Abstract

This study aims to analyse the improvement of cognitive learning outcomes using the PBL model. This type of research is quantitative descriptive research. This research was conducted at the State University of Malang on biology students who are taking Plant Physiology courses in the odd semester. The research sample was chosen randomly, which consisted of 32 biology Offering I students. The data collection method was carried out by a test using description questions. The instrument used in the study to measure cognitive learning outcomes was using pretest and posttest questions. To see the improvement, the N-gain score test was carried out. Based on the results of the study, the N-gain value of cognitive learning outcomes was 0.41 in the medium category. Based on the research results obtained, it can be concluded that the PBL model improves student cognitive learning outcomes. © 2024 Author(s).
