Abstract

This study aims to determine the use of problem-based learning (PBL) models in increasing student learning activities. The research method uses two cycles of classroom action research (CAR). Each process consists of two meetings. The subjects of this study were the fourth-grade students of public elementary school (SDN) Karanggedang, totaling 11 students consisting of 9 boys and two girls. The results of this study indicate that the percentage of student learning activity increases from the first cycle to the second cycle. In the first cycle, the rate of student activity was 63 percent; in the second cycle, it increased to 80 percent. Furthermore, the percentage of learning implementation in the first cycle is 70 percent and in the second cycle is 85 percent. From the average results in the second cycle, it appears that learning activity and problem-based learning implementation are categorized as very good because they both experienced an increase. The research shows that applying the problem-based learning model is very suitable for increasing students' learning activities at SDN Karanggedang, Bruno District, Purworejo Regency, Central Java.
