Abstract

This study investigates fifth-grade students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities based on their Adversity Quotient (AQ) types and identifies error patterns across Polya’s problem-solving stages. Employing a descriptive qualitative design, the research was conducted at Keputran 2 Elementary School, Yogyakarta, involving 24 purposively selected students. Data were obtained through the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) questionnaire and a mathematical problem-solving test. The AQ results categorized students into four climbers, seven campers, and thirteen quitters. One student from each AQ type was further analyzed through their written responses. Findings revealed that climber-type students successfully completed all stages of Polya’s framework, demonstrating perseverance and accuracy yet showing limited reflective evaluation. Camper-type students completed all stages inconsistently, particularly in verifying their results. Quitter-type students were unable to complete the stages, displaying conceptual and procedural misconceptions. The study concludes that differentiated instructional strategies are essential: quitters benefit from contextualized tasks and extrinsic motivation; campers require scaffolded feedback; and climbers need challenging problems to foster deeper reflection. These insights emphasize the pedagogical importance of integrating AQ-based differentiation to enhance mathematical problem-solving competence among elementary students.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving skills remain a persistent challenge for elementary students, partly due to the lack of contextual learning approaches that connect mathematics with local culture. However, limited empirical evidence examines whether integrating local wisdom into learning models can enhance students’ problem-solving performance across gender. This study aimed to analyze the effect of Discovery Learning integrated with Lampung local wisdom on students’ mathematical problem-solving skills and to examine whether this effect differs by gender. Using a quasi-experimental 2×2 factorial design, this study involved 41 fifth-grade students at a public elementary school in Pesisir Barat Regency, selected through random sampling. Data were collected using a validated problem-solving test and analyzed using two-way ANOVA. The results indicated that: (1) the learning model had a significant effect on problem-solving skills, (2) there was no significant difference between male and female students, and (3) no interaction effect was found between learning model and gender. These findings highlight the effectiveness of culturally integrated Discovery Learning in improving students’ mathematical problem-solving skills in an inclusive manner. The study contributes to the growing literature on culturally responsive mathematics instruction and encourages educators to use local-wisdom-based approaches to support equitable 21st-century skill development.
