This study aims to investigate the effect of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics-Project Based Learning (STEM-PjBL) and discovery learning on students' problem-solving abilities. The research is a Quasi-Experiment with a Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The participants involved are 53 students of class X from a high school in Malang, where 28 students studied with STEM-PjBL, and 25 students studied with discovery learning. This research was conducted on the subject of impulse and momentum. In this analysis, researchers have developed problem-solving tools with a particular field approach to impulse and momentum topics in order to obtain an instrument with a reliability of  0.81. This instrument collects student problem-solving data before and after learning both in the experimental class and in the comparison class. Problem-solving skills data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The results showed a significant difference in the scores of students' problem-solving abilities in the experimental class and the comparison class (p<0.05). The problem-solving ability in the experimental class (Md=78.74) was higher than the comparison class (Md=70.00). In STEM-PjBL learning, students are better trained and challenged to solve problems in everyday life. Compared to the comparison class, learning in the experimental class is more able to accommodate students' ideas and make students more interested in learning. In conclusion, STEM-PjBL has a significant positive effect on improving students' problem-solving abilities rather than discovery learning.

High Order Thinking

This study is based on the problems that occur in IPS learning in class VIII-D students of SMPN 5 Bandung that is teacher-centered in the classroom and the ability of students to think high-order are still low. The alternative problem solving chosen is by applying the Means Ends Analysis (MEA) learning model. Based on the background, the formulation of this study problem is how the planning, implementation, implementation results and what are the obstacles of the learning model Means Ends Analysis in attempt to improve the ability of high-order thinking. Reviewing the problems to be studied in relation to the learning process, the author chose Classroom Action Research (PTK) with Kemmis and Taggart cycle model in 3 cycles with 12 actions. Implementation of learning by using learning model Means Ends Analysis in improving the ability of students high-order thinking are said to succeed. The improvement of high-order thinking ability of students can be seen from the development of aspects that becomeindicators of high-order thinking. All aspects of this indicator have evolved from cycle 1 to cycle 3, from which initially the quality is less, it is sufficient to improve. In conclusion, the implementation of learning model Means Ends Analysis can improve the ability of high-order thinking of students in IPS learning. This is supported by the achievement of all indicators in analyzing and evaluating. Both are in good categories and indicators to create are in enough category.

Located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, Indonesia is endangered by natural disasters. Through the changing of learning activity in a proper way by the application of STEM Project-Based Learning, future generations are expected to develop the knowledge and thinking skill to solve the problem. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate implementing STEM Project-Based Learning on student's Problem-Solving Skills. This research used a Pre-Experiment method with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest design and essay questions as data collection tools. In this research, 30 7th-grade students at one school in Bandung, Indonesia, were chosen as the participants. The data analysis showed significant improvement between student's Problem-Solving skills pretest and post-test (N-Gain=0.73). In addition, Idea-Finding is the most significant improvement during the Fact-Finding on the lowest. Based on the result, STEM Project-Based Learning is recommended to improve students' Problem-Solving Skills since they can use their integrated knowledge to solve a real-world problem.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keefektifan pembelajaran matematika dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran berbasis proyek dan model pembelajaran berbasis masalah, dan perbandingan keefektifan pembelajaran berbasis proyek dengan pembelajaran berbasis masalah ditinjau dari sikap percaya diri, pencapaian belajar matematika, dan keterampilan pemecahan masalah. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen semu dengan desain kelompok pretes-postes beracak. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 9 Yogyakarta. Sampel penelitian sebanyak dua kelas yang dipilih secara acak. Data hasi penelitian dianalisis dengan MANOVA, dan untuk mengetahui keefektifan pembelajaran berbasis proyek dan pembelajaran berbasis masalah menggunakan uji one sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model pembelajaran berbasis proyek efektif ditinjau dari sikap percaya diri dan keterampilan pemecahan masalah namun tidak efektif ditinjau dari pencapaian belajar matematika; model pembelajaran berbasis masalah efektif ditinjau dari sikap percaya diri, pencapaian belajar matematika, dan keterampilan pemecahan masalah; dan pembelajaran berbasis masalah lebih efektif dari pembelajaran berbasis proyek ditinjau dari pencapaian belajar matematika. The comparison of effectiveness of project-based learning and problem-based learning in terms of achievement of student’s learning objectives AbstractThis study aims to describe: the effectiveness of teaching mathematics using project-based learning and problem-based learning; and the comparison in the effectiveness between project-based learning and problem-based learning in terms of the attitude of confidence, achievement of learning mathematics, and problem solving skills. This study is a quasi-experimental study employing the pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design. The research population comprised all year VIII students of SMPN 9 Yogyakarta. The sample consisted of two classes that were randomly established. The data were analysed by means of MANOVA, and to test the effectiveness of project-based learning and problem-based learning using one sample t-test. The result of this study shows that: project-based learning is effective in terms of the attitude of confidence and problem solving skills but not effective in learning based on achievement of learning mathematics; problem-based learning is effective in terms of the attitude of confidence, achievement of learning mathematics, and problem solving skills; and problem-based learning more effective than project-based learning based on achievement of learning mathematics.

High Order Thinking

This research is to apply and develop a strategy of problem-based learning to increase the ability of higher order thinking skills of senior vocational schools students. The research was done due to a fact that the quality of outputs of the senior vocational schools has not met the competency needed by the stakeholders in the field, that has made the outputs difficult to get jobs, or fail to run a private business of their own. This research is a quasi experiment applying Nonequivalent Control Group Design, done at X TKR 1 class of 38 students and X TKR 2 class of 38 students of Senior Vocational School II, Kupang, NTT Province, Indonesia. The normality and homogeneity of tests were done to obtain the test of analysis requirement. T-test was done to analyze the data obtained. The results show that: (1) the use of problem-based learning strategy is superior to the conventional study; (2) the application of problem-based learning strategies capable of improving high order thinking skills of students, which is implemented in problem solving skills, teamwork, and self-confidence better. (3) in the future, the high order thinking skills will be very important in winning the job competition, find solutions to problems in the workplace and establish good cooperation with others, so it will support the success of their careers in the future.
