Cooperative Techniques

Teaching how to solve problems – from solving simple equations to solving difficult competition tasks – has been one of the greatest challenges for mathematics education for many years. Trying to find an effective method is an important educational task. Among others, the question arises as to whether a method in which students help each other might be useful. The present article describes part of an experiment that was designed to determine the effects of cooperative teaching techniques on the development of problem-solving skills.

Mathematical problem solving was an crucial skill to be mastered by primary school student so that will help student to unravel their problems encountered in everyday life. By using the realistic mathematics approach, stundents learn mathematical concept based on reality or scope around students. This study aimed to develop an eligible learning materials and test the effectiveness of learning materials based on realistic mathematics education to enhance the problem solving skill of primary school students. This research and development study was conducted in Sawangan Subdistrict, Magelang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. The testing subjects consisted of 12 students in the the preliminary field, there were 42 students in the main field, and 90 students in the operational field that divided into experiment dan control class. The data were collected by interviews, observation, and tests. The analyzing N-gain score and t-test with a significant level of 0.05 done to find out th effectiveness of the teaching materials. The developed of realistic mathematics eduation learning materials is feasible and effective in improving problem solving skill with significance value of 0.000 (p≤0.05). It can enhance the problem solving skills of 4th grade elementary school.

Problem Solving Process

Teaching problem solving can be a challenge to teachers. However, the challenge is oftentimes not due to a lack of skills on the part of learners but due to an inappropriate design of media through which the problem is presented. The findings of this study demonstrate that appropriately designed multimedia can improve learners’ problem solving skills because of the cognitive functions such media have in facilitating mental representation and information retrieval and maintenance, as well as reducing cognitive load during the problem solving process. Suggestions were made on how to apply interactive multimedia to teaching and learning.

Problem solving! Problem solving! Problem solving! Wherever mathematics teachers turn today, they are confronted by these two words, whether it be when reading NCTM's An Agenda for Action, current educational sections of their newspapers, professional journals, or when attending a mathematics education conference. In fact, at the annual NCTM meeting in St. Louis approximately 20 percent of the sections had problem solving in either the description or the title of the talk.

Research In Mathematics Education

Unlike most books reviewed in the journal for Research in Mathematics Education, Problem Solving in the Mathematics Curriculum (PSMC) does not report research. Instead, it seems designed to (a) recommend that problem solving be consistently included in collegiate mathematics instruction, (b) describe some considerations in and ways of teaching problem solving, (c) present an extensive bibliography chosen to help those initiating or teaching problem-solving courses or problem-solving sequences within courses, and (d) give the results of a survey conducted by the Committee on the Teaching of Mathematics of the Mathematical Association of America; the survey provided the impetus for PSMC. Accordingly, the book is divided into four parts. The short first part describes the evolution of PSMC and the recommendations of the Committee on the Teaching of Mathematics. The second part, a more-or-less personal essay by Alan Schoenfeld, gives suggestions for teaching problem solving. The third and most extensive part is an annotated bibliography of journals, books, and articles that might be used to develop in struction in problem solving or to find appropriate problems for such instruction. The last part presents both the survey instrument and the results of the survey.
