Abstrak
Kemampuan mahasiswa dalam memecahkan masalah masih sangat kurang. Tujuan penelitian
ini untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah (KPM) mahasiswa melalui
pembelajaran berbasis masalah dengan bantuan lembar kerja mahasiswa (LKM). Jenis
penelitian yang digunakan melalui pendekatan yakni penelitian tindakan kelas dengan 2 siklus.
Objek penelitian adalah mahasiswa Diploma tingkat 1 Institut Teknologi Del yang berjumlah
120 Mahasiswa TA. 2020/2021 pada mata kuliah Matematika Diskrit. Data penelitian
dikumpulkan melalui tes dan dianalisis melalui peningkatan analisis gain serta dilakukan
wawancara dan kuesioner. Hasil penelitian didapat bahwa ketuntasan belajar terjadi sebesar
66,80% dan peningkatan rata-rata KPM 19,47% dengan nilai gain 0,37 (sedang). Hal ini
menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan KPM mahasiswa dengan menggunakan model
pembelajaran berbasis masalah dan bantuan LKM dapat tercapai secara optimal. Hasil
wawancara dan kuesioner mengatakan bahwa konten soal sangat baik dan memberikan
pengaruh pemahaman materi yang cenderung lebih baik.

The Effect of Using the Worksheet in Activities of Students for Delivering
and/or Summarizing Content in Problem Solving Ability
Abstract
The ability of students to solve problems is still very lacking. The purpose of this study was to
improve student problem solving skills (KPM) through problem-based learning with the help of
student worksheets (LKM). The type of research used through the approach of classroom
action research with 2 cycles. The object of the research is Diploma level 1 Del Institute of
Technology students, totaling 120 TA students. 2020/2021 in the Discrete Mathematics course.
Research data were collected through tests and analyzed through increased gain analysis and
interviews and questionnaires were conducted. The results showed that the mastery of
learning occurred by 66.80% and the average increase in KPM was 19.47% with a gain value of
0.37 (medium). This shows that there is an increase in student learning outcomes by using
problem-based learning models and LKM assistance can be achieved optimally. The results of
interviews and questionnaires said that the content of the questions was very good and
influenced the understanding of the material which tended to be better.
