Impelementasi Model Pembelajaran Pemecahan Masalah untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Mahasiswa pada Materi Kinematika Partikel

Abstract

The use of learning media today not only relies on objects found in everyday life but also utilizes technology and information, one of which is the Problem Solving Learning model (Polya). This model is a learning strategy that emphasizes critical and systematic thinking skills to solve problems, particularly in the fields of science and physics. The main advantage of Problem Solving Learning is its ability to develop higher-order thinking skills in students. This study aims to specifically examine how the implementation of the problem-solving learning model can improve student learning outcomes in particle kinematics material.The research method used is a literature review, involving the process of collecting, reading, and evaluating various research literatures related to the application of the Problem Solving Learning model. The data analyzed consists of previous research findings conducted by other researchers. The results of the literature review show that the problem-solving learning model consistently has a positive impact on improving students’ learning outcomes in particle kinematics. The implementation of this model helps students gain a deeper understanding of concepts, enhances critical thinking skills, and develops systematic problem-solving strategies. Moreover, it encourages active student engagement in the learning process.Therefore, it can be concluded that the problem-solving learning model is highly relevant and effective for use in physics learning, especially in particle kinematics. This model provides positive cognitive and affective impacts on students.
