The background of this study is the weakness of higher-order thinking skill of elementary education major students. Thus, we need a suitable learning model used to improve the higher-order thinking skill of elementary education major students. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of problembased learning, problem-solving and problem-posing in improving the higher-order thinking skill of students of elementary education major. This research uses a factorial design. The sample used in this study is a random sampling technique. The sample includes three classes of fifth-semester students. Three classes apply different learning models. The first class uses a problem-based learning model, the second class uses the problem-solving model and the third class uses the problem posing model. The sample used in this study is 117 students. The result shows that the higher-order thinking skill of students with problem-based learning has a significant difference compared to those with problem posing, but it is not significant as students with problem-solving. This research shows that problem-based learning is the most effective model in improving the ability of higher-order thinking skill of elementary education students compared with problem-solving and problem posing. This study implies that the lecturers of elementary education major can improve the higher-order thinking skill of related students by using problem-based learning.

“…Thus, the category of Newman errors that researchers will use to analyze the level of student performance in solving problem-based mathematics context problem solving. Abdullah (2015) "there are two factors that make the students unable to produce correct answers, namely: problems in the fluency of languages and understanding concepts, and problems process skill of mathematics (understanding, transformation errors, process skill and writing answers)". According to Ismail (Abdullah, 2015), "student misconduct in completing mathematics deals with the following characteristics: (a) cognitive activity, (b) metacognitive ability, (c) attitudes, and (d) knowledge possessed by them.…”

Various levels of characteristics have caused different errors in each student and different abilities for them to solve math problems.…”

In this context, several recent studies have focused on the ability to understand a problem and difficulties regarding the solving as a means of improve students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. Design of research explores types and factors of mistakes students in solving mathematical problems. The instrument used is problem solving test. Data from Indonesia secondary school students (N = 147) who were about 15 years old were analyzed using theory Newman. Procedure Newman includes: reading errors, comprehension errors, transformation errors, process skill errors and enconding errors. The results indicate to reading errors of 4.35%, comprehension errors of 17.39%, transformation errors of 34.78%, process skill errors of 23.91%, and enconding errors 19.57%. Factors errors students' is not to absorb information well, not understanding the transformation of the problem, not following the material thoroughly, and comprehension mathematical of weak concepts.

“…Problem-solving is an activity that can generate Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) among student. However, only a few student are capable of solving problems and many are experiencing difficulties (Abdullah, Abidin, & Ali, 2015). So, the purpose of this research is to know problem-solving ability of student on counting operations problem of algebra form.…”

ABSTRAKPemecahan masalah adalah bagian penting dari kurikulum pembelajaran matematika. Banyak siswa yang masih mengalami kesulitan dan kesalahan dalam menyelesaikan pemecahan masalah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa dalam operasi hitung bentuk aljabar. penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VII-F SMP N 1 Wonosari. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah tes pemecahan masalah. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan berdasarkan analisis Miles dan Huberman, yaitu reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1)95.56% siswa dapat memahami masalah dengan baik, 4.44% siswa tidak dapat memahami masalah; (2) 18.33% siswa dapat membuat perencanaan penyelesaian masalah, 81.67% tidak dapat membuat perencanaan dengan baik; (3) 28.61% siswa dapat melakukan perencanaan dengan baik, 71.39% tidak dapat melakukan perencanaan; (4) 45% melakukan pengecekan ulang jawaban dengan baik, 55% tidak melakukan pengecekan jawaban.Kata kunci: pemecahan masalah, kemampuan pemecahan masalah, operasi hitung bentuk aljabar. ABSTRACTProblem-solving is the important part of mathematics curriculum. Most of student still have difficulties and mistakes in promblem solving. This research aims to know problem-solving ability of student on counting operations of algebra form. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. The subject is student grade VII-F SMP N 1 Wonosari. The data collecting technique is a problem-solving test. The data analysis according to Miles and Huberman, which are data reduction, data display, drawing and verifying conclusion. The results of this research showing that: (1) 95.56% of student can understand the problem, 4.44% of student cannot understand the problem; (2) 18.33% of student can devising a plan, 81.67% cannot devising a plan; (3) 28.61% of student can carrying out the plan, 71.39% cannot carrying out the plan; (4) 45% can looking back the answer, 55% cannot looking back the answer.
