Mathematical problem solving ability based on self-efficacy in ICT-assisted preprospec learning model

Abstract

Mathematical problems solving ability is the main goal of learning mathematics. In addition, students in Mathematics Education study program need one affective ability called self-efficacy. Self-efficacy enables students to have efficacy through the experiences they have. If students have high self-efficacy, they can confidently carry out steps to solve the given mathematical problems. One learning model that can facilitate the enhancement of these two abilities is ICT-Assisted Preprospec Learning (I-Pre) Model. Thus, the main purpose of this research was to analyze comprehensively mathematical problem-solving ability based on self-efficacy in I-Pre Learning model. To do so, it used quantitative methods with all students in the mathematics department of one of universities in Central Java, Indonesia as the population. Moreover, the sample was randomly taken from groups of students in the Study Program of Mathematics Education who enrolled in Integral Calculus course, while their data were collected using two instruments, including Test of Mathematical Problem-solving Ability and self-efficacy scale. After that, the data were analyzed using t test and linear regression. From the findings, it can be concluded that the enhancement of the students’ Mathematical Problem-solving Ability based on self-efficacy gains no different result.
