Implementation Of STMCpE Textbooks On Students’ Problem Solving Skill

Abstract

Abstract Problem solving is a higher level of skill than conceptual understanding. Problem solving skills require a logical process in solving a problem. Problem solving is a higher level of skill than the mastery of concepts that requires a logical process in solving a problem. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of STMCpE textbook implementation on students’ problem solving skills. This research is a quasi-experimental design with nonequivalent control group design. Data collection was obtained from the results of problem solving skills tests conducted in the experimental class and the control class before and after learning. Pretest is used as initial data of student ability and posttest data is used as data to test the effect of learning. Test the effect of learning using ANCOVA. The result showed that the problem solving skills of students who studied with STMCPE textbooks was higher than students with conventional learning with a significance value of 0.000 <0.050. The percentage of effect of the application of the STMCpE textbook was 50.4%. This shows that the problem solving skills of students who learn with STMCpE textbooks are better than students who study using school textbooks.
