This study is a pre test-post test experimental control group design having a goal to analyze  the role of contextual teaching and learning (CTL)  on students’ mathematical problem solving ability  (MPSA) and disposition (MD). The study involved 40  tenth grade students of a Madrasah Alyah (MA), a mathematical problem solving test, a mathematical  disposition scale. The study found that on MPSA, its gain, and on MD, students getting treatment with CTL attained better grades than grades of students taught by conventional teaching. Even if, both students’ grades on MPSA were still at very low level, on MD,  first group students’ grade on MD  was at medium level and the second group students’ grade was at low level.  Many students still realized difficulty on compiling MPSA. The other findings, there was no association between MPSA and MD, but students performed good perception toward CTL approach.

One of the main goals of school mathematics is the achievement of mathematical problem-solving abilities through problem-based learning. It is expected that these abilities can be achieved well by students. However, the complexity of the problem and minimum confidence become a problem when students experience complex situations created in the problem-based learning process. Scaffolding becomes essential because of the differences in each student's knowledge stored in long term memory. The purpose of the study was to analyze differences in mathematical problem-solving abilities with two different learning and based on initial mathematical abilities. Learning in the experimental class is problem-based learning with scaffolding, and then control class learning is problem-based without scaffolding. The research method used was a quasi-experimental design with a matching-only pretest-posttest control group design. Sample selection using purposive sampling to get samples with the same characteristics, the total number of samples is 60 students with each division 30. The initial mathematics ability has the same role in the mathematical problem-solving ability in the experimental and control classes. That is when students are in the high category then the ability of severe mathematical problem-solving. However, when the two classes are compared, the results are significantly different. Scaffolding becomes a factor that distinguishes the ability to solve mathematical problems.

The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in the improvement of students' mathematical problem-solving abilities with the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach in the material of the two-variable linear equation system in class X SMA Negeri 2 Pematangsiantar. This study used an experimental method with the aim of being in accordance with the previous statement to determine the difference in students' mathematical problem-solving abilities with a contextual approach and an expository approach, with a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The average increase in problem-solving abilities in the control class was 0.1688 while the increase in problem-solving abilities in the experimental class was 0.0085. By using the t-test (SPSS), with a value of Fcount = 10.907 and a significant level of 0.05, a significant probability is obtained 0.002 <0.05, it can be concluded that there is a difference in normalized gain or an increase in problem-solving ability with conventional and contextual approaches. Based on the average gain of the control and experimental classes, the increase in the control class using the conventional approach is higher than the experimental class with the contextual approach. The difference in increasing problem-solving abilities in conventional classrooms is possible due to differences in students' entry-level abilities, which can be seen in the average pretest of each class.
