Collaborative Problem-based Learning: An Analysis of Problem-Solving Skills in Vocational Schools

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using Collaborative Problem-Based Learning (CPBL) on students' problem-solving skills. This study used a 2x2 factorial design, in which the selection of experimental and control groups was determined with convenience sampling. The data analysis technique of this research is divided into two types, namely the prerequisite analysis test and hypothesis testing. The findings of this study concluded that students who studied with CPBL had significantly higher problem-solving skills than students who studied with Direct Instruction (DI). In addition, high problem-solving skills were generally owned by students with high initial skills. Meanwhile, the complete the results of the hypothesis test this study also showed a significant interaction between the learning model and initial skills on students' problem-solving skills in internal combustion motor competences. This shows that the selection of the right learning model is needed according to the initial skills of students so that problem-solving skills can be adequately developed. Thus, it is hoped that vocational school students can become graduates who can compete in the world of work.

The Pengenbangan

“…For learning purposes that involve students to actively develop cognitive abilities, student worksheets are needed (Mumtaza & Zulfiani, 2023;Piawi et al, 2018). One of the characteristics of learning physics in vocational schools is that the learning process and learning materials are adapted to the character and competency skills of students (Hidayatullah et al, 2020). Electrical materials are one of the materials that are not compatible with vocational materials (Khoeriah et al, 2020).…”

“…Most of the students experienced an increase in their ability to solve problems in dynamic electricity physics after learning physics using engineering design process-based student worksheets. Physics learning in vocational high school does not only cover concept mastery but also its application (Amalia et al, 2024;Hidayatullah et al, 2020). Physics learning must be developed on the basis of the application of theory (Roemintoyo & Budiarto, 2023).…”

Analisis soft-skills siswa smk program keahlian teknik komputer dan informatika

“…Masih rendahnya kemampuan pemecahaman masalah pada siswa perempuan dapat diakibatkan masih kurangnya kepercayaan diri yang dimiliki sehingga mempengaruhi kemampuan pemecahan masalah (Güven, 2010), selain itu perlu adanya pembelajaran yang menekankan akan metode-metode yang rasional dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan (CİHAN, 2018). Kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa SMK khususnya Program Keahlian TKI perlu ditingkatkan mengingat kemampuan pemecahan masalah sangatlah penting tidak hanya dalam kegiatan belajar, namun juga pada kegiatan sehari-hari, dan dalam dunia kerja (Rachmad Syarifuddin Hidayatullah, Sudirman Rizki Ariyanto, Muhaji, Mubarok, & Yohannes, 2020;Rustam E, Sidabutar, & Edy, 2017). Berdasarkan lima indikator yang digunakan untuk mengukur kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa SMK Program Keahlian TKI, indikator merumuskan masalah dan menyusun hipotesis perlu ditingkatkan secara signifikan, sementara untuk indikator menguji hipotesis, mengembangkan dan mengambil kesimpulan, serta menerapkan kesimpulan telah berada pada kategori yang baik.…”

The Development of E-Book Based on Project Based Learning on the Plant Anatomy Structure Material

“…In this era human resources are trained to have skills in order to face the world, and succeed in an increasingly complex and uncertain life (Rahmawati, 2021). Teachers also need to pay attention to students' initial skills, problem solving skills in order to increase and facilitate the process of defining the problem solution (Hidayatullah, 2020). Problem-solving skills are needed by students to solve every problem that appears in everyday life.…”
