Abstract
This study aims to improve higher-order thinking skills and student learning outcomes through the implementation of discovery learning resources in the teaching of cation analysis in groups IV and V. This study was conducted at the State University of Medan in the academic year 2022–2023. The research involved 60 students and was divided into two classes: the experimental class, taught with discovery learning resources and the control class, taught with the student handbook. The implementation of discovery learning resources could improve students' higher-order thinking skills, as seen in the preparation of project plans (M = 75.892.26) and project reports (M = 81.944.16). The learning outcomes in the experimental class (M = 86.20 5.59) are higher than the scores in the control class (M = 78.80 5.24). It is concluded that the discovery of learning media with the acquisition of standardized values (M = 3.570.41) is feasible to be implemented in the teaching of Analytical Chemistry.
