Abstract

The aims of this study was to investigate the effect of discovery learning model on students' integrated thinking abilities in the form of analytical thinking skills and science process skills, and students' creative attitudes in the buffer solution lesson. The population was students of eleventh grade students of science class in Yogyakarta, academic year of 2017/2018. The sample of this study consisted of two classes in Yogyakarta public high school taken using a random sampling technique. Each experimental and control class was 32 students. The treatments for experimental class was the use of discovery learning, and expository model for the treatment on control class. Data collection used in this study was an integrated thinking ability test and students' creative attitudes questionnaire. The data of students' integrated abilities and creative attitudes were analyzed by observing the results of significance value and partial eta squared on MANOVA test. The results of multivariate analysis showed that there was an effect of discovery learning on students' integrated thinking abilities and creative attitudes of 12%. This means the integrated thinking abilities and creative attitude of students applying discovery model is better than integrated thinking abilities and creative attitudes of students with expository model. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
