The Influence of Problem-based Learning with the STEM using Mobile Learning Toward Problem Solving Physics Ability and Self-directed Learning Student in Dynamic Electricity Subject Matter

The application of a learning model can affect students’ ability to solve problems, independence, and student learning interactions. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning model through the STEM approach with mobile learning on problemsolving skills, independence and student interaction in class XII student learning at SMA Negeri 3 Balaesang. The research method is quasi-experimental with a population of all students in class XII and a sample of 57 students, 29 students in the experimental class and 28 students in the control class. The research instrument was written test, questionnaire, observation sheet and documentation. Data on the ability to solve physics problems, independent learning questionnaires, and problem-solving interactions and student learning independence using the SPSS software application with a significance value of 0.05. the results showed that students can: 1) solve problems; 2) have independence; and 3) interacting between problem solving skills and independence in solving physics problems. The conclusion is that there are: 1) a significant effect of the application of problem-based learning on solving skills; 2) a significant effect of the application of problem-based learning on students learning independence; and 3) there is a significant interaction between problem-solving skills and student learning independence

The Relation Between Metacognitive Ability with Science Process Skills on Grade 8th Students in MTs Negeri 3 Parigi

This study aims to determine the relations between metacognitive to science process skills on grade VIII students MTs Negeri 3 Parigi. This research is descriptive, the approach used is a quantitative approach, manifested in the form of numbers analyzed by statistics and the results are described. The population is students of MTs Negeri 3 Parigi Academic Year 2017-2018 with a population of three classes, with a sample of 30 students. The instrument used is a metacognitive questionnaire consisting of 50 questions and an essay about science process skills 6 questions test. The result of the prerequisite test of the research result is all metacognitive indicators of normal and linear distributed and based on the regression feasibility test show that all data is feasible for regression test. The result of the regression test and test of determination to obtain a value which is not significant. Based on the results of the research analysis it can be concluded that the relationship of each metacognitive indicator to science process skills was not significant even there were metacognitive indicators that reverse direction significantly. The magnitude of the relationship of each metacognitive indicator with science process skills maximum 15.3%. &nbsp
