PENERAPAN MODEL PROBLEM BASED LEARNING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA SISWA KELAS VIII1 SMPN 8 PEKANBARU

Abstract

Abstract : This research is a class action research that aims to improve the learning process and to increase the mathematics learning results of the students by applying Problem Based Learning. The subject of this research is the students of class  SMPN 8 Pekanbaru at the second semester of  2017/2018 academic year which total number of participants are 38 students, consists of 19 male students and 19 female students with heterogeneous ability. This research has two cycles. Each cycle has 3 meetings and 1 quiz. The data collecting instruments was observation sheet (learning process) and the students' worksheet. The data were analized by narrative descriptive and statistical descriptive analysis. The data were obtained from the observation sheets of teacher and students activities, it showed  that the learning process has improved after the model being implemented. From the data of the student’s evaluation test, it showed that the number of students who reach the Minimal Standard of Achievement  increased from the basic score to the Quiz I, from Quiz I to Quiz II. Each score increase 18,4 % where 23,7% to 42, 1% and 42,1 % to 60,5%. In conclusion, the implementation of discovery learning model can improve the learning process and increase the mathematics learning result of the students of grade  SMPN 8 Pekanbaru at the second semester of  2017/2018 academic years  on probability materials.
