This study aims to determine the effect of the self-directed learning model on students’ cognitive learning outcomes in Geography for grade XI students at SMA Negeri 10 Bandar Lampung in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study is motivated by the low level of students’ cognitive achievement, particularly in Geography, indicating the need for a learning model that can encourage learning independence and improve students’ understanding. This research employed a quantitative approach using an experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, with class XI M.4 as the research sample. The research instruments consisted of pretest and posttest questions to measure students’ cognitive learning outcomes and a self-directed learning questionnaire to assess students’ learning independence. The data analysis techniques used to test the research hypotheses included the paired sample t-test and simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that (1) there was a difference in the mean pretest and posttest scores in the experimental class, with a mean pretest score of 51.44 and a mean posttest score of 85.89; and (2) the self-directed learning model had a significant effect on students’ cognitive learning outcomes in Geography for grade XI students at SMA Negeri 10 Bandar Lampung.
