Mathematics problem solving skill acquisition: Learning by problem posing or by problem solving
journal contribution
posted on 2020-03-31, 09:25 authored by E Retnowati, Y Fathoni, Ouhao ChenOuhao ChenProblem posing is an instructional method where students are asked to create problems based
on the given information, then solve them. While in an instructional method of problem solving, students
learn by solving given problems. The aim of this study was to test: (1) the differences of efficacy between
learning by problem posing and the problem solving method of individual and small group instruction
strategies; (2) the interaction effect of learning methods and grouping strategies.With regard to the
independent variables, problem solving skill or cognitive load, a quasi experiment with post-test-onlynon-equivalent control group design was used. Year 7 contextual mathematics problems were tested
in this experiment, and one hundreds students, who had sufficient prior knowledge, participated. A 2
by 2 anova was employed for data analysis. The results showed that: (1) problem posing method was
significantly more effective than problem-solving method; (2) there was no significant difference in
efficacy between individualized instruction and small group instruction strategies; (3) the interaction
between learning methods and grouping strategies, where it is more likely that learning problem posing
was better than problem solving for individual instruction.
