PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN PROBLEM BASED LEARNING TERHADAP PEMAHAMAN KONSEP MATEMATIS PESERTA DIDIK KELAS VIII SMP NEGERI 3 BATANGHARI

Abstract

Student mathematics understanding ability is a basic ability who students need to have. It is will be better if the students can find the concept by themselves. By implementing problem based      learning, students can construct their knowledge and the relation of concept by solving the problems in real-life. So, it need to do the research in other to mathematics understanding ability to students is better than previous. This research is experiment0research by means0of nonequivalent posttest-only control group design.
