muna Regency, where students' learning outcomes remain relatively low. This condition is attributed to the use of conventional teaching methods, which make students feel bored and less interested in participating in the learning process. This study aimed to: 1) examine students' learning activities; 2) analyze teachers' teaching activities; and 3) determine the improvement in the learning outcomes of Grade XI students at SMA Negeri 2 Sawerigadi through the implementation of the Discovery Learning model on the topic of Indonesian flora and fauna. This study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design. The results showed that: 1) the average score of students' learning activities increased from 2.40 (fair category) in Cycle I to 3.26 (good category) in Cycle II; 2) the average score of teachers' teaching activities improved from 2.85 (fair category) in Cycle I to 3.25 (good category) in Cycle II; and 3) students' learning achievement increased from a learning mastery level of 62% in Cycle I to 95% in Cycle II. These findings indicate that the implementation of the Discovery Learning model effectively enhances students' learning activities, teachers' teaching activities, and students' learning outcomes.
