Pbl-team teaching: supporting vocational students logical thinking and creative disposition

An analysis of labour demand informs that a dimension of the ability to think logically and creatively are needed. Many studies on the implementation of PBL have been carried out. However, no research has yet combined the PBL model and the team teaching method as a solution in learning for vocational schools. The collaboration involves mathematics teachers and at least one vocational teacher as a learning resource. An implementation of PBL-team teaching has been carried out in the technology & industry group of Vocational Schools in the district of Cirebon. This study is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. It involves one medium-level and low-level school. Each sample was taken randomly in two classes experiment is PBL-Team Teaching and PBL, and one control class is the conventional model. Descriptive statistical analysis was used in this study. The result shows that the increase in mathematical logic and creative thinking ability of students who used PBL-team teaching was higher than students in PBL and conventional models. PBL-team teaching requires sufficient preparation for teachers. That is, to collaborate in teaching and transferring their knowledge. In addition to solving problems, it is necessary to prepare students' initial knowledge.
