The effectiveness of the problem based learning model on the higher order mathematical thinking skills of fifth grade elementary school students / Citra Wahyu Tiantoro
Abstrak
The purpose of the study was to determine the implementation of the problem-based learning (PBL) model analyze the differences in students mathematical high-level thinking skills before and after the application of PBL and assess the effectiveness of the PBL model on the mathematical high-level thinking skills of grade V elementary school students. The method used in this study is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group design. The data collection techniques used are observation tests and documentation. The analysis of test data used in the study was descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis including prerequisite test SPSS version 25 application-assisted t-test and effect size test from Cohen s d. The results of observation of the implementation of PBL model learning during three meetings obtained an overall percentage of 97.75% where the results showed that learning was carried out very well. Then the average pretest score between the experimental class and the control class was almost the same which showed that the students initial ability was the same in both classes. However based on the results of the posttest it was found that the increase in mathematical high-level thinking skills was higher in the experimental class than in the control class with the largest increase in the experimental class on the C5 (evaluation) indicator. The results of the paired test of the t-test sample were obtained with a sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.00 lt 0.05 then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted which means that there is a difference in the mathematical high-level thinking skills of fifth grade students before and after the application of the PBL model. Furthermore the results of the independent test of the t-test sample were obtained with a sig value. (2-tailed) of 0.04 lt 0.05 then H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Finally the results of the effect size test from Cohen s d showed a result of 0.889 which means that the PBL model has a great and significant influence in improving the mathematical high-level thinking skills of fifth grade elementary school students.
