Abstract

Students achievement that are less than optimal indicate the students thinking skills are not maximal. To improve students thinking skills can be done in several ways among others, students further deepen  the concept of material, to provide further explanation and to provide alternative solutions to problems, so that students in the future are expected to solve problems in the environment. One learning model that can improve students thinking skills is problem based learning. Problem-based  learning models can encourage students ability to conduct investigations and be able to provide alternative solutions to problems. This study aims to analyze the model problem based -fishbone on reproductive system material influencing learning outcomes and the health care attitude of high school students. This study used a quasi experimental design with  pretest-posttest control group design. The sample of this study was students of class XI MIPA 2 and XI MIPA 6 in SMA N 1 Dempet which were determined using purposive sampling technique. The independent variable is a model problem based-fishbone on reproductive system material. Dependent variables are student learning outcomes and student health care attitudes. How to retrieve data using test and observation sheet questions. The results of data analysis showed that student learning outcomes could increase after learning activities were completed with completeness for both classes in a row 79.54% and 90.48%, and students had good health care attitudes. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the application of the model problem based- fishbone influences learning outcomes and health care attitudes in high school students.

Highlights

  • Science is the key of Science and Technology development, so it has become a very important aspect in various aspects of human life

  • Hadi et al (2010) states that problem based learning (PBL) has a positive influence on critical thinking skills and understanding of biology concepts of public high school students in Malang

  • Learning outcomes are seen through evaluation activities that aim to obtain evidence data that show the level of students’ ability to achieve learning goals

Summary

Introduction

Science is the key of Science and Technology development, so it has become a very important aspect in various aspects of human life. The low quality of thinking of students is the result of science education that is not concerned with the students' socio-cultural environment. Most students are not able to apply scientific concepts in real life, and teaching does not focus on the principle that science includes understanding concepts, and connecting them with everyday life. Learning with the PBL model is based on the principle that problems can be used as a starting point for acquiring new knowledge. The PBL model can change students from receiving passive information to be active (student centered). Hadi et al (2010) states that PBL has a positive influence on critical thinking skills and understanding of biology concepts of public high school students in Malang Problem-based learning is an approach in learning that helps students to find problems from a real event, gather information through a self-determined strategy to take one problem-solving decision which will be presented in their performances (Afcariono, 2008). Hadi et al (2010) states that PBL has a positive influence on critical thinking skills and understanding of biology concepts of public high school students in Malang
