Abstract This study aims to improve the learning process and improve mathematical critical thinking skills of students of class X IPA-2 SMA Negeri 1 Salo on trigonometric material through the application of Problem Based Learning (PBL) models. This research is a Class Action Research (CAR) which consists of two cycles. The subjects of this study were students of class X IPA-2 SMA Negeri 1 Salo in the academic year 2017/2018 as many as 32 students consisting of 21 female students and 11 male students. Data collection instruments in this study were observation sheets, guidelines for scoring mathematical critical thinking skills, tests and documentation. Data collection techniques in this study are observation techniques and test techniques. The data analysis technique in this study is the analysis of data from the observation and analysis of test results data. The results of this study indicate that there is an improvement in the learning process and an increase in mathematical critical thinking skills of students of class X IPA-2 SMA Negeri 1 Salo. This can be seen from the percentage of students' critical thinking skills before the action and after the action, namely cycle I and cycle II. Before the action, the average percentage of students' critical thinking skills at 60.93% is on the less critical criteria. After being given an action, it increased to 73.82% with a critically sufficient criterion at the end of cycle I and increased to 85.35% at the end of cycle II which reached critical criteria. So it can be concluded that the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model can improve the learning process and improve the ability to think critically mathematically in the tenth grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Salo in the academic year 2017/2018.

Mathematics education students’ ability on developing evidence needs to be reviewed by lecturers. 50% of the subjects in the mathematics education departement require students' accuracy in analyzing mathematical statements. This is increasingly important because the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI) for the Bachelor level requires graduates to become technicians / analysts. The diversity of levels of students’ ability, gender, and learning styles are assumsed to be the discrepancy abilities to develop evidence. This study aims to describe the evidence developing ability based on the levels of achievement, gender, and student learning styles. The subjects of this study were abstact algebra students in the mathematics education department. Type of this research was descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques using test and non-test techniques. Students were given five questions about abstact algebra that demanded the evidence developing ability. The achivement levels and gender were obtained from students’ academic achievement data. The learning styles were attained from questionnaires. The results of the study is higher the students’ academic achievement, better the evidence developing ability on Abstract Algebra.

The Abstract Algebra is one of the most difficult subjects for students. In this course, students are required to have several textbooks as their reading source. However, the existing textbooks do not guide students in carrying out the process of preparing evidence and tend to speak non-Indonesian languages. The purpose of this research is to design and develop textbooks on abstract algebra courses which contain proofs in full step by step that can improve the ability to organize evidence. This type of research is development research with formative evaluation design consisting of self-evaluation, prototyping (expert reviews, one-to-one, and small groups), and field tests. The validity of the development of abstract algebra textbook is passed through the stages of self-evaluation and expert reviews. The results showed that the prototype of abstract algebra teaching books had a very high level of validity (89.29%).
