Peningkatan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematik Berdasarkan Kecerdasan Emosional Siswa Melalui Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah

The research objective was to determine the increase in mathematical problem-solving ability and its impact on the emotional intelligence of students in learning mathematics through problem learning methods. Additionally purpose of this study was to mengetahi activity of students in the learning of mathematics deng mengguanakan problem-based learning methodThis research includes quasi experimental research and classroom action research (CAR) with a control group not equivalent design. Population and samplein this study were students MTs Mandalawangi, samples of two classes of VIII A as an experimental class of 30 students and the class as a class VIII B control as many as 30 students. Insnstrumen test in the form of questions used to measure student abilities mathematical problem pemeecahanThe results showed that; 1) The problem-based learning can improve mathematical problem-solving abilities; 2) Improvement of mathematical problem solving ability of students to use problem-based learning is better than students who use conventional learning based on emotional intelligence (high and low); 3) There is a correlation between mathematical problem solving ability and an emotional intelligence of students; 4) increased student activity in learning mathematics using problem-based learning
