Mathematics is a compulsory subject in all of Indonesian high school. Problem solving ability is a competency that must be possessed in learning mathematics. The purpose of this study was to examine the variables that affect the ability to solve mathematical problems. These variables are self confidence, self efficacy, emotional intelligence, and the ability to understand concepts. This is a survey research, with a sample of 100 people. The sample was selected by simple random technique from all high school students in Bengkulu City. There are five instruments of this research, namely a test of mathematical problem-solving ability, a concept comprehension ability test, and three questionnaires for self confidence, self efficacy, as well as an emotional intelligence questionnaire. Research data were analyzed through path analysis using SPSS and the Lisrel Application Program. The results of this study were the variables of self confidence, self efficacy, emotional intelligence, and the ability to understand concepts have a direct positive effect on the ability to solve mathematical problems. From this research, we conclude that the ability to solve mathematical problems through self-confidence, self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, and the ability to understand concepts students were in a good category.

Problem solving must be developed and internalized in mathematics<br />learning, so students have problem solving skills that students can<br />transfer to their daily lives when facing problems or difficulties.<br />There is a mental attitude that affects a person's success to become a<br />successful problem solver, namely adversity quotient. This mental<br />attitude affects the mindset and emotions so it is not easy to give up<br />in solving problems. This study aims to measure the relationship<br />between adversity quotient and problem solving abilities of junior<br />high school students in mathematics learning. This research is a<br />correlation study. The population was students of SMPN 1 Padang<br />Panjang 2014/2015 academic year, while 32 samples were selected<br />by purposive sampling. The data was collected using an adversity<br />quotient scale and a mathematical problem solving ability test. Data<br />were analyzed by regression correlation techniques. The results of<br />data analysis showed a correlation coefficient between adversity<br />quotient variables with mathematical problem solving abilities of r =<br />0.756&gt; rtable (0.297), meaning that there was a significant positive<br />relationship between adversity quotient and mathematical problem<br />solving abilities. The coefficient of determination obtained is r2 =<br />0.572 indicating that adversity quotient has an effect of 57.2% on<br />mathematical problem solving abilities of junior high school<br />students, while 42.8% is influenced by other factors

This study is aimed to examine the quality of quantum learning imfluence toward the enhancement of mathematical problem solving ability of Senior High School students, both viewed entirely and based on mathematical initial ability (MIA) category.  In particular, this study is aimed to examine enhancement difference of students’ mathematical problem solving ability in a whole and in each level of mathematical initial ability (high, medium and low) between students who receive quantum learning and students who receive conventional learning. This study use experimental quasi with pretests-posttest control group design.  Population of this study are Senior High School students in Bogor City. Data is obtained through problem solving ability test and mathematical initial ability data. The result of study showed that students who receive quantum learning have enhancement of mathematical problem solving ability which is higher than students who receive conventional learning. There is no difference enhancement of mathematical problem solving ability both entirely and in each level of mathematical initial ability, except for students with high level of initial mathematical ability

Pemecahan masalah adalah suatu proses individu untuk mengatasi hambatan. Soal PISA konten quantity adalah soal PISA yang berhubungan dengan penerapan pengetahuan mengenai bilangan, pola bilangan, dan operasi bilangan. Self-efficacy adalah kepercayaan diri seseorang terhadap kemampuan atau keterampilan dirinya untuk menyelesaikan suatu pekerjaan dalam berbagai keadaan. Pemecahan masalah matematika berkaitan dengan self-efficacy siswa. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk mendeskripsikan profil pemecahan masalah matematika siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy tinggi dan rendah pada soal PISA konten quantity. Jenis penelitian ini yaitu deskriptif kualitatif yang ditujukan kepada siswa kelas X SMA, dengan 2 subjek penelitian yang mana 1 subjek memiliki self-efficacy tinggi dan 1 subjek memiliki self-efficacy rendah. Instrumen yang digunakan yaitu angket self-efficacy, tes pemecahan masalah PISA konten quantity (2 soal), dan pedoman wawancara. Hasil penelitian ini yaitu pada tahap memahami masalah, siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy tinggi berusaha memahami kalimat pada soal sementara siswa yang memiliki selfefficacy rendah langsung mencari yang diketahui pada soal, serta keduanya dapat menyebutkan informasi pada soal dengan tepat. Pada tahap membuat rencana penyelesaian, siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy tinggi dapat menentukan konsep dan menerapkan konsep dengan tepat hanya pada soal nomor 1. Sedangkan siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy rendah tidak dapat menentukan konsep yang tepat. Pada tahap melaksanakan rencana, siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy tinggi menuliskan penyelesaian sesuai dengan rencana serta penyelesaian yang tepat hanya pada nomor 1. Sedangkan siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy rendah menuliskan penyelesaian sesuai dengan rencana, namun penyelesaiannya kurang tepat. Pada tahap memeriksa kembali, siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy tinggi mengevaluasi pekerjaannya dari awal hingga akhir, penyelesaiannya telah sesuai dengan rencana, serta penyelesaian yang tepat hanya pada nomor 1. Sedangkan siswa yang memiliki self-efficacy rendah hanya mengecek pekerjaannya sepintas pada soal nomor 1, sehingga penyelesaiannya kurang tepat, meskipun penyelesaiannya telah sesuai dengan rencana. Oleh karena itu, guru perlu mempertimbangkan self-efficacy siswa dalam memecahkan masalah matematika.Kata Kunci: pemecahan masalah, self-efficacy, soal PISA konten quantityProblem solving is an individual process for overcoming obstacles. The PISA content quantity problem is a PISA problem that deals with the application of knowledge about numbers, number patterns, and number operations. Self-efficacy is one's confidence in one's ability or skill to complete a job in variouscircumstances. Mathematical problem solving is related to student self-efficacy. The purpose of this study is to describe the profile of mathematical problem solving students who have high and low self-efficacy in the PISA content quantity problem. This type of research is descriptive qualitative aimed at class X high school students, with 2 research subjects where 1 subject has high self-efficacy and 1 subject has low self-efficacy. The instrument used was a self-efficacy questionnaire, PISA problem solving test content quantity (2 questions), and interview guidelines. The results of this study are in the stage of understanding the problem, students who have high self-efficacy try to understand the sentences in the problem while students who have low self-efficacy directly look for what is known in the problem, and both of them can mention information on the problem correctly. In the stage of making a completion plan, students who have high self-efficacy can determine concepts and apply concepts appropriately only on problem number 1. Whereas students who have low self-efficacy cannot determine the right concepts. At the stage of implementing the plan, students who have high self-efficacy write the completion according to the plan and the right completion is only at number 1. Whereas students who have low self-efficacy write the completion according to the plan, but the completion is less precise. In the re-checking stage, students who have high self-efficacy evaluate their work from beginning to end, the completion is according to plan, and the right completion is only at number 1. Whereas students who have low self-efficacy only check their work briefly on question number 1 , so that the solution is less precise, even though the solution is in accordance with the plan. Therefore, teachers need to consider students' self-efficacy in solving mathematical problems.Keywords: problem solving, self-efficacy, PISA content quantity questions
