Abstract

ABSTRACT
This article presents the result of implementing Problem-based Learning through
Lesson Study in Civics class as an effort of enhancing students’ participation and
collaboration during class discussions. The implementation of Problem-based Learning
through Lesson Study was conducted in a private school under Muhammadiyah
organization in Distric Purbalingga, Central Java, namely MTs Muhammadiyah 01
Purbalingga. In Civics Class at the school investigated, the learning process was
commonly dominated by lecturing session which made the students passive and found
monotonous atmosphere of learning which consequently resulted on meaningless
learning. This condition affected to the students’ activeness which belonged to low
category. Therefore a better design of learning by implementing Problem-based
Learning through Lesson Study was needed to cope with the problem. Lesson Study was
done in 2 cycles and is still continuing until now. The action was intended to make the
students more active and participative during the Civics lesson especially in class
discussion sessions. The method which was used is qualitative method with 36 students
in grade 8E of MTs Muhammadiyah 01 Purbalingga participated. During two times of
plan-do-see actions in Lesson Study, 8 of 9 groups in Civics class or 80% of the whole
students was good at participating in group and class discussions. The finding found in
the two cycles of Lesson Study gives a proof that the implementation of Problem-based
Learning contributes positively to the students’ participation and collaboration in Civics
class.
