The Implementation of Project Based Learning Model To Improve Problem-Solving Ability And Mathematics Coding System In Number Theory Course

Abstract

The Mathematics Studies Program of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Jambi has a Vision as a center for the development of the field of Mathematics and its flows that supports the preservation of the potential of local natural resources and environment based on science and technopreneur-ship and one of the missions that can be applied to achieve this vision is to increase human resources (HR) in the field of Mathematics. One of the subjects in the Mathematics Study Program that played a role in achieving this vision and mission is Number Theory. The GLA of Number Theory is able to use advanced mathematics to develop and understand mathematical principles, analyze data, and solve real-world problems, be able to reconstruct, modify, and analyze structured mathematical models of a system/problem, examine model accuracy and model utilization, and interpret them and draw contextual conclusions relating to numbers and their properties as well as the concepts of divisibility and congruence. One of the learning models that facilitates students to meet the GLA Lectures in Number Theory is the PJBL (Project Learning) model. This study aims to know the effectiveness of PJBL in improving Problem-Solving ability and mathematics Coding System in the Number Theory Course. The method of this study is action research. Qualitative data was used in the activity process, and quantitative data was used in the student response after using PJBL-based modules. Positive things were obtained based on observations during this project-based learning research activity
