This study aims to determine the effectiveness of problem-based learning with problems of jukung and balogo to improve students' mental model of Newton's laws of motion. Jukung is traditional transportation in South Borneo and balogo is traditional game of Suku Banjar. These objects was used as anchor problems for studying Newton's laws. The used research method was quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control group design. The samples included 46 students of grade X that selected by the cluster random sampling technique. The samples was divided into two groups which consist 22 students of experimental class and 24 students of control class. The data of students' mental modeling was obtained by six essay items and be analyzed by independent sample t-test. The results of data analysis showed that sig. value of t-test is below than 0.05. In the end of learning the students could describe the phenomenon about force and motion that fit with concepts of Newton's laws. These results indicate that the problem based learning with problems of jukung and balogo is effective to improve student mental model about Newton's laws of motion.
