Abstract
English
This study aims to analyze the effect of applying the Discussion-Comparison with Critical Analysis and Learning Community Extended methods on student motivation and cognitive learning outcomes in Biology at SMA Negeri 7 Bengkulu. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a Nonrandomized Control-Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class taught using innovative methods and the control class taught using conventional methods. The research instruments were a validated motivation questionnaire and a multiple-choice cognitive learning outcome test. The data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test and N-Gain calculations. The results showed that students in the experimental class had higher learning motivation than those in the control class. In addition, the increase in cognitive learning outcomes in the experimental class was also more significant, with an average N-Gain of 0.7225 (high category), while the control class only reached 0.1020 (low category). These findings prove that integrating critical discussion with practitioner involvement can increase students' motivation, conceptual understanding, and analytical skills. Thus, the use of this method is more effective than conventional learning in improving students' cognitive learning outcomes.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh penerapan metode Discussion-Comparison with Critical Analysis dan Learning Community Extended terhadap motivasi serta hasil belajar kognitif siswa pada mata pelajaran Biologi di SMA Negeri 7 Bengkulu. Penelitian ini menggunakan quasi eksperimen dengan desain Nonrandomized Control-Group Pretest-Posttest. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas dua kelas, yaitu kelas eksperimen yang diajar menggunakan metode inovatif dan kelas kontrol yang diajar dengan metode konvensional. Instrumen penelitian berupa angket motivasi yang telah divalidasi serta tes hasil belajar kognitif berbentuk pilihan ganda. Data dianalisis menggunakan uji Mann-Whitney dan perhitungan N-Gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa siswa pada kelas eksperimen memiliki motivasi belajar yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kelas kontrol. Selain itu, peningkatan hasil belajar kognitif pada kelas eksperimen juga lebih signifikan, dengan rata-rata N-Gain sebesar 0,7225 (kategori tinggi), sedangkan kelas kontrol hanya mencapai 0,1020 (kategori rendah). Temuan ini membuktikan bahwa integrasi diskusi kritis dengan keterlibatan praktisi dapat meningkatkan motivasi, pemahaman konseptual, serta keterampilan analisis siswa. Dengan demikian, penggunaan metode tersebut lebih efektif dibandingkan pembelajaran konvensional dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar kognitif siswa.
