Abstract
The objectives of this study were to: 1) compare students' mathematics problem-solving ability before and after learning through problem-based learning, 2) compare students' mathematics problem-solving ability after learning through PBL with the determined criterion set at 70%. and 3) assess students' satisfaction after learning problem-based learning. The sample of this study was 30 students in Grade 4(1classroom) from Sunshine Primary School, Zhongyuan District, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, which was derived by using cluster random sampling method. The research instruments were as follows: 1) the appropriateness of the lesson plans were based on PBL at very high level (M=4.60, SD= 0.54), 2) mathematics problem-solving ability test with a difficulty (p=0.40-0.77) and discrimination (r=0.20-0.40) with a reliability of .71, and 3) a student satisfaction questionnaire with a reliability of 0.73. The statistics used to analyze data were mean, standard deviation, t-test for dependent samples and t-test for one sample.
The results of this study were as follows:1) after using problem-based learning teaching method for the fourth grade, students' mathematics problem-solving ability (M=22.07, SD=1.38)are higher than before (M=15.4, SD= 1.59) with a statistically significant .01 level(t29=25.25, p= .001),2) students' mathematics problem-solving ability was higher than the 70% at a significance level of .01 (M=22.07, SD= 1.38 ,t29=4.37, P=.001) .`3) the students’ satisfaction after learning through problem-based learning teaching method was at (M=4.02, SD=0.72).
