Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop the design of the student worksheet Problem-Based Learning to improve the problem-solving ability of eighth-grade junior high school students. This research uses Four-D development model. The development procedure includes four stages: define, design, develop, and dissemination. The subjects of the study were eighth graders of junior high school 9 Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The object of this research is curriculum, student characteristics and evaluation of teaching materials. This research resulted in a) the results of needs analysis of student worksheet Problem Based Learning to improve problem-solving abilities appropriate to the curriculum, student characteristics, learning materials and objectives. b) the results of the Student Worksheet design consisting of the cover, introduction, table of contents, instructions manual, basic competence, supporting information, action steps, and exercise. This research can be continued to develop and dissemination.

Highlights

Mathematical problem solving is a search for solutions to mathematical problems encountered by using all the mathematics knowledge possessed by learners [1] and someone with problemsolving skills is a confident, creative, and independent thinker [2] so that problem-solving skills are one of the must-have capabilities students in the 21st century [3]
Mathematical problem-solving tests should often be tested to students so that students become accustomed to solving problems of mathematical problem solving and students are always reminded to resolve existing issues according to troubleshooting indicators consisting of understanding, planning, completing and re-examining [13]
Students need the student worksheet with the difficulty level format from low to complicated and the language in student worksheet that is clear and easy to understand by students and student worksheets with an exciting appearance

Summary

Introduction

Mathematical problem solving is a search for solutions to mathematical problems encountered by using all the mathematics knowledge possessed by learners [1] and someone with problemsolving skills is a confident, creative, and independent thinker [2] so that problem-solving skills are one of the must-have capabilities students in the 21st century [3]. The focus of mathematics education is to ensure students can apply the knowledge and skills they learn to everyday life, and students are expected to develop their problem-solving skills to cope with obstacles by adopting multiple points of view [4]. Problem-solving skills are central to the mathematics curriculum [5], and NCTM puts problem-solving skills as one of the primary goals of mathematics education [6]. Problem-solving is part of an essential mathematical curriculum because, in the learning and completion process, students use the knowledge and skills they need to apply to solve problems [7]. Rohmah & Sutiarso stated that the student's error factor is not absorbing information well, not understanding problem transformation, not following the material thoroughly and understanding mathematically from a weak concept [12]. Mathematical problem-solving tests should often be tested to students so that students become accustomed to solving problems of mathematical problem solving and students are always reminded to resolve existing issues according to troubleshooting indicators consisting of understanding, planning, completing and re-examining [13]
