Penerapan Problem Based Learning dengan Menerapkan Teknik Windows Shopping untuk Meningkatkan Motivasi Belajar

Abstract

Law No. 20 of 2003 defines education as a conscious and planned effort to create a learning environment that enables students to develop their spiritual, personality, intelligence, morals, and skills that are useful for themselves, society, the nation, and the state. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching model that uses real-world problems as a context to teach critical thinking, problem-solving, and acquiring essential knowledge from the subject matter (Duch: Shoimin, 2014, p.30; Sudarman, 2005, p.69). PBL encourages students to learn actively and focus on applying knowledge in real situations. "Window shopping" is an activity in which students learn in groups to engage in discussions within their groups, and the results of these discussions are then shared with other groups. This means that students are not confined to their seats but are free to move around the classroom for discussions. This research was conducted in class XI-Science 4 at SMAN 2 Tanggul with 36 students, and questionnaires and surveys were used as instruments. In the first cycle, based on the observation results using a questionnaire, it was found that over 50% of the students had low learning motivation. Then, in the second cycle, the researcher applied the Window Shopping technique within the PBL syntax, and after this intervention, there was an improvement, with less than 50% of students having high learning motivation. In conclusion, implementing the Window Shopping technique within the PBL teaching model can enhance students' learning motivation.
