This research paper aims to know the effectiveness of the Guided Discovery model towards the cognitive competence, meticulous attitude, and psychomotor skill and to know the comparison between the effectiveness of the guided discovery model and the conventional model. The type of this research was quasi-experimental research. This research was conducted by Early Childhood Education (PAUD) Major of Jakarta State University (UNJ) by determining one class that would receive the treatment (the experimental class) and one other class as the control class. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that the learning by using the guided discovery model is effective to improve the cognitive competence, meticulous attitude, and psychomotor skills. Based on the average scores and the value of the comparison test between the experimental group and the control group for the cognitive competence and meticulous attitude tend to be more effective when guided discovery was applied. While for the psychomotor skill, the result of its effectiveness is relatively the same (there is no significant difference) between the experimental group and the control group. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
