THE INFLUENCE OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING ON THE ABILITY TO COMPLETE STORY QUESTIONS IN GRADE V MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH MIMA AL HUDA

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the problem-based learning model on the ability to solve math story problems in the fifth grade of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Mima Al Huda in the 2020/2021 school year. This study uses research, the type of Quasi Experimental Design type one group Pretest-Posttest Design. The subjects of this study were all fifth-grade students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Mima Al Huda. The data collection technique used was a written math test in the form of a description of 5 items that had met the validity. The hypothesis test in this study used a paired sample t-test. Before testing the hypothesis, the data obtained were tested for normality and homogeneity of the data. Based on the calculation of hypothesis testing with t test, it is obtained that tcount is -12,162 while ttable is 2,060 at a significance level of 5% with df 25. So that tcount -12,162 > 2,060 it can be stated that Ha is accepted and H₀ is rejected, which means there are differences in the ability to solve math story problems between before and after receiving the problem-based learning model treatment. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the problem-based learning model has an effect on the ability to solve math story problems for the fifth-grade elementary school students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Mima Al Huda.
