Abstract

In higher education, the focus has shifted towards developing students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This transition from teacher-centered to student-centered learning is encapsulated in the Student-Centered Learning (SCL) approach, which emphasizes independent learning. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is one implementation of SCL, and it is closely related to the Realistic Mathematical Education (RME) approach. This research aims to create a learning model for teaching statistics and probability using a combination of PBL and RME, along with validating the necessary learning tools. The learning model was formulated through literature review, and the development of tools (such as RPS and Student Handouts) followed the R&D design by Borg and Gall. The validity of these tools was assessed by a team of experts. The study resulted in a combined PBL and RME learning model for statistics and probability courses, with the RPS and Student Handouts receiving validity scores of 83.95% (Valid category) and 88.54% (Very Valid category), respectively. This model and its tools were implemented in the statistics and probability course in the Smart City Information Systems study program at Poliban, with the expectation of enhancing the quality of student learning and fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
