Abstrak
The ability to solve mathematical problems is not only influenced by the application of the right learning model but also influenced by several factors, one of which is self-confidence. This study aims to examine the influence of problem-based learning on mathematical problem-solving ability from the perspective of student confidence. This type of research is an experiment. The population of this study is all students of class X. Two classes were taken as samples, namely class X.C and class X.D. Sample determination using purposive sampling technique. Research data was collected through observation sheets, questionnaires, and tests of students' mathematical problem-solving ability. The data analysis techniques in this study are descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. Based on the results of the descriptive analysis, it was found that the mathematical problem-solving ability of the experimental class students was higher, with an average score of 81.30 compared to the control class which had an average score of 74.77. The results of the inferential analysis obtained the conclusion that there is an influence of problem-based learning on mathematical problem-solving ability reviewed from the confidence of grade X students.
