- Abstract
This study aims to improve students’ 21st-century skills in the material of linear equations of two variables. 21st-century skills are seen as essential for society in today’s era, but based on preliminary studies, these skills have not been optimally trained in learning mathematics in the classroom. A quasi-experimental study with a pre-post control group design was conducted to apply the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model with a reading infusion strategy. The population of this study was students of class X Vocational High School in the Computer Network Engineering study program (TKJ), totaling 105 students with a purposively selected sample of 72 students. The research instrument is a descriptive test to measure critical thinking skills and creativity with a validity of 0.87 and reliability of 0.93, and communication and collaboration skills rubrics. The results showed that PBL learning with reading infusion strategy significantly improved critical thinking skills with a normalized gain value of 0.46, including the medium category. However, PBL with reading infusion was not significant in increasing creativity. Student creativity in the experimental class increased with a normalized gain value of 0.36, including the medium category. Based on the results of this study, there is still no way to practice the skills of making ideas and elaborating ideas. After implementing PBL learning with reading infusion, students’ communication skills were in the sufficient category, and students’ collaboration skills were in a good category. It can be concluded that the PBL learning model with reading infusion strategy significantly improves critical thinking skills and does not considerably increase creativity.
