Education is a comprehensive process aimed at developing human quality, in which the success of learning largely depends on the implementation of appropriate instructional strategies. Learning strategies serve as a guide for educators in managing the interaction between teachers, learners, materials, and the learning environment to achieve educational goals effectively and efficiently. This study aims to describe the objectives of learning strategies in improving learning quality and to explain how relevant learning models can be applied based on students’ characteristics and learning contexts. This research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review method by analyzing various theories and previous studies related to learning strategies and educational quality improvement. The findings indicate that learning strategies play a central role in creating active, creative, and meaningful learning processes. The application of several models such as cooperative learning, inquiry learning, contextual teaching and learning, project-based learning, and discovery learning has been proven to enhance students’ motivation, engagement, and learning outcomes in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Therefore, systematically designed and adaptive learning strategies that focus on students’ potential are the key to improving learning quality and achieving comprehensive educational objectives.

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) through the application of the Discovery Learning model assisted by image media in grade V of Nurul Khoir Elementary School, Jambi City. This study is a classroom action research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects in this study were 26 fourth-grade students. Data collection techniques used included tests, observation, and documentation to obtain more comprehensive data on student learning outcomes. The results of the study showed an increase in student learning outcomes in each cycle. In cycle I, the percentage of student learning outcomes reached 73.92%, and increased in cycle II to 85.30%. This increase indicates that the application of the Discovery Learning model assisted by image media can improve student learning outcomes in the subject of IPAS. The Discovery Learning model provides opportunities for students to learn actively and independently, by utilizing attractive image media and making it easier for students to understand the concepts taught. Thus, this model can be used as an alternative in a more effective and interesting learning process. Furthermore, the implementation of this model also had a positive impact on student engagement in learning activities, making the teaching and learning process more interactive and enjoyable. This study recommends that the Discovery Learning model, assisted by image media, be applied more widely across various subjects to improve the quality of learning in elementary schools. In the future, this research can also be continued by examining the application of similar models in other subjects and measuring their impact on improving students' cognitive abilities and overall skills.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of various innovative learning models on improving student learning outcomes and mathematical skills at the junior high school and senior high school levels. The method used is a literarure study of previous research results that applied learning models such as the Flipped Classroom, Project-Based Learning (PjBL), Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL), Discovery Learning, Mind Mapping, and other cooperative learning models. The analysis results indicate that these models generally have a positive impact on enhancing students' learning engagement, critical and creative thinking skills, numeracy skills, mathematical communication, and problem-solving abilities. These findings reinforce the urgency of adopting student-centred learning approaches based on higher-order thinking skills (HOTS). Therefore, it is recommended that teachers continue to develop the application of innovative learning models in accordance with the characteristics of students and supported by educational policies that encourage innovation and continuous training. This research is expected to serve as a reference for educators and policymakers in designing more effective and meaningful learning.   

An investigation was conducted at A State Senior High School in Kupang City, NTT.to assess how Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and Discovery Learning (DL) models differentially impact student learning activities and outcomes when teaching atomic structure. Adopting a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group, the study collected data through comprehensive activity questionnaires, observation sheets, and pretest/posttest instruments. The findings clearly showed that PjBL significantly boosted student learning activities, with an average score of 81.19, considerably higher than the 66.15 observed in the DL group. This significant difference was statistically confirmed by an independent samples t-test. Regarding learning outcomes, the PjBL group's average (70.97) was marginally better than the DL group's (68.89), but this difference did not reach statistical significance. It is suggested that limitations in learning time may have played a role in the learning outcomes. This study concludes that PjBL is superior for enhancing student engagement and activity, while both PjBL and DL are equally effective in improving student learning outcomes. Ultimately, the choice of a learning model should be strategically aligned with educational goals, subject matter, and the unique characteristics of the classroom to maximize student achievement.

In this study, the goal is to compare the academic results of economics students from Pasuruan Public Secondary School 3 classes, which use the PBL learning model, inquiry-based learning and discovery-based learning.

The problem in this research is the lack of variation in learning carried out by teachers in the classroom, due to the inappropriate selection of learning models, so that learning is less than optimal. The aim is to evaluate how effective the Discovery Learning learning model is in increasing student understanding compared to conventional learning methods. The method used is an experiment with a quasi-experimental design, namely Nonequivalent Control Group Design. In this study, there were two groups: an experimental group that was taught using Discovery Learning and a control group that was not given this treatment. The population of this study were all 5th grade students at MIN 1 Soppeng. The research hypothesis analyzed using the T test is the statement that the Discovery Learning learning model influences student learning outcomes. The sample in this study was determined by a saturated population, namely 5th grade students consisting of 45 people. The data collection techniques used in this research were multiple choice tests and observation sheets, with pre-tests and post-tests to measure students' cognitive learning outcomes. The instruments used in this research were tests and non-tests. The average pretest score in the experimental class and control class was almost the same, 71.78 and 71 respectively, but in the posttest, the experimental class increased to 88.65, while the control class only reached 77.55. Thus, the experimental class experienced a more significant increase in the average posttest score compared to the control class, indicating that the intervention or treatment applied in the experimental class was more effective in improving student learning outcomes. Hypothesis testing based on t-test analysis shows significant differences between the two groups, where the calculated t value (11.22771) is greater than the t table (2.016692), so the null hypothesis (H_0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H_1) is accepted. These findings show that the Discovery Learning learning model has a greater positive impact on improving student learning outcomes compared to conventional methods, so it can be concluded that this method is effectively used in science learning at MIN 1 Soppeng.
