The level of quality of education in a society is a crucial factor that determines the progress of that nation. Therefore, a country's progress can be measured by the quality of the system Nur's education and Kurniawati . According to Pratiwi . Learning is a process that aims to help students adapt to their environment optimally. This process encourages transformation within students, awakening the desire to play an active role in community Mathematics subjects in elementary schools are learning programs designed to equip students with the ability to face the ever-evolving dynamics of life. This learning provides training to think logically, rationally, critically, thoroughly, honestly and Apart from that, learning mathematics aims to instill hope and positive change in children, as well as preparing them to utilize mathematics and mathematical thinking patterns in daily activities and in studying various scientific disciplines. Lasmanah . The problem is that mathematics textbooks for elementary school students often do not provide clear guidance on how to improve students' mathematical thinking abilities. a result, although some educators assume that problem-solving skills will develop naturally through mastery of numeracy skills, this assumption is not entirely accurate. The main goal of learning mathematics should be to develop students' capacity in problem solving. Therefore, problem solving needs to be emphasized throughout the mathematics Yasin, . 355 | Improving mathematics learning outcomes using the problem-based learning model for class V UPTD SDN 192 BARRU students (Muhammad Nurul Hidayatullah. Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 The 2013 curriculum recommends implementing a learning model that can encourage students to participate actively in the learning process. One model recommended is problem-based learning, which uses problems as a starting point for learning. The problems used must be relevant to real life and familiar to students, so that they are more effective as a learning resource. This approach is student-centered, where they learn a topic through solving real problems, which has proven to be very effective in improving the mathematics learning outcomes of elementary school students. According to Rabiah's research, problem-based learning has several goals, namely helping students develop thinking abilities and problem-solving skills, providing learning experiences that reflect the authentic role of adults, and encouraging students to become independent learners. Marlina . Problem-based learning model . roblem-based learnin. is a learning approach that is based on providing problems that require authentic investigation, namely investigations that require real solutions to real problems. In problem-based learning, a problem presented to students must be able to encourage students' understanding of the problem, increase awareness of knowledge gaps, generate motivation to solve the problem, and provide confidence that they are able to solve the problem. Model problem-based learning This provides opportunities for the growth and development of problem-solving skills by relying on rational, analytical, reasoning patterns. synthesis, and reflective. Santika et al. According to Kartini et al. The PBL (Problem-Based Learnin. learning model is an approach that involves applying concrete problems to students, training them to solve problems effectively. Through this process, students are expected to not only be able to find solutions, but also gain insight from solving these problems, which can later become an illustration or reference in future learning. Through PBL, students learn to solve a problem by applying the knowledge they have or seeking new knowledge needed to solve the problem. Learning becomes more meaningful and relevant when students face real situations where the concepts learned can be directly applied. Apart from that. PBL can also foster initiative in work, increase internal motivation to learn, and develop interpersonal skills in group work. Islahiyah, et al. The learning process begins with defining the problem, followed by student discussions to equalize perceptions about the topic being discussed and designing goals and targets to be achieved. The next step involves searching for materials from various sources, such as library books, the internet, and observations. Assessment by teachers includes not only learning outcomes, but also the process taken by students. In this case, the teacher's role is to monitor learning progress, direct students in solving problems, and ensure they remain on the right track to achieve learning goals. Fauzia . The PBL model has the following basic characteristics: . asking questions or problems, . emphasizing interconnectedness interdisciplinary, . involves authentic inquiry, . produces products or works that can be exhibited, and . encourages Masrinah, et al. Based on the Learning Process Profile and Learning Outcomes, the problem formulation is "How to improve learning outcomes Mathematics "Multiplication of decimal numbers material through a problem-based learning model for fifth grade students at SDN 192 Barru"?

Jurnal Ilmu Sosial dan Pendidikan (JISIP) e-ISSN : 2656-6753, p-ISSN: 2598-9944 This research was carried out at UPTD SDN 192 BARRU, in the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year for 2 . months, starting from 15 August to 15 October 2024. The research subjects were grade 5 students of UPTD SDN 192 BARRU, who were registered in the academic year 2024/2025 as many as 13 students, each consisting of 5 women and 8 men. Classroom Action Research (PTK) is carried out through activities consisting of four stages, namely planning . , action . , observation . , and reflection . Overall, the four stages are in a spiral form to address a problem that may require more than one cycle. These cycles are interrelated and continuous. The first cycle was carried out to determine the level of students' abilities. The second cycle is carried out if the author did something less successful in the first cycle. The third cycle is carried out if the previous cycle has not been able to overcome the problem, and the same goes for the next cycle. After compiling the teaching module, the teaching and learning process can begin. Implementation of the teaching module includes learning objectives, learning model, learning process including initial activities, core activities, and closing. The evaluation is given in the form of multiple-choice questions. The first step is to view and examine the Syllabus, the second step is to prepare teaching modules according to the learning strategy that will be implemented, and formulate evaluation tools. The next step can be seen from the flowchart below: Figure 1. Implementation design Study Class Action (PTK) RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION In this section, the research results are explained and a comprehensive discussion is Results can be presented in the form of pictures, graphs, tables and others which make it easy for readers to understand . , . Discussion can be carried out in several subchapters. Research result Pre-Action Cycle Before carrying out the learning process, the researcher made observations on the ability to understand multiplication of decimal fractions of students in class 5 of UPTD SDN 192 Barru. Observation results show that teachers still use monotonous learning strategies, which causes students' ability to understand multiplication and division to be incomplete. When delivering the lesson, when students were asked to do multiplication questions, there were some students who couldn't operate multiplication of numbers dozens or hundreds, and prefers to make noise which causes students' ability to understand lessons to not be optimal. The results of implementing activities in the initial conditions show the results as explained in the table below. 357 | Improving mathematics learning outcomes using the problem-based learning model for class V UPTD SDN 192 BARRU students (Muhammad Nurul Hidayatullah.

Number Decimal. This happens because it is easier for students to understand the concepts presented by the teacher, especially when explanations are given repeatedly and supported by making things summary use their own sentences. However, the improvement in Cycle I still did not fully satisfy the researchers, because there were several students who did not understand Multiplication Number decimals well and difficulty in carrying out the given Therefore, in Cycle II, researchers plan to reorganize the teaching modules so that students can fully understand the material being taught. Improvements occurred in cycle II in the ability to understand multiplication number decimals using the problem-based learning model can be followed by students well, so that their learning outcomes are maximized compared to previous learning. this research, researchers also conducted a review at the end of each lesson to measure the improvement in students' abilities. The review is carried out by randomly appointing students to come forward and describe the results of their own decimal multiplication calculations on the blackboard. From the results of the implementation of Classroom Action Research (PTK), there has been an improvement in each cycle, it can be concluded that with problem-based learning can improve the ability to understand multiplication of decimal numbers for grade 5 students at UPTD SDN 192 BARRU. CONCLUSION Based on the research results starting from the pre-action cycle. Cycle I, and Cycle II, it can be concluded that: The problem-based learning model (PBL) can improve students' ability to understand multiplication of decimal numbers with increasing values from the pre-action cycle to cycle II. This is shown in the pre-action details, namely 23% understanding the questions correctly, 46% in cycle I, and 85% in cycle II. BIBLIOGRAPHY
