Ray Philpot

Computer-based assessment of problem solving allows problems of both static and interactive natures to be posed. Examples of static problems are scheduling and logic puzzles in which all relevant information is available to the solver at the outset. Problems of an interactive nature, on the other hand, require exploration of the situation to acquire additional knowledge needed to solve the problem. Examples include discovering how to use an unfamiliar mobile telephone or automatic vending machine. This study used data from the 2011 Field Trial of the PISA 2012 computer-based assessment of problem solving which comprised 34 static and 45 interactive …

Jurnal Penelitian dan Evaluasi Pendidikan

Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui kemampuan komunikasi matematis dan pemecahan masalah melalui Problem Based Learning (PBL). Populasi penelitian adalah mahasiswa STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat yang mengambil mata kuliah Statistika Elementer tahun akademik 2008/2009. Jenis penelitan adalah eksperimen semu dengan pretest-postest control group design. Kelompok eksperimen diberi perlakuan berupa pembelajaran dengan model Problem Based Learning dan kelompok kontrol dengan pembelajaran biasa. Data dikumpulkan melalui worksheet, rubrik presentasi, assesmen investigasi dan tes hasil belajar Statistika Elementer. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa 1) kemampuan komunikasi matematis mahasiswa dengan menerapkan model PBL dalam pembelajaran Statistika Elementer tidak lebih baik dibandingkan dengan pembelajaran biasa, …
