STUDY ON APPLICATION OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING TO INCREASE STUDENT’S LEARNING OUTCOME AT DATABASE LESSON IN VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

Purpose of Study: In the process of learning in vocational high school, the common problem happens today is low student learning outcomes. Predictably it is caused by several things, one of them is the learning model that is not in accordance with the characteristics of the subjects. One of the learning models in accordance with the database subject and can improve student learning outcomes is a problem-based learning model. The purpose of this research is to know about: (1) how far the utilization of learning model based on problem in database subject; (2) how the procedure of implementing the problem based learning model in the database lesson; and (3) how the influence of problem-based learning on student learning outcomes in database subjects. Methodology: Based on the problem as described above, problems can be formulated as follows: (1) how far the use of learning models problem based learning in database subjects?; (2) how is the procedure of implementing the problem-based learning model in database subjects?; And (3) What is the effect of problem-based learning on student learning outcomes in database subjects? Results: Based on the literature review, the following conclusions are obtained: (1) problem-based learning model can be utilized for database subjects because most of the subject material is practical; (2) the procedure of implementing the problem based learning model on the database subject is started from orient student on the database operation problem, organizing the students to learn to operate the database software, guiding individual and group investigation to completing database operation, developing and presenting the results then evaluate the problem solving process on the operation of database software; (3) problem-based learning model can improve learning outcomes in database subjects. Implications/Applications: Problem Based Learning model, if applied to database subjects, can improve learning outcomes in database subjects.
