Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of Game-Based Learning (GBL), specifically the Rabbit Population Dynamic (RPD) model, on high school students’ problem-solving skills in ecology. The research employs a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. A class of students participated in the study, taking pre-tests and post-tests to measure problem-solving skills. The findings show a significant improvement across all indicators of problem-solving skills, with an average pre-test score of 4.91 and a post-test score of 25.31. The greatest improvement was observed in the post-test results, which showed that game-based learning provided a contextual learning experience that improved students’ problem-solving skills. The GBL RPD approach has proven to be effective in creating an interactive learning environment, allowing students to engage directly in the simulation of real-world problems and thus strengthen their ability to comprehensively analyze and solve ecological problems. This study concludes that GBL RPD is an effective learning method to improve students’ problem-solving skills in the field of ecology.
