Problem-based learning and case-based learning: which is more effective for fostering mathematical connection?

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Case-Based (CBL) are two typical learning approaches that involve problem-solving activities, likely to encourage students' mathematical connection abilities. This study aimed describe the differences in ability between students studying with PBL those who used CBL approach. A quasi-experiment a pretest-post-test non-equivalent group design was conducted for purpose. The data collection method non-routine problems about connections. analyzed using inferential statistics. Paired sample t-tests adopted were examine difference pretest post-test each experimental class, independent verify effectiveness of approaches. results showed approach enhanced ability. However, there no significant studied results, furthermore, suggest teachers construct appropriate foster
