Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the relationship between self-confidence and mathematical problem-solving ability in finding solutions to linear equations among junior high school students. This study utilizes a qualitative approach with a correlational design. The subjects of this study are the 32 students of class VIII D at SMP Negeri 12 Pontianak. The instruments are used including a self-confidence questionnaire and a test on the ability to solve problems related to linear equations. Data analysis employs the Pearson Product Moment correlation. The data shows that the students of class VIII D have a good level of self-confidence in learning mathematics. The majority of these students also possess good mathematical problem-solving abilities. Based on the calculation of the Pearson Product Moment correlation, the obtained correlation coefficient (r-value) between self-confidence and mathematical problem-solving ability for the students of class VIII D at SMP Negeri 12 Pontianak is 0.366, indicating a low correlation. However, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between self-confidence and mathematical problem-solving ability, implying that an increase in self-confidence tends to correspond with an improvement in students' problem-solving skills.

Abstract

This research adopted a pretest–posttest control group experimental design. The primary objective was to investigate the impact of implementing Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) approach on students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities and mathematical communication skills within the context of matrix learning. The population consisted of all 11th-grade students at SMAN 8 Pontianak (N=280), with two classes selected through probability sampling as the experimental and control groups. Data were collected using essay tests, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using independent samples t-tests, Mann-Whitney tests, and effect size analyses. The findings indicated statistically significant differences between the experimental and control groups (p0.05). Specifically, the experimental group achieved a mean post-test score 20.21% higher than the control group in problem-solving and 36.41% higher in mathematical communication. Strong effect sizes (d=1.84 and r=1.34) further demonstrate that ESD-oriented PBL substantially improved students’ competencies compared to conventional methods.
