Abstract

Problem-solving skills are needed to prepare for the working world. Based on a preliminary study at SMAN 1 Banjaran, the average score of student problem-solving skills is low. This study aims to Determine the improvement of student problem-solving abilities after applied Cooperative Problem Solving (CPS) models on the topic of dynamic fluid. The research method used is a pre-experiment design with one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this study were students of class XI IPA 2 SMAN 1 Banjaran selected by purposive sampling technique amounted to 30 people. The students problem-solving ability is measured through an essay test and a supporting instrument in the form of student worksheets. The results Showed that there was an increase of in the problem-solving skills of students with <g> of 0.68 medium categories. Based on the paired sample t-test where tcount (12.24) > ttable (2.05) indicates that there is the influence of CPS models to improve students problem-solving skills. The average results of the student worksheet analysis indicate that there is an increase in student problem-solving skills at each meeting and the average value is categorized well. Thus, the CPS models can be used as an alternative learning model that can improve the problem-solving skills of the student on the topic of dynamic fluid.
