Local Instruction Theory

This research aimed to develop local instruction theory that is valid, practical, and effective to help elementary school students developing their mathematical problem-solving skills. Therefore a sequential activityis design on dailybasis to encourage students to develop their ability to solve mathematical problems, especially on the topic division. To achieve the goal, realistic mathematics approach was implemented to grade three elementary students in the learning process. The designed activities were validated by experts on the aspects of mathematical contents, language, didactical process based on realistic mathematical approach. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and parametric statistics. The validation results show that the local instruction theory was valid, and the implementation shows that the local instruction theory is practical and effective in improving students' mathematical problem-solving skills.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa SMA dalam pemecahan masalah dan komunikasi matematik melalui pendekatan problem posing dalam pembelajaran matematika. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuasi eksperimen. Populasi penelitian ini adalah siswa di salah satu SMA Negeri di Kabupaten Garut. Sampel penelitian dipilih secara acak berdasarkan kelas, sampelnya adalah kelas XII IPA 1 yang mendapat pembelajaran menggunakan pendekatan problem posing dan siswa kelas XII IPA 3 yang mendapat pembelajaran konvensional. Simpulan hasil penelitian ini adalah bahwa dalam pembelajaran matematika di SMA: 1. Kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematik siswa yang mendapatkan pendekatan problem posing lebih baik dibandingkan dengan konvensional, 2. Tidak terdapat perbedaan kemampuan komunikasi matematik antara siswa yang mendapatkan pendekatan problem posing dengan konvensional, 3. Tidak terdapat kaitan yang signifikan antara kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematik dengan kemampuan komunikasi matematik pada siswa yang mendapatkan pendekatan problem posing. The purpose of this research is to improve the ability of high school students in problem solving and communication of mathematics through problem posing approach to learning mathematics. The method used is a quasi-experimental method. The study population was one of the students in high schools in Garut. Samples were selected randomly based on the class, the sample is a class XII IPA 1 gets learning using problem posing approach and class XII IPA 3 students who received conventional learning. Conclusion The results of this study is that the study of mathematics in high school: 1. mathematical problem solving ability of students to get a better problem posing approach compared to conventional, 2. there is no difference in the ability of mathematical communication between students who received conventional approach to problem posing, 3. there was no significant association between mathematical problem solving skills with communication skills in students who get a mathematical problem posing approach.

Difficulties of primary school students in solving mathematical problems that require problem solving or reasoning abilities indicate the existence of problems in the process of learning mathematics, because one of the purposes of learning mathematics in primary school is to develop the students’ mathematical problem-solving skills. As a solution to overcome the problems, this research aims at understanding how the implementation of the guided discovery learning model influences mathematical problem-solving skills. This research employs a quasi-experimental design by involving all fifth-grade students at one of primary schools in Tebo Regency, Jambi. The simple random sample was conducted to obtain class VB as experimental class, and class VA as control class. Based on the results of the final score, experiential class obtained an average score of 86.00, and control class obtained an average score of 76.93.  The results of hypothesis test using t-test obtained tcount = 2,203 > ttable = 2,020, which indicated that H0 was rejected, and H1 was accepted. Therefore, the guided discovery learning model influenced the fifth-grade students’ mathematical problem-solving skills, thus it is recommended for teachers to be able to use the guided discovery learning model in the mathematics learning process.

This study aims to describe the implementation of concept attainment model in developing math problem solving skills of 5th grade elementary school students. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomological research design. The subjects in this study were 2 students and 1 teacher of 5th grade of SD Negeri Newung 2 Elementary School (SDN Newung 2), Sukodono, Indonesia. The data technique used tests and interviews with students and teachers. The data validity used source and method triangulation. Data analysis used three stages, namely (1) data reduction, (2) data presentation, (3) data conclusions. The results of this study, (1) the students' mathematical solving ability is good, because students have mastered the indicators of mathematical problem solving abilities, (2) Implementation of the concept attainment model in Mathematics learning is correct, because students are enthusiastic about learning, the steps used are appropriate, namely the stage of analyzing thinking strategies, presenting data, and testing concept achievement.
