THE INFLUENCE MODEL OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING ASSISTED BY MEDIA MAGAZINE LEARNING ON STUDENT CRITICAL THINKING ABILITY FOR HISTORY LEARNING

Abstract

The formulation of the problem in this research is, is there an influence of the problem-based learning model assisted by the wall magazine learning media in history subject related to the Indonesian nation responses toward imperialism and colonialism on the critical thinking ability in XI IPS 4 class of SMA Negeri 5 Tasikmalaya academic year 2019/2020. The method utilized in this study is a quasi-experimental design. The population in this study were all XI IPS classes at SMA 5 Tasikmalaya with a total of 175 students. The sample in this study was class XI IPS 4, with a total of 36 students. A purposive sampling technique took samples. This research instrument was in the form of a critical thinking test with 9 item description questions. Technical data analysis was performed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 25.0 for Windows software. The results showed that the problem-based learning model assisted by the wall magazine learning media influenced the students' critical thinking ability. This is evidenced by the average of the critical thinking ability of the experimental class using a problem-based learning model assisted by a wall magazine learning media was 80.07, while the average critical thinking ability of students who used discovery learning models was 70.45. The results of processing the hypothesis test using Mann Whitney obtained Asymp.Sig (2-tailed) 0.001 < 0.05. This showed that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. Therefore, there is the influence of the problem-based learning model assisted by the wall magazine learning media on the critical thinking ability in XI IPS 4 class of SMA Negeri 5 Tasikmalaya academic year 2019/2020.
