| Summary: | Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching approach in which real situations are used as the
mean to stimulate the development of critical thinking skills, communication skills and
problem solving abilities among students. In Malaysia, the 21st century learning (PAK21)
that was formulated in the second wave of Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013 to 2025
requires that all teachers should embrace the teaching and learning approach to ensure the
students are equipped with the correct skills and values for the future. This study aims to
investigate the differences between problem-based learning approaches and traditional
learning method in learning geometry among secondary school students in Padawan. Besides
that, the perception of acceptance on the approach towards students’ performance was also
measured. The use of quantitative research method is to make sure that the outcome of the
research can be clearly shown through objective data. The study involved sixty (60) Form
Four student of Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Padawan. The data was obtained using the
survey questionnaire that explored students’ acceptance on the approach that was used during
the intervention lesson. Pre and post test was conducted to measure the students’
performance. The data obtained were analysed using inferential statistical software packages
for Social Science Version 21.0 (SPSS). The findings from this research revealed that there
was an increased in the students’ achievement in learning geometry using PBL approach.
This investigation has shed some insights regarding the implementation of PBL in school and
other setting. Apart from that, it also enlightened the aspects that can be further improved or
as a value-added to enhance learners’ outcomes |
