Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the quality of the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning Model with the Android-based Learning App Media Application on the high-level thinking skills of fifth-grade students and to obtain a description of the fifth-grade students' high-level thinking skills about the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning Model with the Android Perbasi App learning media in a review of student motivation. This research used a mixed methodology. Using quantitative analysis, qualitative and quantitative data are analyzed. The subjects of this study were 27 fifth-grade students from SDN Kalicari 01 in Semarang. Observation, interviews, and documentation are methods for collecting qualitative data. The technique for collecting quantitative data is a questionnaire with a Likert scale. This study demonstrates that learning tools and assessment instruments utilizing problem-based learning models supported by Android-based learning application media are feasible. Problem-based learning model learning tools aided by Android-based learning app media and research instruments have met the criteria for qualification as practical learning tools. The problem-based learning model aided by Android-based learning app media has a positive effect on increasing students' higher-order thinking skills and learning motivation, with results in the excellent category, specifically at the second meeting with a percentage score of 88.64 and at the third meeting with a percentage value of 91.36.
