Abstract


Abstract: Using Problem-Based Learning to Promote Students Critical Thinking and Mathmatical Problem Solving Skills. Objectives: This study aims to promote students ability to think critically and solve mathematical problems in terms of the level of mathematical curiosity using Problem-Based Learning model. Methods: The method of research is quasi-experimental with the mixed method with a sequential explanatory strategy. Findings: There were differences in the students critical thinking and mathematical problem solving skills taught by problem-based learning and conventional learning, but no difference based on the level of mathematical curiosity. Conclusion: Problem-based learning is recommended as an alternative solution for learning in the classroom in an effort to improve critical thinking skills and solve mathematical problems.

Keywords: problem-based learning, critical thinking skills, mathematical problem solving skills, mixed method research.

Abstrak: Menggunakan Problem-Based Learning untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Berpikir Kritis dan Pemecahan Masalah Matematis Siswa. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kemampuan berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah matematis ditinjau dari level mathematical curiosity mahasiswa dengan menerapkan model Problem-Based Learning. Metode: Metode penelitian adalah kuasi eksperimen dengan metode campuran dengan strategi eksplanatoris sekuensial. Temuan: Terdapat perbedaan kemampuan berpikir kritis dan pemecahan masalah matematis mahasiswa yang diajarkan dengan problem-based learning dan pembelajaran konvensional, namun tidak terdapat perbedaan berdasarkan level curiosity matematis. Kesimpulan: Problem-based learning direkomendasikan menjadi solusi alternatif pembelajaran didalam kelas dalam upaya meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir kritis dan penyelesaian masalah matematis.

Kata kunci: problem-based learning, keterampilan berpikir kritis, keterampilan pemecahan masalah matematis, penelitian mixed method.
