The difficulty value (p) is between 0.40-0.65 and the discrimination value (r) is between 0.32-0.80. And the reliability of the test is 0.77. and quizzes, measuring the ability to solve problems in multiple-choice. Of the 20, the difficulty value (p) is between 0.25-0.56 and the discrimination value (r) is between 0.26-0.69. The reliability of the test is 0.71, analyzed by averaging  and standard deviation, and the t- test

The results showed that 1) the student' achievement by active learning approach, posttest was higher than pretest at the .01 level of significance,             and 2) the students' problem-solving ability scores by active learning approach, posttest was higher than pretest at the .01 level of significance.
