The Effect of Model Problem Based Learning of Learning Outcomes Student Course on Animal Ecology Based on Learning Styles

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect oflearning model of problem basedlearning the learning outcomes of students in the subject of animal ecology in terms of learning styles.

The research is a quasi-experimental research, with a simple factorial design 3 x 2. The population in this study were all students who take courses in animal ecology in the academic year 2016/2017. Samples of this study using two groups of samples, the experimental class students are taught by a model student pbl and control classes taught by conventional models. This research instrument using learning style questionnaire and tests. The data analysis technique consists of a description of the data, the test requirements analysis, and hypothesis testing.

The results showed that the learning outcomes of students who attend the learning model pbl higher than conventional models, the learning outcomes of students who have learning styles of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modeled pbl higher than conventional models, and there is no interaction between learning models and styles learning to student results.
