Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mathematics(IOSR-JM) - Year 2018, Vol 14, Issue 3
Abstract
Critical thinking is one of the important indicators for students to be competing in the world of work and personal life, students must have the ability to solve problems and must be able to think critically. One effort to improve critical thinking skills, especially in math lessons is to implement problem-solving learning. This article describes the implementation of problem-solving learning in improving students' critical thinking skills of grade VIII SMP Negeri 5 Bulukumba obtained through classroom action research that is conducted for 2 cycles with the result that with the application of learning problem solving can improve the ability of critical thinking as seen from the indicators the success of 35 people or 87.5% of students have completed learning mathematics and as many as 5 people or 12.5% of students have not finished learning math. In addition, the activity of students in the learning process also achieved the success indicator that overall there is 70.5% in the first cycle increased to 88.5% in cycle II and the implementation of learning (the ability of teachers in managing class and student activities) increased in the same category the good category.
