Abstract

Learning about ecosystems often faces challenges such as low student
engagement and the lack of media that facilitates independent concept
discovery. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of interactive
Student Worksheets (LKPD) based on the Discovery Learning model
in improving the learning outcomes of tenth-grade students at SMAN
Arjasa Jember. The research employed a quasi-experimental method
with a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects consisted of
two classes: the experimental class used interactive LKPD based on
Discovery Learning, while the control class used conventional LKPD.
Learning outcomes were measured using a validated multiple-choice
test and analyzed with an independent t-test at a 5% significance level.
The results indicated that the experimental class achieved significantly
higher posttest scores than the control class (p < 0.05), with a high
category gain score in the experimental class and a medium category
in the control class. These findings demonstrate that interactive LKPD
based on Discovery Learning is effective in enhancing student learning
outcomes on the ecosystem topic. The application of interactive
learning media aligned with active learning approaches is
recommended to improve the quality of biology instruction.
