Implementation of the Learning Cycle 5E Learning Model Assisted by Scaffolding to Improve Students' Learning Outcomes and Science Process Skills on Buffer Solution Material. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Learning Cycle 5E model assisted by scaffolding in improving students’ learning outcomes and science process skills on buffer solution material. The research design used was one group pretest-posttest involving students of class XI MIA at SMA Negeri 4 Medan. The intervention was conducted in three learning cycles. Data were collected using pretest-posttest instruments and science process skill observation sheets. The N-Gain results showed an increase in students’ learning outcomes from cycle I (0.52), cycle II (0.69), to cycle III (0.73), with an average gain score of 64.63%, categorized as moderately effective. Science process skills of students reached a high level with an average score of 73.61%. implementation of the Learning Cycle 5E model assisted by scaffolding is effective in enhancing students’ understanding and scientific skills in buffer solution learning.
