The Development of a Learning Activities Model to Solve Computer Problems Using the Problem-Based Learning Approach

Abstract

      This research aimed to 1) develop the learning activities model to solve the computer problems using the problem-based learning approach,  2)  to study experts’ opinions about the developed learning activities model, 3) compare pretest and posttest learning achievements, and 4) study the students’ satisfaction with learning via the developed model.  The target group included a group of 3 experts who evaluated the developed model and  a group of 27 students participated in learning activities. The statistics used were: mean, standard deviation, efficiency and paired t-test.

     The results found that 1)  the developed learning activities model had an efficiency of 82.00/80.73; 2) the experts agreed to the developed model at the most level; 3) the students showed gains in learning achievements from before learning via the developed model at the .05 level of significance, and 4) the students showed satisfaction with learning via the developed model as a whole at the most level.
