The objective of this research is to find the effect of problem-based learning to
students speaking ability of the tenth grade at SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Palu. This
research employed experimental research of quasi-experimental design. The samples
were the students of X Farmasi as the experimental group and the students of X TKJ
A as the control group. They were selected using convenience sampling technique.
The data were collected through pretest and posttest analyzed by using t-test formula
to compare the mean score of the experimental and control groups. The result of the
data analysis shows that t-table (1.968) was higher than t-value (0.96), indicating that
the hypothesis is rejected. It means that, the problem-based learning has no effect
significantly to the students speaking ability. It might be caused by several factors
such as situation, teaching implementation, and students participation.
