Abstract

Higher education students in Papua were different with those in Java or other regions. They needed intensive and special treatment to make them eager to learn the subject taught. This research aimed at knowing the influence of PBL method on the basis of local wisdom and describing the application of PBL method on the higher education students at STKIP Muhammadiyah Sorong. This quasi-experimental research used one group pretest-posttest design. The data was collected using observation, questionnaire and test. The obtained data was analyzed using normality test and hypothesis test. The steps of PBL method were initiating theme or topic, organizing the assignment in group, preparing the result of report, presenting and evaluating the result report. Those steps would be effective if the lecturer controlled the every single step in each groups. The analysis result showed that there was positive improvement when PBL method applied to the higher students. Based on regression test, the score of t-hitung was 2,371 with significance value 0,035 < 0,05. Thus, it could be concluded that H1 was accepted and H0 was rejected. It meant that PBL method based on local wisdom was effective enough to be applied to the higher students in STKIP Muhammadiyah Sorong.
