Abstract

The development of science about learning has offered a variety of learning methods that can be used to improve student learning achievement. One of them is a problem solving method that can improve problem solving abilities. However, reality in schools, teachers still prefer to use the expository method. To apply the problem solving method at school needs to do research first. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether the problem solving method produces students'mathematics learning achievement that is better compared to the expository method. One of topics in math that students usually make errors is fraction, so this study attempt to discover the effect of problem solving and expository method on the topic of fraction. This study is semi-experimental. The population were seventh grade students of junior high school in Surakarta. Samples were recruited by using cluster random sampling technique. The samples are 2 classes with a total of 60 students, one class as an experimental class and the other class as a control class. Data collection methods used are documentation methods and test methods. The data analysis technique used is the t test. The results shows that problem solving learning methods provide learning achievements that are as good as expository learning methods on the topics of fraction.
