THE EFFECT OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING MODEL TOWARDS STUDENT’ S LEARNING OUTCOME IN DYNAMIC ELECTRICITY SUBJECT MATTER AT SMA NEGERI 1 PANYABUNGAN ACADEMIC YEAR 2016/2017

This study aims to analyze the effect of problem based learning model toward
student’s learning outcome about student problem solving skills. The type of this
research was quasi experimental, with experiment class used problem based
learning and control class used conventional learning. The population was all of
the tenth class of SMA Negeri 1 Panyabungan academic year 2016/1017 which
consist of six classes. Sample was taken with a simple random sampling
technique. The data in problem solving skill was collected by essay tests. Data
were analyzed with t test. The pretest value in experiment class 30.87 and the
posttest value 85.65 with the gain 0.7 which is included as a medium category.
And in the control class had the pretest value 17.44 and the posttest value 74.28
with the gain 0.6 which is included in medium category. Hypothesis result of
pretest tcount < ttable = 1.80 < 1.99, both of class have the same initial problem
solving skills. Hypothesis result of posttest tcount > ttable = 2.50 < 1.66. Proved from
hypothesis result in experiment class was higher than control class or there was
significant difference of post test score. The result of the study showed that there
was effect of problem based learning model toward student’s outcome about
student problem solving skill in experiment class or given by problem based
learning model.
