The Development of Problem Solving Ability and Learning Achievement in the Subject Titled Statistics for Educational Research Using Problem-based Learning Management Combining with POE Technique of Master of Education Students, Program in Educational Administration

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: 1) to develop problem solving ability in the subject titled Statistics for Educational Research using problem-based learning management combining with POE technique for students to have an average score of 70 percent and 70 percent of all students passed the criteria, 2) to develop learning achievement in the subject titled Statistics for Educational Research using problem-based learning management combining with POE technique for students to have an average score of 70 percent and 70 percent of all students passed the criteria, and 3) to study the satisfaction of Master of Education students, Educational Administration Program toward problem-based learning combining with POE technique. The population used in the research was Study Plan A students in Master of Education, program in Educational Administration, Northeastern University, with the total number of 20 people. The research instruments were learning management plans, problem-solving ability tests, learning achievement tests, and satisfaction tests with content validity at 1 and reliability of the tests at 0.91. The statistics used for data analysis comprised frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. 
The research results were found that:
1. The results of the development of problem solving ability in the subject titled Statistics for Educational Research using problem-based learning management combining with POE technique of the students were found that the average score was 86.16 percent and there were 20 students who passed the criteria, which was 100 percent of the total number of the students.
2. The results of the development of learning achievement in the subject titled Statistics for Educational Research using problem-based learning management combining with POE technique of the students were found that the average score was 90.00 percent and there were 20 students who passed the criteria, which was 100 percent of the total number of the students.
3. The satisfaction of the students toward problem-based learning management combining with POE technique, n overall, was rated at the highest level.
