Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between problem solving activity and students^ learning outcomes in the Wave course during the odd semester of 2024/2025. A total of 54 students participated in this research. Data were collected using an observational rubric and final exam scores. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression were employed. The results revealed a moderate positive correlation (r = 0.568) and a regression model explaining 32.3% of the variance in learning outcomes. These findings support the integration of structured problem-solving activities in physics learning to improve student achievement.

Keywords: learning outcomes , problem solving activity, student achievement
