Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the problem based learning (PBL) model with the POLYA technique on students' cognitive learning outcomes on the subject matter of business and energy in class X semester II Senior High School Negeri 1 Batang Kuis in 2018/2019 Academic years. This type of research was a quasi experiment with a two group pretest-posttest design. The population of all students of class X Senior High School Negeri 1 Batang Kuis which consists of five classes. The sample selection was done by using cluster random sampling technique. The study involved two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class who were given different treatments. The experimental class and control class each consisted of 30 students. The experimental class was treated with the problem based learning (PBL) model with the POLYA technique and the control class was treated with the conventional learning model. The instrument used in this study was a cognitive learning outcome test in the form of a problem with a total of 8 questions with POLYA's technique scoring guidelines and student activity sheets. The data in this study were analyzed using hypothesis testing t-test. The results showed that there were significant differences, so it can be concluded that there was an effect of using the problem based learning (PBL) model with the POLYA technique on students' cognitive learning outcomes on the subject matter of business and energy in class X Semester II Senior High School Negeri 1 Batang Kuis.

Highlights

  • One of the problems facing the world of education in Indonesia today is the weak learning process

  • The results showed that the average value of the experimental class treated by applying the problem based learning (PBL) model with the POLYA technique was higher than the control class with conventional learning

  • Based on the research results obtained from the results of data analysis and hypothesis testing, it can be concluded as follows: Student learning activities on the subject matter of business and energy using the PBL model with the POLYA technique in class X Senior High School Negeri 1 Batang Kuis in 2018/2019 academic year was in the active category

Summary

Introduction

One of the problems facing the world of education in Indonesia today is the weak learning process. The learning process that occurs in the classroom is directed at students' ability to memorize information only. The average score for PISA 2015 is science score 403, Mathematics 375, and reading 397, looking at the results in 2012, PISA 2015 results have increased, it's just that the ability of Indonesian children aged 15 years under this program is still considered low compared to children other in the world, because the average PISA scores, respectively, are 494, 496, and 501 (OECD, 2016). Physics subjects are generally felt to be difficult by students because physics requires students to understand the concepts in the physics learning process and most students have not been able to connect the material being studied with the knowledge used. Physics learning is only oriented to memorization and formulas without understanding the concepts of physics itself
