THE EFFECT OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING MODEL ON LEARNING OUTCOMES IN STATIC FLUID TOPIC FOR CLASS XI AT SMA N 3 MEDAN ACADEMIC YEAR 2012/2013

Abstract

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to know  the effect of  problem based learning model on learning outcomes in static fluid topic for class XI at SMA N 3 Medan Academic Year 2012/2013. The research method was quasi experimental. The population were all students at class XI semester II consist of 10 classes. The sample of this research conduct two classes and consist of 84 students, here class XI₃ as experiment class and class XI₁ control class and define by random cluster sampling. The result that were obtained: post-test mean value of the experimental class was 75.24 and 67.37 was the mean value for control class. Standard deviation for two classes were 7.30 and 6.32. Normality of the test result form the both samples was normal and homogeneous, the testing criterion was accepted H₀ if -2.01 < t < 2.01 and refuse H₀ in other condition. Here, H₀ was rejected because t is 5.14 and H_a was accepted. Learning activity of student as long as using problem based learning model increased, at the first meeting 55.03% and the second meeting 73.65%. The increasing percentage  of learning activity is 33. 8 %, and the increasing percentage of learning outcomes is 11.7 %. So can be concluded that there were any effects of Problem Based Learning Model to the learning outcomes of students in Static Fluid Topic for Class XI at SMA N3 Medan.
