Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the effect of problem-based learning on students' problem-solving abilities. This research uses a quantitative approach and this research is designed using the method used in this study is the quasi-experiment method. The research subjects were 100 high school vocational students which were divided into two groups, of which 50 students were the experimental group. Data analysis technique used by comparing the two groups with statistics. The results of the analysis test show that there is an effect of problem-based learning on problem solving ability in the control and experimental classes with a significant level of 5% (0.000 < 0.05). This proves that there is an increase in the experimental class that has been given treatment with problem-based learning assisted on problem solving ability. Thus, it can be concluded that the problem-solving ability of students in the experimental group is higher than the control group. students who get problem-based learning are more effective and efficient in problem solving. Problem-based learning has a positive effect on students' problem-solving abilities.
