This study aims to determine (1) for students which prior knowledge is high, the difference of learning results of students who are taught by NHT learning models and students who are taught by DI learning model, (2) for students with lower prior knowledge, the difference of learning results of students who are taught by NHT learning models and students who are taught by DI learning model. This study used an experimental method of treatment by level. Research results revealed that (1) for students with high prior knowledge, learning outcomes of students who are taught by NHT learning model are 88,14 is higher than students who are taught by DI learning model are 56,36. (2) for students with lower prior knowledge, the learning outcomes of students who are taught by NHT learning model are 54,79 is higher than the learning outcomes of students who are taught by DI learning model are 41,43. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that the application of NHT learning model can improve the students to learning outcomes either at high or low on prior knowledge.
