Learning of disaster mitigation through problem based learning method in senior high school

In Indonesia, disaster education in schools is now very necessary because of Indonesia’s geographical location which is in the ring of fire. However, learning activities in the classroom appear to be passive because the teacher’s role tends to be most dominant while the role of students is limited. Learning will be more effective when students are more directly involved than just passively accepting material from the teacher. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of Disaster Mitigation Learning Through Problem Based Learning Methods in High Schools. The method in this research is the study of literature. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is a method characterized by utilizing problems that occur in the real world to train students to think critically and skillfully in solving problems. Disaster mitigation that prioritizes phenomena around students will provide comprehensive knowledge. Therefore, material content that prioritizes phenomena will be suitable if taught using problem-based learning methods because students are expected to be problem solvers related to disasters.
