Problem-based Learning (PBL) approach has been widely used in various disciplines since it is claimed to improve students' soft skills. However, empirical supports on the effect of PBL on problem solving skills have been lacking and anecdotal in nature. This study aimed to determine the effect of PBL approach on students' problem solving skills using a quasi-experimental non-equivalent group pretest-posttest design. Fifty management students from a premier Technical University in Malaysia were assigned to experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, students were given four problems to be solved and their solutions of the problems given were assessed in terms of their accuracy and quality. Students in the control group received conventional classroom instructional design. Results indicate that students in the experimental group have better problem solving skills (z: -4.220, p: 0.001 for accuracy and z: -2.594, p: 0.009 for quality) compared to those who were not exposed to the PBL approach. This finding substantiates the use of PBL as an effective instructional tool to improve students' problem solving abilities.

“…This step is to encourage students to discuss and sharing their idea to get the information (Ahamad et al, 2017). The proposed problem in PBL helps students to think critically (Abdullah et al, 2010;Padmavathy & Mareesh, 2013).…”

“…PBL is a bridge that connects theory and real-world application in a more environmentally friendly and familiar that enables students to acquire practical skills (Roh, 2003). According to previous research, it is known that PBL is effective in improving students' mathematical performance (Abdullah, Tarmizi, & Abu, 2010). It also has a positive impact on students' in learning mathematics (Ahamad, Li, Shahrill, & Prahmana, 2017;Botty, Shahrill, Jaidin, Li, & Chong, 2016).…”

Set theory has a wide role in mathematical concepts. Students have to understand the set theory before learning other concepts such as algebra and probability. This study aims to determine the effect of the problem-based learning (PBL) model on the students' mathematical representation in set theory topics. The method used in this study is a quasi-experiment design. The populations in this study were 289 students of 7th grade at Secondary School in Palembang. The sample of this study were students of class 7.8 (control group) and 7.10 (experimental group). Data were collected through tests, interviews, and documentation. Based on data analysis, known that PBL affects the students' mathematical representation. Students who had the PBL model get the better score of mathematical representation. They could use the symbol of set correctly, represent the set into Venn diagram correctly and they also could explain their answer. Furthermore, the implementation of the PBL model is offered.

“…Hasil analisis statistik yang menunjukkan bahwa Pembelajaran PBL tidak memberikan pengaruh pada kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa sejalan dengan hasil penelitian Fatimah (2012) maupun Abdullah et al(2010). Pada penelitian Fatimah (2010), rata-rata postes kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa kelas kontrol memperoleh nilai 80,17 sedangkan untuk kelas eksperimen atau kelas PBL adalah 79,62.…”

ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah mengkaji pengaruh pendekatan Problem Based-Learning (PBL) terhadap kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuasi eksperimen dengan Posttest-Only Design. Subjek penelitian adalah 36 siswa Kelas VII di salah satu Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) di Ternate. Siswa dikelompokkan berdasarkan kelas kontrol (pembelajaran konvensional) dan kelas eksperimen (pembelajaran berbasis masalah/PBL). Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah tes kemampuan awal matematis dan komunikasi matematis. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah uji Two Way Anova. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman siswa tentang konsep segitiga masih belum mendalam. Analisis data secara statistik menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran PBL tidak berpengaruh terhadap kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa (p = 0,370) dan kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa juga tidak dipengaruhi oleh kemampuan awal matematis (p = 0,732). Kata kunci: Problem Based-Learning, kemampuan komunikasi matematis, geometri ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to assess the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach on students' mathematical communication ability. The method used was quasi-experimental research with Posttest-Only Design. The subjects were 36 seventh grade students in one of Junior High Schools in Ternate. Students were grouped as control class (conventional learning) and experimental class (Problem Based-Learning / PBL). Research instruments were initial mathematical ability and mathematical communication test. The data was analyzed using Two Way ANOVA. Results showed that students' understanding of triangle concept was still not deep. Statistical analysis of the collected data showed that PBL effect on students' mathematical communication ability was insignificant (p = 0.370). Result also indicated that initial mathematical ability also has an insignificant effect on mathematical communication ability (p = 0.732).
