IMPLEMENTATION OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING IN VLP SOFTWARE ASSISTED VOLUNTE PHYSICS LEARNING ON STUDENTS’ PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian eksperimen yang bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa dalam menerapkan model pembelajaran problem based learning berbantuan software VLP dan ingin mengetahui respon siswa terhadap pembelajaran fisika terintegrasi gunung api. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kuantitatif Quasi Eksperimen dengan desain Post-test Only Design. Subjek penelitian yang digunakan 65 siswa kelas XI MIPA 1 dan XI MIPA 2 di SMA Tamansiswa Kota Mojokerto. Instrumen pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah lembar angket respon siswa dan lembar tes kemampuan pemecahan masalah. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa adanya peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan siswa setelah menerapkan pembelajaran problem based learning berbantuan software VLP pada pembelajaran fisika terintegrasi gunung api. Respon siswa yang diperoleh dari pembelajaran fisika terintegrasi gunung api yaitu siswa lebih aktif dan bersemangat dalam menggunakan software VLP untuk memecahkan suatu masalah gunung api, keinginan bertanya siswa meningkat, serta aktif berdiskusi dengan kelompok dalam penyelesaian masalah mitigasi bencana gunung api. Simpulan pada penelitian yaitu dengan menerapkan pembelajaran problem based learning pada pembelajaran fisika berbantuan software simulasi VLP dapat meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah peserta didik dan memberikan respon yang baik dalam pembelajaran

This study is an experimental study that aims to analyze students’ problem solving abilities in appyling the problem based learning (PBL) learnig model assisted by VLP software and wants to know the student’s response to the integrated physics learning of volcanoes. The research method uses Quasi Experiment quantitative research with Post-test Only Design. The reasearch subjects used were 65 students of class XI MIPA 1 and XI MIPA 2 at SMA Tamansiswa Mojokerto City. The data collection instruments used were students response questionnaire sheets and problem-solving ability test sheets. The result showed that there was an increase in students’ problem solving abilities after applying VLP software assisted problem based learning in volcano integrated physics learning. The student responses obtained from the integrated volcano physics learning are that students are more active and enthusiastic in using VLP software for training solve a volcanic problem, students’ desire to ask questions increases, and they are active discuss with groups in solving volcanic disaster mitigation problems. The conclusion of the research is that by applying problem based learning to physics learning assisted by VLP simulation software, it can improve students’ problem solving abilities and provide good responses in learning.
