Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the discovery learning method on the ability to write narrative texts of class X students at SMA Negeri 1 Ulu Barumun. This type of research is an experimental study with a pre-experimental design that uses a pre-test and post-test to measure students' writing skills before and after the application of the discovery learning method. This method is applied to improve students' writing skills, which are considered difficult because they require a deep understanding of structure and vocabulary. This study was conducted in one class only, by conducting a pre-test and post-test to measure students' writing skills before and after the application of the discovery learning method. The results showed a significant increase in students' average scores, where the average pre-test score was 42.46 and the average post-test reached 57.54. Analysis using the t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the two tests, proving that the discovery learning method is effective in improving students' narrative writing skills. This study is expected to contribute to the development of more innovative learning strategies in the context of modern education.
