The Effectiveness of the Wordwall Media-Assisted Problem Based Learning Model on the Ability to Solve Problems in Science and Technology

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model assisted by Wordwall media on the problem-solving ability and learning outcomes of students in science subjects in class V elementary school. Using a quantitative experimental design, the study involved two groups: experimental (Wordwall-assisted PBL) and control (media-free PBL). Data were collected through pre-test and post-test, with the results of the N-Gain analysis showing that the experimental group had an average effectiveness of 78.4% (effective category) compared to the control group’s 68.9% (moderately effective category). The T-Test showed significant differences between the two groups, supporting the superiority of Wordwall media use. This research confirms that Wordwall-assisted PBL not only improves problem-solving skills but also makes the learning process more engaging and interactive.
