Abstract

The mathematics learning outcomes of MAS students in the Tanah Datar Regency are still relatively low. This is because students who enter private schools are students who do not pass the selection in public schools, besides learning is still centered on the teacher and the lack of students 'critical thinking skills and students' mathematical problem-solving abilities is one of the obstacles that affect the low student learning outcomes. One of the efforts made to overcome this problem is to apply the PCL approach to learning. This study aims to determine the effect of the PCL approach on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities, especially in line and series material. The study was conducted on two classes which were used as the experimental class and the control class. In the experimental class, the treatment of learning was given by applying the PCL approach while the control class was given treatment with conventional learning. The research data were obtained from the results of the final test (post-test) given after the PCL treatment was carried out, whereas for data analysis was done using parametric tests for normally distributed data that had homogeneous. The results of the data analysis show that the average final ability of mathematical problem-solving students in the experimental class is 6.54 while the average in the control class is 3.80 with the sig. 2-tailed value is 0.001 which is smaller than the significant level 5%. So it can be concluded that the mathematical problem-solving ability of students through the PCL approach is better than the mathematical problem-solving abilities of students taught with conventional learning in class XI MAS Salimpaung
