The Effect of Implementing Problem Based Learning on the Result of Students’ Learning at School
Abstract
After natural disasters, such as earthquakes, the community and schools’ conditions were
uncontrolled and unconducive. Students could not carry out the learning process as before. Anxiety and fear
came to students when in school. This study explained about the implementation of problem based learning
on students at a shelter school after earthquake and the effect towards their learning outcomes. This study
aimed to know the effect of problem-based learning on students’ learning outcomes after an earthquake
happened. Problem based learning brought students closer to the problematic context. This research
compared the effect of problem based learning as well as the conventional teaching on 2different groups from
different emergency schools. The total number of the subject research was 120 students. The results of the
study showed a positive influence on students’ learning outcomes. In the learning process of problem based
learning, students were brought closer to real problems in their environment and fostered a sense of
confidence.
