PENERAPAN METODE PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PRESTASI BELAJAR MATEMATIKA SISWA

This study is a Classroom Action Research about the application of Problem Based Learning method to increase students’ mathematic learning achievement in Dimension subject three XI class of SMK 1 Kawung Surabaya. This study consists of two cycles i.e. cycle I and cycle II. Each cycle had four steps that consist of plan, action, observation, and reflection. The data that is collected are data of individual and classical minimum standard from pre test and post test and also observation data in students’ response of each cycle. Subject of this study is students XI class of SMK 1 Kawung Surabaya academic year 2012-2013 with 38 student. The purpose of this study is to know the increasing of students’ mathematic learning achievement in Dimension Three subject, and to know the students’ response in the learning that used Problem-Based Learning method. Data analysis technique that is used is descriptive analysis i.e. analysis model by comparing the average of its percentage.
