Learning Activities in Mathematics Education: Application of Problem-Based Learning in Power Dominating Set for Electricity Network Optimization Problems
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
Learning activities in mathematics education play an important role in developing students' analytical and problem-solving skills, especially in applying mathematical concepts to real-world problems. This research aims to apply the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method to the topic of Power Dominating Set to optimize the electricity network. Power Dominating Set is a concept in graph theory that can be used to minimize the number of control points in the electricity network, thus optimizing the use of resources and increasing the efficiency of the network. By using PBL, students are expected to understand the concept of Power Dominating Set both abstractly and in a practical context relevant to the real world. This research was conducted using an experimental method with two groups of students, namely the experimental group using the PBL method and the control group using the conventional learning method. The results showed that the group that learned with PBL had a deeper understanding and better analytical skills in applying Power Dominating Set to electricity network optimization problems. Discussion of the results showed that the PBL approach is not only effective in improving the understanding of abstract mathematical concepts, but also capable of enhancing students' skills in identifying and solving real-world electricity network problems. Thus, the application of PBL in mathematics education can be an effective alternative to connect abstract mathematical concepts with practical applications, especially in electricity network optimization.
