This study aims to determine the ability to solve mathematical problems through meta-analysis in the Southeast Sulawesi region. The method in this study uses meta-analysis. Data on mathematical problem solving abilities were obtained from data from previous research, totaling 12 in the form of 6 journals, 5 theses, and 1 thesis. The meta-analysis procedures used in this study are: 1) determining the research domain to be summarized, 2) selecting the types of publications collected, 3) collecting research results, 4) recording research data, 5) calculating the effect size of each result. research. The results showed that students' mathematical problem solving abilities in terms of education level at the junior high school level were more likely to develop mathematical problem solving abilities than high school students. students' mathematical problem solving abilities in terms of the research year tend to be unstable every year, and students' mathematical problem solving abilities in terms of learning models/approaches have not been maximized.
