Abstract

One weakness that occurs in mathematics education is that many students do not know how to overcome a problem in real life related to mathematical problems. One reason is the learning approach used in the learning process lacks capability to develop mathematical problem solving abilities. The aim of this research is to know the ways to improve mathematical problem solving ability through cooperative learning with Quiz Team method in the fourth semester students undergraduate Mathematics Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Bengkulu. This research is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) with four steps, namely: Planning, Acting, Observing and Evaluating, and reflecting. The subjects of this study are 33 fourth semester class B students in the school year 2018/2019 of undergraduate Mathematics Education study program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Bengkulu. The results of the research show that cooperative learning with Quiz Team method can improve mathematical problem solving. The improvements of student^ mathematical problem solving are seen from the average test results obtained by the students, namely: in Cycle I is 70.909 and in Cycle II is 81.939.
