The Use of Problem-Based Learning Model to Improve Mathematics Learning Outcomes for Fifth Grade Students at SDN Andolia

Abstract

The background of this research is the low learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN Andolia in mathematics. The aim of this research is to improve the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN Andolia in mathematics using the problem-based learning model. The type of research used is classroom action research with the subjects being 34 fifth-grade students of SDN Andolia. Data were collected using observation, tests, and documentation methods, and then analyzed using quantitative methods. The research results showed that the average score of students in the pre-cycle was 61.47. The classical completeness in the pre-cycle was 23.52%, which falls into the low category. In cycle 1, the average score obtained by students was 75.58. The classical completeness in cycle 1 was 52.94%, which falls into the moderate category. In cycle 2, the average score obtained was 88.23. The classical completeness in cycle 2 was 94.11%, which falls into the very high category. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the use of the problem-based learning model can improve the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN Andolia in mathematics.
