IMPROVING STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES THROUGH THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROBLEM SOLVING BASED LEARNING MODELS AT SMAN 1 TALANGPADANG

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the increase in student learning outcomes after implementing the Problem Solving Learning method as well as student activities during the learning process taking place in the employment material in the construction section of SMAN 1 Talangpadang. This procedure consists of 3 stages, namely planning, implementation, and the final stage of research. The type of research used is classroom action research (PTK) in the form of a cycle. The subjects of this research were 30 class XI IPS students. Data was collected using observation, tests and documentation, while data was analyzed descriptively. The results of the research are that there is an increase in student learning outcomes through the Problem Solving learning method cycle 1 with an average value of 59.53 (35%) not yet achieving the expected learning completeness. Cycle 2 student learning outcomes were in the very good category with an average score of 76.11 (90%). This value shows that the problem solving learning model can improve student learning outcomes which are shown in cycle 2 to have exceeded classical completeness standards, so it can be used for other materials.
