Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of the TASC learning model on students' ability to solve problems in
natural resource management material. This study uses an experimental method with the design of Non�equivalent Pretest-Postest Control Group Design. The results of this study indicate that the TASC learning
model has an effect on students' problem-solving abilities in natural resource management materials, where
experimental class students who use the TASC learning model have better problem-solving skills than the
control class that uses the class discussion model in natural resource management material. Based on
the results of hypothesis testing, it was concluded that there were significant differences between students
learning using the TASC learning model (Active Thinking in Social Context) with students learning to use
cooperative type class discussion learning models to solve problems.
