The Implementation of Problem-Based Learning to Improve Science Learning Outcomes of Students at SMPN 12 Konawe Selatan

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research was motivated by the low scores in science subjects, which impacted students' learning outcomes. The purpose of this research is to improve science learning outcomes. The study employed the Problem Based Learning model conducted over three cycles. Data collection techniques included tests and non-tests, using data collection tools such as observation sheets for student activities, teacher activities, and final tests for each cycle. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. Based on the research findings and data analysis, it was shown that there was an improvement in students' learning outcomes. The percentage of learning completeness in Cycle I was 72.00%, which increased to 75.00% in Cycle II and 82.00% in Cycle III. This research proves that the Problem Based Learning model can improve the science learning outcomes of Class VII E students at SMP Negeri 12 Konawe Selatan.
