Improving students’ discipline and learning outcomes using problem-based learning model

Abstract

Discipline is one of the keys to achieving success, especially for a student. If students have discipline in learning, students will achieve good learning outcomes. Along with the times, technological advances have resulted in many students who do not have the discipline to learn. Therefore, this study aims to determine the improvement of discipline and student learning outcomes in class VII.5 SMP Negeri 2 Dobo by using a problem-based learning model, which consists of the stages: observing, action, observation, presentation, and evaluation. Data were taken through direct observation, disciplinary questionnaires, and learning outcomes knowledge tests. The data analysis technique used descriptive qualitative and quantitative data. The results showed that discipline and learning outcomes can be improved by using a problem-based learning model. This increase can be seen from the test results which show that in the pre-cycle students have a low level of learning discipline of 6.67%, then increase to 80% in the second cycle, and in the pre-cycle, the student's learning success is low at 46.67% increasing to 96.67% in cycle II.
