Problem-Based Learning Model for Increase Cooperation on Science Lesson Content for Class V Students

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low cooperative ability of Class V students. The purpose of this study was to improve the cooperative ability of Class V students in science class through the problem-based learning model. The research type used in this study is collaborative action research in the classroom (PTKK) with Kemmis and Mc Taggart's model in two cycles with each cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflecion. The subjects of the study were 26 class V participants. This research was conducted during the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. Data collection was done through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis techniques used were qualitative and quantitative. The results of this study show that the problem-based learning model can improve the cooperation skills in science classrooms of grade V students. This can be seen from the students' collaboration skills that improved from the pre-cycle stage to cycle 2. The average collaboration skills of students in the pre-cycle stage are 47.5%, 63.75% in cycle 1, and 78.75% in cycle II.
