Effectiveness of PBL Through Concept Map to Improve Problem Solving Skill of Primary School Students, 2017. This research aims to knowing the effectiveness of Problem Based Learning (PBL) through concept maps as to improve problem solving skill for primary school students. Research conducted in March-June 2016 at a primary school in Surakarta The method in this research is the research experiments with models of post test only control design. The study subjects consisted of three schools as a control group and three schools as experimental groups. Uji effectiveness using independent t-test to tell the difference between a group test results mean experimental and control group. The results of the independent t-test between experimental group and the control group on three pairs of States that t count is larger than the t table.The results of the independent t-test between eksperiment 1 and control 1 tcalculate 5.065>table t = 2.000. The results of the independent ttest between eksperiment 2 and control 2 tcalculate 8.341>ttable1.990.The results of the independent t-test between eksperiment 3 and control 3 shows tcount 5.262>ttable 2.000. The third pair of shows there is a significant difference between the group's experiments with the control group, then the stated learning is more effective than with the learning of problem solving.

This research aimed to describe the improvement of fiqih learning quality through applying the Cooperative Personal Social Learning (COPERSOL) model with local wisdom value media in Madrasah Tsanawiyah (Islamic Junior High Schools) in Semarang. This study was a qualitative research using case study approach. The result showed that by using local wisdom value media, there was a significant change in which the students attended the learning vigorously, they were motivated and paid attention fully to the subject. Their absorbability improved significantly as indicated with 33 students meeting the minimum of the passing criteria after the application of it. It is different from some weaknesses before teacher used local wisdom value media. The researchers concluded that local wisdom value media could be used to improve the learning quality with Cooperative Personal Social Learning (COPERSOL) model in fiqih for the students of Madrasah Tsanawiyah in Semarang.
