Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of Problem Based Learning model with Concept Map on the problem solving skill in socieal science learning of the fourth grade students SD Negeri 189 Pekanbaru. The type of research used was pre-experimental with a pretest-postest one-group design. The dependent variable in this research was problem solving ability in social science learning and the independent variable was problem based learning model with concept map. The subjects of the study were the fourth grade of SD Negeri 189 Pekanbaru, amounted to 36 students. The data collecting techniques in this research was test. Data analysis technique used descriptive statistical analysis with the assistance of SPSS program for windows 23. The result showed that problem based learning model with concept map had an effect on problem solving skill in social science learning. Students’ average pre-test score was 39.09 which increased in the post-test score of 62.15. Based on t-test result, it showed that tcalculate value was 43.658 ≥ ttable -2.030 and significance value of 0.000 < 0.005.
