PENINGKATAN HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA DASAR MAHASISWA TEKNIK SIPIL MELALUI PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN PROBLEM BASED LEARNING (PBL)

Abstract

Mathematics is a basic science for the development of technology today because it playsan important role in various disciplines of science and improves human thought patterns. Bystudying mathematics, mathematical, logical, critical and creative thinking can be developed. InBasic Mathematics learning, the delivery of material is done through lectures and groupdiscussions so that it influences students' creativity and has an impact on student learningoutcomes. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) modelon Basic Mathematics learning outcomes, the effectiveness and the extent of the increase inBasic Mathematics learning outcomes of students in the Civil Engineering Study Program,Faculty of Engineering, Graha Nusantara University after the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in Basic Mathematics courses. The research method used is quasiexperimental with a 2x2 factorial design. The subjects of the study were 40 students of the CivilEngineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Graha Nusantara University. Based on theresults of the study, it was found that the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model has asignificant influence on the Basic Mathematics learning outcomes of students in the CivilEngineering Study Program, Faculty of Engineering, Graha Nusantara University. The learningoutcomes of the experimental group's Basic Mathematics increased by 58.15% using the PBLlearning model, while the learning outcomes of the control group's Basic Mathematics increasedby 50.76% using the conventional learning model. The results of this study also show that thePBL learning model has an effectiveness percentage of 22.39% to improve students' BasicMathematics learning outcomes. So the PBL learning model is very suitable and effective foruse in Higher Education.
