The data obtained are then tested differently using the independent sample t-test. The results showed that the two research classes experienced positive changes regarding student learning outcomes. In the experimental class the problem-based learning model shows learning outcomes that are better than class controls. Calculation of the independent sample t-test posttest shows that students with Sig. (2-tailed) 0.019, where 0.019 <0.05 means that there is a significant difference. The existence of significant differences indicates that there is an influence of problem-based learning models on student learning outcomes.
