Project Based Learning, Problem Based Learning Dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Pemahaman Konsep Matematis

Abstract

This study aims to differences in mathematical understanding ability and motivation between students who use the Project Based Learning methode and students who use the Problem Based Learning methode in terms of gender (male and female), in. The method used in this research is the Comparative Causal method with convergent Mixed Method (qualitative and quantitative) data analysis techniques. The population is all eighth grade students of SMPN 3 Banjaran Majalengka, samples of class VIII A and VIII B. The instruments used are tests of comprehension, motivation, interview and observation sheets. The results showed that there were no differences in the ability of mathematical understanding and motivation between students using the Project Based Learning metoda and students using the Problem Based Learning metoda in terms of gender (male and female). Other results also show no relationship between motivation and mathematical understanding abilities. Student motivation both in PBL and PjBL classes has increased, because both methodes are methodes that determine active students and with problems at the beginning of student learning become even more enthusiastic in learning mathematics
