Abstract
The data of students problem solving ability was acquired through given test both prior to and after the implementation of metacognitive skill-based learning model (MSBL model) for stoichiometry and chemical equilibrium materials. Problem solving skill was measured using four indicators, consist of; understanding problem, Devising, implementing the plan and evaluating result. The overall students problem solving ability are classically categorized as good in each time of measurement providing the number of students with high minimum category were fewer than 60%. The results indicate the improvement of student’s ability to understand, to plan, to implement, and to evaluate the problem solving result gradually from prior to stoichiometry study, after the stoichiometry study, prior to chemical equilibrium study and after the chemical equilibrium study. Therefore, the students of chemistry education require time to be able to solve problems well
Highlights
The purpose to learn chemistry is to have the ability to comprehend and to apply the concept, principle, law, chemical theories in order to solve problems in daily life.The students solving problems will have ability to think critically [1]
A person is regarded to have problem solving ability providing the person could implement the sequence of steps able to change the problems circumstance into goal and the sequence is the solution of the problems [3]
The analysis of problem solving ability of the chemistry education students is intended to figure out the progress of students ability to solve problems by time series during the learning in two classes using MSBL model
Summary
The purpose to learn chemistry is to have the ability to comprehend and to apply the concept, principle, law, chemical theories in order to solve problems in daily life. The students solving problems will have ability to think critically [1]. Problem solving is a behaviour directed to the purpose requiring an exact mental representative from problems and certain implementation method or strategic to attain the expected goals [2]. In solving problems, a person requires several sequences consist of to understand problems, to clarify goals, to devise plans, to implement the plans and to evaluate/crosscheck result [4]. The basical things in attaining improvement of problem solving ability could be realized by using the metacognitive skill [5]
