Sigit Lusnanto. THE APPLICATION OF PROBLEM BASED LEARNING IN IMPROVING SOCIAL SCIENCE LEARNING ABOUT SOCIAL PROBLEM FOR THE FOURTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SDN 1 PEJAGOAN IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2014/2015. Thesis, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Sebelas Maret University of Surakarta. May 2015.

The objectives for this research are (1) to describe the steps of the application of Problem Based Learning model to improve social science learning about social problem for the fourth grade students of SDN 1 Pejagoan, (2) to describe the improvement of social science learning about social problem by using Problem Based Learning model for the fourth grade students of SDN 1 Pejagoan, and (3) to describe problems and solutions in the application of Problem Based Learning model in improving social science learning about social problem for the fourth grade students of SDN 1 Pejagoan.

This research is collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR). This research implemented within three cycles and each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Subjects of this research were 32 students in the fourth grade of SDN 1 Pejagoan. Sources of data were derived from students, classmates, teachers, and documents. Techniques of collecting data were test, interview, observation, and document. Validity of data used triangulation of technique and sources. Data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative data, namely data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusion or verification.

The results of this research show that (1) the steps of Problem Based Learning model can improve social science learning outcomes about social problem for the fourth grade students of SDN 1 Pejagoan if implemented by appropriate steps, namely: (a) problem orientation, (b) study organization, (c) guidance in individual or team, (d) presenting result or discussion, and (e) analyzing and evaluating of problem solving process; (2) the application of Problem Based Learning model can improve social science learning outcomes for the fourth grade students of SDN 1 Pejagoan. It was proved by the increase of learning outcomes in each cycles. Passing grade percentage of students result in the first cycle was 60.93%, in the second cycle was 75.56%, and in the third cycles was 90.62%; and (3) the problems found in the application of Problem Based Learning model, namely: (a) the teacher did not ask the students to be discipline, (b) the teacher lack in motivating the students, (c) the teacher did not lead students, (d) the students were passive in discussion, (e) the students were passive in question and answer, and (f) the students did not concern in teacher’s explanation. Solutions to solve these problems, namely: (a) the teacher ask the students to be discipline, (b) the teacher have to motivate the students to study, (c) the teacher should be more active in leading students’ team work, (d) the teacher provides tasks for team discussion, (e) the teacher asks students to reveal their opinion, and (f) the teacher involves students in material discussion.
