This study aims to determine the effect of applying the problem based learning (PBL) learning model to students' interest in learning chemistry on the topic of chemical equilibrium. This research is a quantitative research type of quasi experiment using posttest only design. The study was conducted at SMA Negeri 6 Pekanbaru. The sample was determined using simple random sampling technique. Data on students 'interest in learning chemistry are collected using a questionnaire based on five categories, namely the level of students' interest in chemistry, personal choice, teacher's role, situational interest, and willingness to attend chemistry learning. Quantitative data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, percentage, and One-Way ANOVA hypothesis testing. Descriptive analysis is used to describe the interest in learning chemistry. The results showed that there were significant differences in interest in learning chemistry between students applying PBL learning models and expository learning models on the topic of chemical equilibrium. Interest in learning chemistry of students is still relatively low, but students who use the PBL model show higher scores than expository classes. Male students are more interested in chemistry than female students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
