Implementation Of Problem Based Learning Model Research Articles

PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS MASALAH UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN BERPIKIR KRITIS SISWA SMA NEGERI 2 METRO

The research was to incrase of students' critical thinking skills. The subject of this study were SMAN 2 Metro grade X4 class numbering 30 student in the second semester of the academic 2011/2012. And the object of his research is the critical thinking skills. The results showed that the implementation of problem-based learning model on Biology learning, can increase students' critical thinking skills. Increase critical thinking skills is almost all indicators, such as the ability of clarification, argumentation skills, induction skills, deduction skills, and ability to perform and execute. Increase critical thinking skills that students can be seen from the increase in the average value of each point about the cycle I and cycle II. The success of critical thinking can also be seen from the increase in the thoroughness of learning, that is equal to 6 students in cycle I to cycle II is 24 students. The means the percentage of students who achieve greater value equal to 72 also increased, from 20% in cycle I to 80% in cycle II.

MODEL PEMBELAJARAN BERDASAR MASALAH UNTUK MENINGKATKAN AKTIVITAS DAN HASIL BELAJAR PADA PERKULIAHAN TEORI PELUANG

Abstract The purpose of this research is to improve learning activity and achievement in Probability Theory, through the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL). This research was done in three cycles on first semester students of Mathematics Education of the University Mataram, iin the academic year 2005/2006. In this research, the implementation of PBL model is combined with cooperative model in the phase of problem solving. By improving the quality of learning on each cycle, activity and achievement of students improved significantly, that is the average of achievement is 62.8 at the end of the first cycle, 71.6 in the second and 87.8 at the third. Students’ activity also improved, that is 47% in first cycle, 67% in second and 88% in third. It indicates that PBL implemented in the last cycle can be made as one of instruction model in university, especially for study of probability theory. Keywords: Problem-Based Learning (PBL), learning activity, learning achievement, and Probability Theory.
