This study was conducted to determine the effect of buzz group discussion learning methods on the activeness and learning achievement of physics in class VIII of SMPN 4 Praya Barat Daya 2015/2016 Academic Year. The type of research used in this study is a kind of quasi-experimental research. The population in this study were all eighth-grade students totaling 38 people consisting of class VIII A totaling 20 people as the experimental class and class VIII B totaling 18 people as the control class with the sampling technique used was a saturated sampling technique. The instruments used are valid observation and test sheets both in content, construct, and empirical with a value of 3.34; 3.40; and 3.23, and reliable with the value of αCronbach = 0.608. The results of this study were also able to influence the achievement of learning physics. Based on statistical calculations using the ttest test, the value of tcount = 23.00 is greater than t table = 2.02 (t count = 23.00> t table = 2.02). Thus, it can be concluded that there is the influence of buzz group discussion learning methods on the activeness and learning achievement of physics in class VIII Praya Barat Daya SMP 4 2015/2016 Academic Year.
