AbstractThe research conducted aims to analyze how the economic learning model that has been applied by the teacher and its influence on students' rational thinking skills. Furthermore, how the influence of the learning model emphasizes solving problems with Polya's version of students' rational thinking skills, because previously this model was never used in economic learning. This research was conducted in one of the private high schools in Panyipatan sub-district, namely Abdul Kadir High School. The research method used is quantitative method with quasi-experimental design of pre-test and post-test, the class chosen is class X semester 2 with the subject of inflation. The results of the research and hypothesis testing show that there are significant differences in students' rational thinking abilities taught through the Polya problem solving learning model with students taught with conventional models. Based on the results of the post-test it can be seen that there are differences in mean learning outcomes, where the experimental class has an average value of 74.26, and control class 41.47. This difference is also seen from the results of the two index gain index, where the control class shows a gain index of 0.26 or <0.30 with low criteria. While the experimental class has a gain index of 0.66 with the criteria being. In addition to the gain index, differences in students' rational thinking skills are also seen from the results of different test results (t), from the above calculation, it is obtained thitung = 8.121 while t table = 2.131. So that if it is included in the hypothesis formula, t count> t table, H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Based on these results it can be concluded that the ability to think rationally by using the Polya version of problem solving learning model is better or increased than conventional learning models that have been applied in every economic learning, especially in inflation material.Keywords: Polya's version of problem solving learning model, economics, rational thinking.AbstrakPenelitian yang dilakukan bertujuan untuk menganalisis bagaimana model pembelajaran ekonomi yang selama ini diterapkan oleh guru serta pengaruhnya terhadap kemampuan berpikir rasional peserta didik.
