This was a quantitative research that aims to know the effectiveness of physics learning by using direct instruction model assisted by Plickers application, knowing the problem solving ability of learners after being taught using direct instruction model assisted by Plickers application, and knowing the percentage of learners achievement for each problem solving indicators. The subjects of the study were the students of class XI MIA 1 SMA Negeri 1 Sayegan consisting of 32 students and selected using purposive method. Data was collected by using a test instrument in the form of a reasonable multiple choice which presented in the Plickers application. The results showed that learning by using direct instruction model assisted by application of Plickers was effectively used in physics learning process in terms of KKM (minimal completeness criteria) achievement. In addition, the average score of students' problem solving ability was 85.00 with details of 27 students scored the high category and 5 students were in the medium category. Furthermore, the percentage of each problem solving indicator was in the high category and only one indicator experienced the medium category with a percentage of 73%. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
