Abstract

This study aims to increase the students’ comprehension of the concept of hydrostatic pressure and the law of Archimedes through discovery learning. The subjects of the study were VIII-A SMPK Citra Bangsa Kupang, Province of East Nusa Tenggara in the academic year 2016/2017. The data of this study consisted of quantitative and qualitative data. The instruments used in the study were pretest and posttest in the form of reasoned multiple choice. The result of data analysis of concept comprehension showed that the posttest average score was 83.33 and it was greater than the pretest score that achieved 46.66. The calculation of d-effect size was 2.73 (very high category) and N-gain was 0.69 (medium category). Thus, it is concluded that the discovery learning model has a positive impact on the improvement of concept comprehension.
