Abstract

This study is motivated by the fact that students' mathematical problem solving abilities in junior high school are low. The purposes of this study are therefore (1) to find out whether there is a difference in mathematical problem solving abilities improvements between students who acquired learning using Modify-Action, Process, Object, Schema (M-APOS) learning model and those who acquired learning using Problem Based Learning (PBL) model; (2) to know students' response toward mathematics learned using M-APOS learning model and PBL model. The research method was quasi experimental method with non-equivalent control group. Study population was all seventh graders of a junior high school in Bandung for the academic year 2014/2015 and the samples for this study were students from two classes at the school in which one class was M-APOS class and the other class was PBL class. The study data were derived from mathematical problem solving abilities test, questionnaires and observation forms. The results showed that (1) there is a difference in improvements in mathematical problem solving abilities between students who acquired learning using M-APOS learning model and those who acquired learning using PBL model; (2) almost all students from both sample classes show positive response toward mathematics learned using both M-APOS learning model as well as PBL model
