Students should be encouraged to achieve high order thinking skills, in which one of the ways to build the thinking skills is through solving mathematical problems. This study aimed to observe the effectiveness of a problem-based learning method and its effect on students’ perseverance in solving mathematical problems. The subjects of this research were science students at a Senior High School (SMAN) 2 Surabaya, Indonesia, selected with clustered random sampling. The research was conducted with an experimental design, and the problem-based learning method was applied in a Science 1 Class (experiment class), while a Science 4 Class was taught by following the conventional learning method designed by the teacher (control class), where the learning process was centered on the teacher and focused on the discipline. The instruments used in this research were the learning set for both learning methods, initial and final problem sets. The research results showed that the application of problem-based learning methods resulted in better learning outcomes. Moreover, the analysis of covariance showed that the application of a problem-based learning method is effective to develop students’ perseverance in solving mathematical problems.

Learning mathematics is essential as the subject does not only teach students about numbers and equations but also conducts their ability to think or know as a thinking skill. When learning mathematical problems, aside of learning to find a solution to the problems, the learning methods should also be able to encourage students to achieve high order thinking skills. Research has showed that students with high order thinking skills is likely to be more successful, whether in academic or in other work fields (RESNICK, 1987; SCHOENFELD, 1999; ZOHAR; DORI, 2003). However, the learning process in solving mathematical problems is affected by the learning methods applied by the teacher. Research by Prastiti et al. (2017), showed that learning methods with various problem types approach would improve students’ ability in problem-solving. Moreover, teachers who support and facilitate their students in finding and presenting the solution and/or the alternative solutions to the mathematical problem would improve their students’ thinking skills (HO; HEDBERG, 2005; PIMTA; TAYRUAKHAM; NUANGCHALERM, 2009).
The internal factors, such as learning motivation, would also affect the students’ ability in solving mathematical problems (PIMTA; TAYRUAKHAM; NUANGCHALERM, 2009), as motivation is correlated with the students’ positive attitudes toward the learning process. Research by Lerch (2004) showed that the students’ positive attitude in the form of perseverance would improve their problem-solving ability. Perseverance has been mentioned in one of the U.S. Standard of Mathematical Practices (SMPs), which the first practice is stated as: “Make sense of the problems and persevere in solving them” (USA, 2010). The students’ ability to persevere in solving mathematical problems was also increasingly expected, aside from constructing the mathematical justification and making sense of the problem (USA, 2010), in which a shift in the mathematics curriculum would be important (DAVIS et al., 2013). Furthermore, perseverance is an important attitude in solving mathematical problems, as the process requires a series of processes. Polya (1981) described that solving mathematical problems consisted of understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and is followed by looking back at the result.
The research on high order thinking skills for high school students in Indonesia showed an unsatisfying result, especially on the subject of mathematics (PRASTITI; TRESNANINGSIH; MAIRING, 2018; MAHENDRA, 2015; KURNIAWATI; DAFIK; FATAHILLAH, 2016; MAIRING, 2017). The condition thus demanded a suitable learning method to increase the students’ problem-solving ability, from which would arise higher order thinking skills for the student. The problem-based learning is one of the promising methods which has showed the capability to improve the students’ ability to solve mathematical problems (HO; HEDBERG, 2005; KING; GOODSON; ROHANI, 2016). In problem-based learning, the students’ learning process is oriented on the mathematical problems, discussing the solution in group, presenting the obtained solution, and finally drawing up the conclusions (ARENDS, 2012). In this study, we observe the application of problem-based learning methods in high school students in Surabaya, Indonesia. We observed the method's effectiveness regarding the learning outcomes and learning perseverance compared to the conventional learning method designed by the teacher, so we could find the feasibility of the method to be applied in the curriculum.
2 Methods
This research was done in 8 learning activities for each learning methods, from September to December 2018. A more detailed research conduction is as described in the following subsections.
2.1 Research Design
We used a quantitative approach with experimental research and covariance analysis (RUTHERFORD, 2001) in this research. The independent variable was the learning method (Xi), consisted of problem-based learning with regards in students’ perseverance (X1) and the practiced teacher-centered learning (conventional learning method) (X2). The dependent variable was the students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities, and the control variable (covariate) is the students’ initial problem-solving abilities (Aij). The experimental research with covariance analysis were aimed to elucidate the students’ problem-solving towards different learning methods in this research. The covariance analysis model is as follows:
yij=μ+Xi+βAij+ϵij
with i = 1,2 and j = 1,2,3…, total number of students in each class
2.2 Instruments
The instruments in this research were the learning sets in two learning methods (problem-based learning and conventional learning method), initial mathematical problem set, and final mathematical problem set.
The initial mathematical problem set is as follows:
In a geometric sequence, with the infinite geometric series of 1, the subtraction of the second term with the first term is −4/9, and the common ratio is positive, please define the formula for n-term in the sequence!
The final mathematical problem set is a trigonometry problem, and the questions are as follow:
Prove that −cosAsinA+sinAcosA=−2cos2A
On the ABC triangle it is known that cos A.cos B = sin A.sin B and cos A.cos B = sin A.sin B Define the shape of the ABC triangle and the degree of each angle.
Is there any other way to solve problem 2 (a)? If yes, please describe.
Andi and his friend went for a vacation in a village south of Malang city by car. On their way to the village, Andi realized that his car was nearly out of gas, then he decided to stop and looked at the map, searching for the closest gas station. The map showed that the closest gas station was located 10 km away at 30° (figure below).
Research question
Source: Prepared by the author
Andi brought his cell phone with the GPS feature which enabled him to go through the road or even through the meadow without worrying about getting lost. However, if they decided to go across the meadow and got too far away from the road, the GPS signal could be lost and they might end up getting lost anyway. Andi estimated that the remaining gas was only enough to take them as far as 12 km. In the end, the options they could take were only going through the meadow; only following the road; or driving following the road halfway and driving through the meadow for the rest of the remaining way. From the story above:
Which route should Andi take so that they do not get lost and arrive in the gas station? Please elaborate your answer.
If you were Andi's friend, please give an alternative route that Andi could take to arrive in the gas station. Please describe your answer.
2.3 Research Participants
The subjects of this research were students of a Science Class in SMAN 2 Surabaya Senior High School, Indonesia. Out of eight Science Classes in the school, two of the classes were the participants selected for the research through clustered random sampling. The result of clustered random sampling selected Science Class 4 for experiment class (X1), which applied the problem-based learning method; and Science Class 1 for the control class (X2), which applied the conventional learning method designed by the teacher (teacher-centered and discipline-focused learning approach). The total number of students in Science Class 1 and 4 were 39 and 40, respectively.
The problem-based learning in the experiment class was conducted in five steps, which were: (1) The teacher explains the aim of the study and motivate the students on the importance of the learning outcomes; (2) The teacher accompanies students to define and organize the given mathematical problems; (3) The teacher encourages students to gather information related to the mathematical problems and experiment on available problem-solving approaches; (4) The teacher form learning groups between the students to conduct their own mathematical problems and accompany them to solve the problem through discussion between students; and (5) The teachers help students reflect on and evaluate the conducted mathematical problems and its solution. In the control class, the conventional learning was conducted in the form of teacher-centered learning, where the teacher gives the lecture and the students exclusively listen and are expected to learn independently.
The problem-based learning method with regards to the students’ perseverance is considered effective if there is significantly more students who showed mathematical problem-solving ability in the experiment class compared to the control class.
2.4 Research Procedures
The research was conducted in 9 steps, which were deciding the research topic, conducting literature review to define the research questions, developing research hypothesis, determining research participants, developing research instruments, collecting the data, analyzing the data, and finally drawing up research conclusions (LODICO et al., 2006).
2.5 Data Collection
There were two types of data in this research, which were the students’ initial ability and final ability in solving mathematical problems. The first data was collected by giving out the initial mathematical problem set to the research participants before applying the learning methods. The second data was obtained by giving out the final mathematical problem set after applying the learning methods. The solutions found by the students were scored with a holistic rubric, in which the maximum score on each mathematical problem was 4.

The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The analysis assumed that the covariate was independent from other variables, non-normal distribution errors, and equal variances (RUTHERFORD, 2001). Two hypothesis groups were then drawn in this research, which were:
First hypothesis group:
H0:β = 0; There is no linear correlation between covariate to the problem-solving ability. H1:β ≠ 0; There is a linear correlation between covariate to the problem-solving ability.
Second hypothesis group:
H0:μX1=μX2; The average score between control and experimental class is equal.
H1:μX1=μX2; The average score between control and experimental class is different.
3 Results
In the problem-based learning, students were encouraged to conduct discussion and find the solution through teamwork consisting of 4-5 students. The teachers acted as motivators and provided scaffolding for each group. The result of discussion was then presented in front of the class regarding the different solutions or method to solve the given problems. In both classes, they were asked to do the same initial and final mathematical problem sets, and the given solution by the students were scored by using holistic rubric with the score ranging from 0 to 4. The result showed that the average total score for the students’ ability in solving the final mathematical problems were 8.20 for the treatment class and 7.75 for the control class. In problems 2b and 3b of the final problem set, the obtained average score was below the initial problem set, as students found difficulties in determining a different method to solve the problem as required (Table 2).

We also conducted the assumption test before testing the hypothesis. The initial students’ ability to solve mathematical problems (covariate) was obtained by giving out the same initial mathematical problem set in both experiment and control class, so that the covariate could be independent from the treatment. The assumption test showed that the first assumption was fulfilled.
The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for error normality resulted in p — value = 0.06 ≥ 0.05 = α, which showed that the error normality assumption was fulfilled (Figure 2). Furthermore, the Levene-test resulted in p — value = 0.806 ≥ 0.05 = α, which showed that the equal variances assumption was fulfilled (Figure 3). The result of the tested hypothesis is as follows:

The test on the first hypothesis to β (initial problem-solving ability coefficient) resulted in p — value = 0 < 0.05 = α. The result concluded that the H0 was rejected, which means that there was a linear correlation between covariate with the problem-solving ability at a 95% degree of confidence. The test on the second hypothesis to the treatment (learning methods) resulted in p — value = 0.0007 < 0.05 = α, which showed that the H0 was rejected. The test thus concluded that there was a significant difference to the problem-solving ability of both methods at a 95% degree of confidence. The overall research result thus showed that students who learn with problem-based learning method (experiment class) had better problem-solving abilities when compared to those who learned with the conventional method (control class).
4 Discussion
The research supported problem-based curriculum materials for mathematics learning (LI; LAPPAN, 2014), while Edson et al. (2019) added that the problem-based-curricula will provide an avenue for promoting deep mathematical understanding and reasoning. In this research, we observed the application of problem-based learning in high school students, and the result showed that the problem-based learning method is effective in improving the students’ mathematical problem-solving ability. Furthermore, Stein; Remillard; Smith (2007) added that the method would improve the students’ mathematical modelling, reasoning, and conceptual understanding aside from problem solving. The result is also in accordance to Sahrudin (2014) and Sari (2014), which showed that problem-based learning would improve the students’ problem-solving ability.
In this research, the conventional learning method practiced by the teacher was through teacher-centered and discipline-focused learning. Herbel-Eisenmann; Steele; Cirillo (2013) described that in the teacher-centered learning, instruction by the teacher continues to dominate mathematic classrooms, while Cazden (2001) added that students would experience few opportunities to share their ideas or ask questions in the teacher-centered learning. Although teachers may begin the class with open-ended questions, conventional learning discourse often shifts to a more traditional initiate-response-evaluate pattern, thus revealing the challenges the teacher experience in moving to open ended participation (CADY; MEIER; LUBINSKI, 2006; LARSSON; RYVE, 2012; LEIKIN; ROSA, 2006; TRUXAW; DEFRANCO, 2008). Other prior researches have shown that the approach to tackle problems faced by conventional teacher-centered learning is through supportive student inquiry teaching by the teachers (e.g., HUFFERD-ACKLES; FUSON; SHERIN, 2004; LEATHAM et al., 2015; SMITH; STEIN, 2011; STAPLES, 2007). These studies showed that with proper support, teachers can establish a classroom that fosters inquiry-based exploration of rich tasks (SULLIVAN et al., 2013). The problem-based learning then provides a solution to tackle the problems found in the conventional learning by providing a learning approach that focus on students inquiry towards mathematical problem-solving.
One of the early researches on problem-based learning was done by Polya (1973), which showed that the students’ ability to solve mathematical problems could be taught by imitating problems, which occurred in daily activities. In this research, mathematical problems inspired from daily activities were used to build the problem sets. However, building the problem set for problem-based learning in mathematics has its own challenge as well. The challenge includes making sense of understandings from a problem-based perspective on the teaching and learning of mathematics (ARBAUGH et al., 2006; COLLOPY, 2003; LESTER; CAI, 2016). The complexity of building mathematical problem sets in the problem-based learning method is allegedly caused by the unsatisfying result of the students’ ability to find an alternative solution to the problem. Choppin (2011), Lappan (1997), and Lubienski (1999) stated that teaching with problem-based curriculum materials places greater demands on the role of teaching mathematics. The result thus suggested that there should be preliminary learning activities which introduce students and teachers to problem-based learning. Research by Choppin (2011) has suggested that teachers also required support in their understanding “that not only included an articulation of the designers’ intent, the mathematics, and the task features, but also of how the task features afforded opportunities for students to engage with mathematical concepts. Research on designing a learning method from show-and-practice to problem-based learning has been done by Lappan et al. (1985).
In this research, we can see that students still found difficulties in finding alternative solutions to the given mathematical problems. This showed that the students did not have the high order thinking skill yet. However, the unsatisfying result is not surprising, as the high order thinking skill, which would let students grasp the subtlety of ideas, required time and persevering efforts. Lappan and Phillips (2009) mentioned that the time required to fully develop a particular mathematical idea, the extent to which students grasp the mathematical subtlety of ideas, and the degree to which students reach useful closure of the idea require careful consideration to the mathematical challenge and the positioning of the problem within a carefully sequenced set of problems. However, the condition might improve if the problem-based learning method is applied continuously, as the method can develop the students’ ability to think creatively (BAHAR; MAKER, 2015).
In the problem-based learning methods, teachers were suggested to act as motivators for the students, while also providing scaffolding if required. In this research, students became more motivated to find the solution for the mathematical problems, which resulted in better learning perseverance and outcomes. The research by Lerch (2004) and Pimta; Tayruakham; Nuangchalerm (2009) also showed that the students’ motivation would affect their learning outcomes, and that motivation from teachers would positively affect the students’ learning process. Moreover, Edson et al. (2019), added that teachers should support the students’ communication of mathematical ideas over problems, units, and grades. Support from teachers would motivate student and at the same time help teachers assess their students’ learning progress, since the problem-based learning with group model discussion would require more complex formative assessments as students interact and influence each other's thinking (WIRKALA; KUHN, 2011).
5 Conclusion
The application of problem-based learning methods was effective in improving the students’ ability to solve mathematical problems, while also improving their learning perseverance as well. The research showed that even though the high school students’ ability to solve mathematical problems were still unsatisfying, the application of a problem-based learning method gave them significantly better learning outcomes in comparison to the conventional method. The application to integrate problem-based learning method to the mathematics curriculum for high school student is then suggested.
