The mathematics learning outcomes of accounting study program students in Bandung are still low. For this reason, efforts are needed to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of accounting study students in Bandung. One of the efforts that was taken was by increasing the ability of students' mathematical connections. In order for students' mathematical connection capabilities to increase, an alternative learning is needed namely learning using a problem-solving approach. The population in this study were students of study program in Bandung, while the sample in this study was the first semester students at Widyatama University who were randomly selected according to class. The instrument used in this study is a mathematical connection ability test in the form of a description, and a Likert scale of student attitudes. From the results of the test of the mathematical connection ability test, it was found that the test had high reliability. The validity of the item is high, the distinguishing power is quite good, and the difficulty level is moderate. Based on the results of the analysis of research data, it is known that students who obtain learning with a problem-solving approach have better connection capabilities when compared to students who obtain conventional learning. In general, student responses are positive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
