ENHANCING STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL LOGICAL THINKING ABILITY AND SELF-REGULATED LEARNING THROUGH PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING
ABSTRACT: This study was
intented to investigate the development of students’ mathematical logical
thinking ability and self-regulated learningthroughProblem-based Learning
(PBL). This study was a part of a master thesis and a sub-studyof a Postgraduate
Research Grant from DGHE in
2013. This study was a pre-testpost-testquasi-experimental control group
design involving 93 eleventh-gradestudents of a senior high school in Karawang
which were chosen puposively.The instrumentsof this study were an essay test on
mathematicallogical thinking, a self-regulated learning scale, and a scale
measuring students’ perception on PBL. The study revealed that students getting
treatment on PBL attained better grades on mathematical logical thinking
ability than students taught by conventional teaching, though the grades were
at low level. However, there was no difference in gradesof self-regulated
learning between students in the two groups though thegrades were fairly good.
Also, there was no correlation between mathematical logical thinking ability
and self-regulated learning with students’ positive opinions toward PBL.
