Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Problembased Learning Terintegrasi Snowball Throwing untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Bertanya Siswa Kelas X-4 di SMAN Pakusari

“…Peningkatan keterampilan bertanya saat menggunakan PBL terintegrasi Snowbal Throwing di pengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor yaitu karena siswa tertarik dengan metode snowball yang merupakan sebuah permainan sehingga siswa tidak merasa bosan dan memantik siswa mengikuti pembelajaran dan dengan dintegrasikan dengan PBL ada sebuah masalah yang harus mereka pecahkan sehingga mereka merasa tertantang (Saputra, 2019). Dengan adanya metode snowball throwing ini sesuai dengan langkah-langkahnya memantik siswa untuk membuat pertanyaan dari sebuah masalah sehingga siswa yang awalnya takut untuk mengemukakan pendapatnya, pada pembelajaran penggunakan PBL terintegrasi Snowball throwing mereka dengan senang membuat pertanyaan dan saling menjawab pertanyaan temannya melalui kajian literature yang mereka lakukan sebelumnya.…”
