Abstract
This research is motivated by the process of learning science at MTs Darul Hikmah Pekanbaru, teachers still focus on mastering the material and rarely use learning models that require students to do problem solving that can train students^ science process skills. This study aims to determine the effect of problem-based learning model on science process skills of seventh grade MTs Pondok Pesantrren Darul Hikmah Pekanbaru on Environmental Pollution material. This research is a Quasi Experiment research with the design used Nonequivalent Control Design involving experimental class (VII I) and control class (VII J). The data were collected through essay-shaped test questions with 10 questions and observation sheets. The test data were analyzed using the Mann Whitney test formula with the help of SPSS 21 and observation sheet data using descriptive analysis. The results of hypothesis testing showed that the sig value was 0.000. The significance value is smaller than 0.05, hence based on the decision-making criteria, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. And therefore, it can be concluded that the application of the problem-based learning model affects the science process skills of seventh grade students on environmental pollution material.
Keywords: problem based learning, science process skills, environmental pollution.
