How to Teaching Effectively using Problem-Based Learning in Probability

Abstract

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) argued that problemsolving should be a focus on mathematics learning. It requires a learning model to support problem-solving ability. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness and influence of the problem-based learning model in student learning outcomes of probability. This study was a quasi-experimental research whose population of all 8th graders in SMP N 3 Bantul. The data collecting techniques were learning outcomes test of probability and instructional learning sheets. The effectiveness and influence of problem-based learning using Kolmogorov Smirnov analysis test, Lavene test, and t-test using significance 5%. The results show that three indicators of competence are in very high category. While competency indicators solve problems related to empirical probability and determine the probability complement into the high category.
