At present, knowledge and technology are in rapid progress.
Humans with all activities and
activities needed to produce and solve problems that exist today. Of course in solving all problems that are needed intelligence, creativity, and wisdom so that in solving problems does not cause more difficult problems. To create quality human beings is certainly inseparable from the world of education. Because education is one place for quality and independent childbirth. Therefore, education and demand are of good quality.Improving the quality of education and movement must always be healthy and carried out by improving the quality of learning. Through improving the quality of learning, students will be increasingly motivated and learning, increasingly knowledgeable, and increasingly mastered, and more stable than the material being studied. Efforts to improve the quality of education, a review of the curriculum has been carried out. Even curriculum improvement has occurred over time. One of the factors that influence learning is student activity. In the learning process, students are asked to be active through activities that build groups and in normal times, making them think about the subject matter.When learning openly, the process is free without feeling, without question, and without attraction to results. When active learning, students look for something. He wants to answer questions, information to solve problemsp, or improve ways to do work. Very useful in education is very necessary, what is learned will be deeper in the minds of students. In learning, lecturer are accustomed to presenting material using conventional methods, namely the lecture method. This teaching method becomes a passive student in receiving information. They are only invited to listen, without any activity. Thus the lecturer does not know what really understands the material presented even though it results in student achievement. To overcome the problem of unsustainable gelatin. Emphasis on helping strategies that can be used as an alternative to increasing student activity, which can further enhance student learning in learning. The strategy used is to answer the question. Question answering system is an information retrieval system in which the expected response givesdirectly the answer asrequested rather than set of references which have possibilities as the answer. The objective of this research is to representknowledge and retrieve the answer for a given question by utilizing Vector Space Model. While some mechanisms have beendeveloped in question answering system such as N-gram, template-driven response, reversible transformation, etc., an attempt touse Vector Space Model is conducted. The query will be compared to the knowledge based by measuring their similarity.
