Abstract

In the 21st century, education focused on equipping students with abilities for lifelong learning and self-development, one of which was problem-solving ability. This ability was crucial in preparing students to solve real-life problems. The SAVI (Somatic, Auditory, Visual, Intellectual) learning model was one of the instructional models that could enhance students' mathematical problem-solving ability and could be integrated with technology use. This study aimed to examine the effect of the SAVI learning model assisted by multimedia on students' mathematical problem-solving ability. This research was a quasi-experimental study using the non-equivalent posttest only control group design. The sample consisted of classes X-1 and X-2 from a public high school in Magelang. The sample was selected by random sampling technique. The data obtained were processed using Independent Sample t–test and effect size. The results of the data analysis showed that there was a significant difference in students' mathematical problem-solving ability between the control and experimental groups. In addition, an effect size of 0.7 was obtained, indicating that the SAVI learning model assisted by multimedia had a large impact on mathematical problem-solving ability. This study recommended broader implementation and exploration in other subjects to enhance learning effectiveness.

Abstract

The quality of understanding and problem-solving abilities are essential components in mathematics learning. Understanding serves as a foundation for students to comprehend mathematical concepts, while the ability to solve problems allows students to use their knowledge in everyday contexts. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between students’ quality of understanding and their problem-solving ability through a systematic literature review. The review focuses on how instrumental and relational understanding influence students’ effectiveness in solving mathematical problems. The search process was conducted using Harzing’s Publish or Perish software with Google Scholar and Scopus as the primary databases, limited to studies published between 2014 and 2025, resulting 30 relevant articles. The findings demonstrate a consistently positive relationship, where relational understanding contributes more strongly to effective and flexible problem-solving than instrumental understanding, especially in non-routine tasks. This review offers a clearer comparison of the relative roles of instrumental and relational understanding in supporting problem-solving, which has not been explicitly emphasized in earlier studies. Additionally, factors such as learning style, prior knowledge, reasoning skills, gender, emotional intelligence, and adversity quotient were identified as complementary influences that shape both understanding and problem-solving performance.
