The result indicated that active learning encourages students to solve scientific problems. Students actively engage in defining and improving the learning process based on their own interests. As a result, students’ academic achievement and problem-solving in science were improved. Furthermore, when comparing the academic achievement and scientific problem-solving scores between after experiment and criterion. Additionally, students expressed a high level of satisfaction with the active science learning activities, as these activities contributed to their academic achievement and problem-solving in the field of science. It can be concluded that active learning is very useful and engage students to science classroom.
