A focus on mathematical understanding and problem solving in math education has developed a need to implement alternate ways of testing to better assess the students' understanding and problem solving skills. Furthermore, previous computer-assisted problem-solving systems designed for elementary school mathematical education have focused mainly on developing students’ cognitive skills and less ...

This paper describes a 25-year project in which we defined problem solving, identified effective methods for developing students‘ skill in problem solving, implemented a series of four required courses to develop the skill, and evaluated the effectiveness of the program. Four research projects are summarized in which we identified which teaching methods failed to develop problem solving skill a...

Knowledge comprises facts, concepts and principles. Skills are categorized as either cognitive or motor skills, which are essential for solving problems. The acquisition of knowledge and skills is guided by instructions and by presenting problems to students. Firstly, the instructions for acquiring concepts, based on principles, are discussed and a model for teaching is presented. Further, the ...

Mathematical material will be easily understood through reasoning and that skills can trained mathematics learning. However, there are still many students who do not have good skills. This study aims to analyses the mathematical of class XI Senior High School on trigonometry in solving problems. research is a qualitative descriptive study. The participants this were 2 students, namely student 1...
