Abstract

The purpose of this study is to implement the discovery method to improve learning outcomes in the subject matter of flat shapes and the activities of class VI students at SDN 11 Kota Kulon in the 2018/2019 academic year and teacher performance? This classroom action research aims to determine the increase in learning outcomes in the subject matter of flat shapes and the activities of class VI students at SDN 11 Kota Kulon in the 2018/2019 academic year and teacher performance through the implementation of the discovery method. This research was conducted at SDN 11 Kota Kulon which is located at Jalan Jendral Sudirman No Blk. No. 5.
