- Abstract
This research was conducted because the students' mathematical problem solving ability in secondary school is low. The goal of this research is to examine the enhancement of student mathematical problem solving ability after students learned using the CORE Model. The research method of this research was quasi experimental method. Population used in this research was all eight graders in a public secondary school in Bandung. The purposive sampling technique was used to derive at samples of two classes categorized into experimental and control classes. The experimental class learned using the CORE Model, while the control class learned using the conventional model. Data analysis was done by comparing the improvements in mathematical problema solving abilities between the experimental class and the control class through a series of tests examined statistically and analyzed using average normalized gain. Student's responses were assessed by means of questionnaires, observation sheets and interviews. The results showed that CORE Model was able to improve the problema solving ability as the average grade for the experimental class is higher tan that of the control class. Furthermore, students showed positive responses toward the CORE Model
