Abstract

Problem-solving is an important ability that students must have in learning physics. Contextual learning is closely related to students’ problem-solving abilities. The ability to connect the content of the material studied with the real context of the surrounding world can stimulate students’ problem-solving abilities. This research aims to provide an overview of the profile of problem-solving abilities and physics and implementing contextual learning on optical instrument material. The participants in this research were 63 students in class XI SMA Negeri 1 Ngaglik, Yogyakarta. This research uses analyzed using qualitative descriptive method. The data collection instruments used were problem-solving ability tests and learning observation sheets. Problem-solving ability is calculated per aspect according to Polya. The results of the research showed that the ability to understand problems was classified as enough at 67.28, planning the strategy to solve the problem was classified as very low 47.56 to implement the strategy as well as review and check was classified as enough at 69.56. The implementation of contextual learning is influenced by prior knowledge and basic abilities. Therefore, to train problem solving skills through contextual learning, teachers must ensure student readiness.
