Efforts to Improve Student Science Learning Using the Problem-Based Learning Model

Abstract

Abstract: Reviewing the problems encountered by researchers in 4 th grade of SDN Madyopuro 6 such as lack of learning in planning, implementation, student activity, and results, then researchers using Problem Based Learning model to solve the problem. This research intends to find out how the planning, implementation, and learning outcomes of students on learning by using the Problem Based Learning model in science learning in 4 th grader SDN Madyopuro 6. The subject of this study is the 4 th grader in SDN Madyopuro 6 with 22 students. The approach in this research is qualitative, with a descriptive model, and the research type is Class Action Research (CAR). The data in this research were collected using observation techniques, field notes, an evaluation test, and also documentation. The result of this research are: (1) there is the improvement of RPP quality in overall action that is equal to 83,33% until 95,83%; (2) the increase of teacher activity also occurred in overall action, that is 76,92% until 88,46%; (3) the increase of student learning activity also occurred in every action, that is 66% until 82%; (4) improvement in data of students' final learning result which also increase in every action for student's classical learning completeness percentage 36,36% until 81,82%. The conclusion of this research is the application of the Problem Based Learning model can improve the process and result of science learning of the 4 th grader of SDN Madyopuro 6.
