The Use of Guided Discovery Learning Model In Mathematics Subject

One of the mathematics purposes in education is the ability to solve problems of mathematics, another subject or problems in connection with everyday life. Guided discovery learning model is one of the learning models in which a teacher can choose to help students solve the difficulties in learning mathematics. According to Bruner, discovery learning is a learning process in which a student encounters a problem, then he or she is able to discover the solution to his or her own problems. During the learning activities, students are expected to be able to find something, formulate hypotheses, or draw a conclusion themselves while the teacher acts as a facilitator who guides the students when the teacher is needed. This research aims to explain the use of Guided Discovery learning model in mathematics subject. The research uses descriptive qualitative method, which is to collect data from various sources, to read the data repeatedly and then to write down the data in line with the research objectives. The results show that guided discovery can increase students' motivation and learning achievement in mathematics.
