Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan model Discovery Learning di kelas XC SMAN 3 Pamekasan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks recount. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK), yang diadaptasi oleh Kemmis dan McTaggart. Sebanyak 31 siswa dari kelas XC SMAN 3 Pamekasan menjadi subjek dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam dua siklus yang terdiri dari perencanaan, tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Observasi, dokumentasi, dan tes tertulis digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan siswa mengalami peningkatan pada siklus I yaitu sebesar 24,81 poin atau 46,49%, dengan nilai rata-rata pretest 53,38 menjadi 78,19. Namun pada siklus II nilai rata-rata menurun menjadi 76,59. Penurunan ini terjadi sebesar 1,60 poin atau -2,05%, namun meskipun terjadi penurunan, masih ada peningkatan dari pre-test sebesar 43. Penurunan ini disebabkan oleh faktor internal dan eksternal. Sebagian besar 51% dipengaruhi oleh faktor eksternal, yang terjadi di dalam kelas pada saat post test karena pada saat post test bertepatan dengan adanya razia handphone siswa sehingga secara langsung mempengaruhi mood dan fokus siswa dalam mempersiapkan diri menghadapi tes. Oleh karena itu diperlukan pengelolaan kelas yang ketat dan inovatif selama pembelajaran dan penilaian untuk meminimalisir gangguan dari luar.
