Analysis of Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills and Student Process Skills in Problem-Based Learning

This study aims to (1) determine the characteristics of mathematics learning with problem-based learning in the 2013 curriculum, and 2) describe mathematical problem-solving abilities and student process skills in learning with the problem-based learning model. This type of research is a mixed method research with the concurrent embedded design which is a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods that are carried out together. In this study, qualitative research is the primary method while quantitative research is a secondary method. The research subjects were 37 students of MTs PB Roudlotul Mubtadiin Balekambang Jepara. Student process skills observed include observing, questioning, gathering information, associating, and forming networks / communicating. The results of this study indicate (1) the learning device with the problem-based learning model in the 2013 curriculum is effective because it meets the completeness test in the experimental class and the comparative test that the experimental class mathematical problemsolving ability is better than the control class mathematical problem-solving ability, (2) score students ' problem-solving ability in the experimental class increased after following the learning with the problem-based learning model and the students' process skills in following the learning in the 2013 curriculum increased significantly.
