Abstract

This research aimed to describe the students problem solving skills on dynamic fluid topic after applied problem based learning model. The pre experimental research adopted one group pre-test post-test design applied to 106 student at 11^th grade in SMAN 1 Jember. This research use three class (XI MIA 1, XI MIA 2, and XI MIA 3) totaling 106 students. Before applying the problem based learning model, student were given a pre-test to measure the initial condition of the students, Pre-test given in the form of problem-solving problems. Then apply the problem learning model on the dynamic fluid material. After applying the learning model, the student was given a post-test in the form of problem solving problem. The data obtained were analyzed using paired t-test, n-gain, and ANAVA. The results showed that learning was done with good category. Problem solving skills in all three classes experienced consistent and significant improvement at α = 5% and n-gain for each category indicator. Positive response is shown by all students in all three classes to the learning model based on the problem that has been implemented.
