The Role of MathCityMap in Improving Mathematical Problem-Solving Skill

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the mathematics learning process using MathCityMap application to improve math problem-solving skills. The study was conducted in a quasi-experiment method with a post-test only control design. The data population of the study is elementary school students in Karangsalam, Baturraden subdistrict. The random cluster selection technique was used to determine the sample group data of this study. Data analysis performed using an independent t-test formula. The results show a significance value of 0.000 (less than 0.05). Based on the observations of student's problem-solving skill, the scores for the indicator of problem understanding were 92.86, problem planning 91.07, problem solving 82.14, and re-checking 80.95. The study concluded that MathCityMap has a positive impact on elementary school student's math problem-solving skills, particularly on the indicator of understanding the problem. It is recommended for elementary school teachers use the MathCityMap in teaching mathematics to improve student's math problem-solving skill.
