Problem solving process skills in mathematics among 2nd year education students of UM Panabo College

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the level of problem solving process skills in Mathematics among 2nd year Education students of UM Panabo College. The independent variable of the study was problem solving process skills with the indicators of understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan and looking back. On the other hand, the moderating variable of this study was major. The researchers used descriptive design method in determining the number of respondents and the statistical tools used in the study were Mean and T-test. The result of the computation using F-value is 12.515 associated with the P-value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05 level of significance. Thus, it was found out that there is significant difference in problem solving process skills when students are grouped and analyzed by major.
