Abstract

Student learning outcomes are the abilities which produced by students after carrying out learning activities. Through the implementation of problem-solving method, it is hoped to boost active learning and problem-solving communication. This study aims to improve student learning outcomes on environmental pollution material and to find out problem-solving method implementation for Class X at SMAN 1 Tuntang. The study involved 27 students of class X. It used the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with 2 cycles which have 4 stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The instruments included tests, observation sheets, interview sheets and documentation. Data analysis techniques use the completeness formula of Student Learning Outcomes (SLO), N-gain, and problem-solving method implementation. The results showed that student learning outcomes had increased as seen in the pre-test average score in cycle I of 68.89, rising to 85.93 in the post-test, achieving a SLO of 96%. In Cycle II, the pre-test average was 65.19 and post-test average value of 85.93 has succeeded in achieving a SLO of 100%. The implementation of learning using the problem-solving method in the first cycle was 97% (very good) and the second cycle was 100% (very good). N-gain was 0.56 in the first cycle and 0.60 in the second, both considered moderate. The conclusion is that using problem solving techniques to learn about environmental pollution for class X SMAN 1 Tuntang through laboratory exercises the sub chapter on water pollution can enhance student learning outcomes. This method of teaching is rated as being of very high quality.
