The influence of problem posing learning on mathematical solution ability of junior high school

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to determine the influence of learning problems posing to the mathematical problem-solving skills of class VIII students. The approaches and methods used in this study are quantitative approaches and experimental methods. The design in this research is pre-experimental with form one group pre-tests post-test design. This study was conducted at Junior high School Al Islam Cikampek by taking one class as a sample of research, class VIII C which amounted to 40 students. Sampling using purposive sampling techniques. The instruments in this study used a 4-question description test related to mathematical problem-solving skills with surface area material, prism volume, and pyramid. There are three phases in this research, the pre-test is done to know the initial ability to solve the student’s mathematical problem before given treatment. After being given a pre-test, researchers give treatment by giving teaching using the model problem posing. After treatment, the researchers conducted a post-test to determine the final ability to solve students’ mathematical problems. Based on the analysis results of the test-T for two dependent samples showed there is the influence of learning problems posing to the ability to solve the mathematical problem of class VIII students.
