Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Matematika Berbasis Teknologi untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Siswa di MIN 1 Pasaman Barat

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to improve students' problem-solving 
skills in mathematics at MIN 1 Pasaman Barat through the application of 
technology-based learning models. The study was initiated due to the observation 
that many students struggled with problem-solving tasks and lacked engagement in 
traditional learning methods. Technology-based learning was chosen as an 
innovative approach to enhance students' interest and skills in mathematics. The 
research was conducted in two cycles, each involving planning, implementation, 
observation, and reflection. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test 
assessments to evaluate the improvement in students' problem-solving abilities. 
Results indicated a significant improvement in students' problem-solving skills, as 
evidenced by the higher post-test scores compared to the pre-test. Additionally, 
students demonstrated increased engagement and motivation to participate in 
learning activities. This research suggests that integrating technology into 
mathematics instruction can be an effective strategy to improve problem-solving 
skills, enhance learning outcomes, and foster a more interactive learning 
environment. Based on the findings, it is recommended that MIN 1 Pasaman Barat 
continue to explore and apply technology-based learning methods to further 
improve students’ academic performance in mathematics.
