PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH MAHASISWA PGSD UNIVERSITAS SARJANAWIYATA TAMANSISWA MELALUI PROBLEM POSING

Sari

This study aims to improve problem solving skills in Basic Mathematics courses through Problem Posing approach. This research is a Classroom Action Research. The subject of the research is the 2^nd semester students of PGSD at Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa University (UST). The research instruments are observation sheets, pretest and postest. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistc technique by determining mean, median, mode, lowest score, highest score, and completeness of study individually or classically presented in percentage form. The result of this research shows that Problem Posing approach can increase the problem solving ability of 2E PGSD students. This can be seen from the increase of the pra cycle stage which shows the problem solving ability  of the students by 45 % has increase in the first cycle of 52,72 % and the second cycle there is also a significant increase of 84 %. This means that the implementation of class action research is successful. Based on the result of the research, the implications that can be given, among others, is this study provides an overview of the improvement of student problem solving skills after applying the problem posing approach. This learning provides students the opportunity to learn independently and improve their creativity.
