The Influence of the Problem Based Learning Model on Students' Problem

This research aims to determine the effect of the problem based learning model on the ability to solve problems at the Senior High School (SMA) level. This research was carried out quantitatively in the form of conventional classes and experimental classes through Pre test - Post test. The population of this study were students of SMA Negeri 1 Bengkulu City. The samples used in this research were students of SMA Negeri 1 Bengkulu City class X Science 1 using an experimental class consisting of 27 students and Class X Science 2 using a control class consisting of 27 students. From the data obtained from the Pre test - Post test results, analysis was carried out using the t-test. The results of the Pre test t count = 0.477 and the Post test t count = 3.781 with a significance level of 5% of . So the post test tcount=3.781 > ttable=1.71. During the post test, H0 was rejected, so it was concluded that the problem based learning model in the experimental class had a significant effect compared to the lecturing method in the control class.
