Core Learning Model and Mathematical Disposition, Against Mathematics Problem Solving Ability of Elementary School Students

Abstract

This research is aimed to reveal the effects of the core learning model and mathematical disposition model to problem-solving skills in elementary school. This research is experimental research with a 2x2 factorial design. The research sample is fourth-grade students, i.e., 44 persons. The instrument is the mathematical disposition and problem-solving skill instrument. The research result shows that the core learning model is a suitable mathematical learning model to develop mathematical problem-solving skills. The core learning model is more appropriately applied on a group of students with a high mathematical disposition. Meanwhile, the conventional model is more suitable to be applied on a group of students with a low mathematical disposition
