Improving Mathematics Learning Outcomes Through Problem Based Instruction

Abstract

The main problem in this study refers to the students that have a low mathematics learning outcome. This is caused by the lack of application of relevant learning models in the mathematics learning process. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Problem Based Instruction model on the mathematics learning outcomes of fifth-grade students. This research is a quasi-experimental research using the Non-Equivalent Control Group Design which in its pretest is only used to determine group equality. Cluster technique was used to determine the research sample until 2 groups were selected consisting of the experimental group and the control group with a total sample of 87 students from a total of 8 population members with a total number of students 243. The test description was chosen as an instrument for data collection to obtain the score, analyzed by analysis techniques inferential statistics use the formula of variance separated in the t-test. Based on the results of the analysis, t count > t table is 7.2909> 2.021. So H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the Problem Based Instruction model has a positive effect on the learning outcomes of students.

Pengaruh Cognitive Skills Terhadap Hasil Belajar Matematika Secara Daring

“…Sayangnya cognitive skills yang merupakan salah satu keterampilan yang dibutuhkan dalam dunia kerja dimasa yang akan datang belum optimal dimiliki oleh siswa di Indonesia yang dapat dilihat dari peringkat tes (PISA) 2018 yang hanya menempatkan Indonesia berada di peringkat 71 dari 78 negara, (OECD, 2018); Daya saing SDM Indonesia urutan 50 dari 141 Negara, (Schwab, 2019). Selain itu, terdapat juga beberapa hasil penelitian yang melaporkan rendahanya hasil belajar matematika di Indonesia seperti (Amir & Kurniawan, 2020;Sukardjo & Salam, 2020;Yahya & Bakri, 2020;Astuti et al, 2020;Fitrianti et al, 2020;Rahayu & Agustika, 2020).…”

Validity and Practicality of Online Learner Worksheets Based on Students' Mathematical Problem Solving Ability

“…Mathematical problem solving ability is one of the important competencies that students must have for the following reasons; 1) Preparing students to face problems in the real world: Mathematical problem solving skills will help students in dealing with problems that may be faced in everyday life such as financial, technological, and other problems (English, 2010); 2) Enhance creativity and innovation: Mathematical problem solving skills will help students to think creatively and find innovative solutions to problems (Santi et al, 2019); 3) Improve critical thinking skills: Mathematical problem solving skills will help students to think critically and evaluate various solution options (Susanti & Hartono, 2019); 4) Improve math learning outcomes: Mathematical problem solving skills will help students in improving math learning outcomes because students can understand math concepts better and apply them in problem solving (Rahayu & Agustika, 2020); 5) Support STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) learning: Mathematical problem solving skills are the foundation of STEM learning as it enables students to think logically and analytically in solving problems (Milaturrahmah et al, 2017).…”

Application of The Make A Match Model to Improve The Learning Outcomes of Class II Students in Elementary Schools

“…The learning model is one of the determinants of student learning outcomes and aims to improve the quality of the learning process effectively and optimally [10]. The cooperative learning model is a learning strategy where students work in groups collaboratively [11]. One learning model that can overcome the problem of low learning outcomes is implementing the Make a Match-type cooperative learning model.…”
