Abstract

Most Indonesian students encounter difficulties when solving high-order thinking skills (HOTS) type of mathematics problems which require students to analyze and synthesize prior knowledge and relate it to new situations. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) in solving HOTS mathematics problems among high school students. We also examined whether students' level of motivation influence the ability of problem-solving skill as well as any interaction between learning models and study motivation on HOTS math type. A class intervention was conducted in one private Madrasa (Islamic High School) Mojokerto, Indonesia. A total of 59 students were divided into the intervention (PBL, n=29) and control (conventional learning, n=30) groups. Both groups had a similar topic on the linear system with three variables. The lessons were delivered by the same teacher twice a week, with a duration of 90 minutes per session within three weeks for each group. A two-way analysis of variance was performed to evaluate the data with the independent variables consisting of two models (PBL and non-PBL) and three levels of motivation (low, medium, and high).
