Abstract

The low ability to solve problems in the motion of objects material and its application from the
result of problem- solving ability (50% under the KKM) encourages researchers to gain improvements to
learning. Learning improvement aims to improve students' problem-solving skills in science learning,
especially motion material. For teachers as an effort to increase performance by using a problem-based
learning approach, the learning process will become meaningful, and students will become active in
learning. After applying the problem-based learning model and using demonstration and experimental
methods in cycles 1 and 2, it turned out that students were motivated to learn, and 83% of students
achieved KKM. The conclusion is the application of the problem-based learning model in science learning
about the motion of objects and its application can improve the problem-solving abilities of class VIII
students.
