Each cycle consists of two meetings. Data collection techniques are carried out through observation and learning achievement tests.
The results of the study showed an increase in learning. The increase that occurred was in 1) learning planning using the Problem Based Learning model, in cycle I got a score of 73.75 in the good category while the preparation of lesson plans in cycle II obtained an assessment result of 88.75 in the good category, 2) implementation of learning using the model Problem Based Learning in cycle I obtained a score of 75.2 in the sufficient category, while the implementation of learning in cycle II obtained a value of 89.95 in the good category, 3) assessment of learning using the Problem Based Learning model in cycle I obtained an average of 75.1 in the category complete while in cycle II an average score of 83.7 was obtained in the complete category, (4) learning activities as a whole when viewed from the results of the assessment of the preparation of learning plans, implementation of learning, and learning assessments of cycle II were better than pre-cycle I.
