Improving Third-Grade Students’ Mathematical Problem-Solving Skill in Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur Using Problem-Based Learning
Abstract
This research addresses the challenges faced by third-grade students at Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL) in solving mathematical problems that require deep analysis and comprehension. Initial interviews revealed that students were more accustomed to short, straightforward problems and struggled with complex mathematical structures. To overcome this issue, the research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in strengthening the mathematical problem-solving skills of 34 third-grade students. Focusing on data representation, this study utilized data collection methods including direct observation, mathematical worksheets, student performance analysis, and interviews. The research was conducted in four learning cycles and demonstrated that the implementation of the PBL model significantly improved students’ mathematical problem-solving skills, as evidenced by a consistent increase in learning outcomes across each cycle. In conclusion, this study finds that the problem based learning model is an effective approach to enhance students' mathematical problem-solving abilities.
