Implementation of Problem Based Learning Model in Improving Learning Outcomes Mathematics Fourth Grade Elementary School Students

Abstract

The mathematics learning outcomes of students in elementary schools are still not optimal, especially in terms of understanding concepts and problem solving. This study aims to determine the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model in improving the mathematics learning outcomes of grade IV elementary school students. This research was conducted at SDN Tolonggeru in the 2023/2024 academic year. The subjects of the study were 31 grade IV students. The method used was quantitative, with a classroom action research (CAR) approach using data collection techniques through planning, implementation, observation, and evaluation. The results of the study showed that the application of the PBL learning model was able to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of elementary school students. Students were seen to be more active in the learning process and were able to work together in solving the given mathematics problems. Thus, the implementation of the PBL model is considered effective in improving mathematics learning outcomes at the elementary school level. This study is expected to be a reference for educators in choosing the appropriate learning approach to improve the quality of mathematics learning.
