The study describes the students’ thinking skill, and metacognitive in problem solving reasoning (PSR) learning model at SMAN 19 Makassar in the academic year 2018/2019. The design of this research was Classroom Action Research (CAR) in which subject was students social science eleventh grade students that consisted of 69 students. Data were collected by using a problem-solving reasoning tests in the form of multiple choice, essay, oral and practice tests. Data of problem solving reasoning (PSR) abilities were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of this study show that: (1) The application of problem solving reasoning (PSR) can improve the statistical students’ metacognitive of social science eleventh grade students. In cycle I, the students’ English outcomes average reached 59.2, whereas in cycle II was successfully increased into 84.8, In cycle I, the students’ sociology and anthropology outcomes average reached 60.9, whereas in cycle II was successfully increased into 88.5 and in cycle I, the students’ Art and Culture outcomes average reached 62.3, whereas in cycle II was successfully increased into 86.9. (2) The application of problem solving reasoning (PSR) can improve students' metacognitive of social science XI grade students. These results indicate that there has been an increasing in percentage mastery learning by 20% from cycle I to cycle II.

The aim of this research is to improve the students' english learning outcomes through PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) learning model at the Eighth Grade of SMP Tunas Bangsa Makassar and it is needed to be developed. The main problem in this study was the lack of students' enthusiasm in taking English lessons. This research aimed to improve the students' English learning outcomes in eighth gradeof SMP Tunas Bangsa Makassar throughPQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review)learning model. This research was classroom action research with two cycles, every cycles was conducted through four stages such as: planning, action, observation, and then reflection. The result of this research showed that the mean score of students in cycle I was 62,79 as low category, where the score is under KKM. Classical learning completeness in cycle I was 16 with indicators 47,05%. The score of completeness was still low the specified completeness as many as 31 and the indicator above 80% namely 91,17%. This proves that learning models can improve students learning outcomes, especially in reading skills. The results of this research are expected to be a reference for those who will conduct further research. and It will be chosen as a model of learning in schools and to be a reference for the local government (Makassar) to make policies related to the PQ4R learning model. Abstrak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk Meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa melalui model pembelajaran PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) terhadap pembelajaran bahasa Inggris dan perlu dikembangkan. Masalah utama dalam penelitian ini yaitu kurangnya antusias dalam siswa mengikuti pelajaran bahasa InggrisPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkanhasil belajar bahasa Inggris siswa kelas VIII SMP Tunas Bangsa Makassar melalui penerapan pembelajaran PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review). Dalam peneliti ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) 49 dengan dua siklus, setiap siklus penelitian tindakan kelas dilakukan melalui empat (4) tahapan yang meliputi: perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, pengamatan/pengumpulan data, dan refleksi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa nilai ratarata hasil belajar siswa di siklus I sebesar sebesar 62,79 yang dikategorikan rendah, dimana nilai tersebut berada dibawah nilai KKM. Ketuntasan belajar klasikal di siklus I sebesar 16 dengan indikator 47,05%. Nilai ketuntasan yang diperoleh asih dibawah ketuntasan yang ditetapkan 80%. Kemudian, nilai rata-rata di siklus II sebesar 77,08 pada kategori sedang dengan ketuntasan belajar klasikal sebesar 31 dan indikator diatas 80% yaitu 91,17%. Ini membuktikan bahwa model pembeajaran dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa khususnya pada kemampuan membaca. Darihasil penelitian nantinya diharapkan menjadi acuan atau referensi bagi yang akan melakukan penelitian berikutnya, serta dijadikan sebagai model pembelajaran di sekolah, dan menjadi acuan pemerintah setempat (Makassar) untuk membuat kebijakan berkaitan dengan model pembela...
