Visual Media Assisted Problem-Based Learning Model: Does It Affect Students' Mathematical Critical Thinking Skills?

This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning model assisted by visual media on student learning outcomes on the Similarity topic. This is experimental research using a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The population used in this study were ninth-grade students of one of the junior high schools in Kerinci, Jambi. The sample selection used a random sampling technique. The research data was obtained through pretest and posttest. The results showed that there was an effect of the Problem-Based Learning model assisted by the visual media on student learning outcomes on the Similarity topic at the 95% confidence level.
