The Influence Of The Problem Based Learning Model With Differentiated Learning On Problem Solving Ability

This research aims to compare students' problem-solving abilities in two learning paradigms: one that uses the problem-based learning approach and another that uses standard teaching without differential learning. In 2023–2024, this study was carried out at Budi Agung Medan Private High School. Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design quasi-experimental methodology was employed in this study. The six classes that made up class XI of MIA Budi Agung Medan Private High School were the study's population. The research sample consisted of two XI MIA classes: an experimental class and a control class. According to the study's findings, students who participated in diversified learning had an average score of 71.02 for problem solving skills, compared to 62.73 for students who participated in conventional learning without difference learning. The average difference in problem-solving abilities scores between the control and experimental groups of students was 8.29 points. It was discovered from the hypothesis test results that tcount > ttable, or 2.68 > 1.725. Students' problem-solving abilities are better enhanced when they utilize the problem-based learning model in combination with differentiated learning as opposed to when they rely only on the conventional learning strategy without differentiation. This suggests that Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected.
