Moodle-blended problem solving on student skills in learning optical devices

Abstract

21st-century learners are required to have some life skills in order to adapt to the development of science and technology. The ability of learners to skillfully resolve cannot appear by itself but must be mentored and trained through the learning process that involves the application of the concept of Physics in everyday life today. One strategy enhances the ability of problem-solving is through Blended-Problem Solving based moodle, which is a combination of Blended Learning and Problem-Solving, as well as supported by media based on Moodle. This research was carried out in the Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High School) with through quasi-experimental. The taking of samples with a purposive sampling technique, taken two classes from 4 in grade X with a class experiment was students who got the blended problem-solving learning based moodle and control classes that don’t get. Improved problem-solving skill is measured by using a subjective matter as much as question 4 refers to the indicator of learning. Results of the study showed a difference of students’ problem-solving skill improvement among the class of experiments and control class. Upgrade problem-solving skill class of experiments increases with n- gain 0.71 include categories higher than the class control that increases with n-gain 0.65 that include the category of a middle. Based on the results of a test of the hypothesis with t-test also shows that sig. (0.00) < significance (0.05), meaning that the existence of differences between improvement problem-solving skill of students using blended problem solving based moodle with it is not. This shows that learning with a blended problem solving based on Moodle can be used as alternative problem-solving in learning physics.
