The effectiveness of learning instruments on the topic of the set using problem-based learning model at Islamic junior high school in Pekanbaru

Abstract

This study is a continuation of the research and development of learning instruments on the topic of set. Researchers through Research and Development have produced prototypes of learning instruments, namely: lesson plan and worksheets. The prototype of the learning instruments has been analyzed for validity and practicality. The learning instruments then needed to be tested for its effectiveness through experimental research in two classes, the experiment, and control class. The purpose of the study was to examine the difference of learning outcomes between classes using learning instruments on the topic of the set and the class using the conventional learning model in Year 7 at one of the Islamic Junior High School in Pekanbaru. This research used a pre-experimental research design from a static group comparison. The results showed that the students’ learning outcome using learning instruments of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model was better than their counterpart. The learning instruments using the problem-based learning model was effective to be used in Islamic Junior High School in Pekanbaru.
