Implementation of problem based learning models in history of physics courses to promoting student learning result

Abstract

This research type is a classroom action research conducted in three cycles. Each stage of action research consists of four stages: 1) Planning, 2) Acting, 3) Observation, and 4) Reflection. The subject of this research is the sixth semester physics student of FKIP University of Bengkulu. The data used consist of qualitative data and quantitative data. Qualitative data obtained through observation, while the quantitative data obtained from tests are given to students. Data collection in this research using observation sheet instrument and test sheet. The tests in this study were processed and analyzed using the equations of average values, absorption, and percentage of complete learning and final grades of students. The success indicator of this research is the absorption, it is said to increase if the students' absorption in cycle II is better than cycle I and cycle III (DS1
