Student’s Problem Solving Process Reviewed from Adversity Quotient in Problem Based Learning Assisted by Volumath Website

Abstract

Problem-Solving Ability (PSA) is one of the important competencies students must have. This study aims to describe students' problem-solving process based on their adversity quotient in Problem-Based Learning assisted by the Volumath website. The subjects of this study were students in class VIII F SMP Negeri 1 Jepon, who were selected using purposive sampling: 1 student in the climber category, 3 students in the camper category, and 1 student in the quitter category. The data collection techniques in this study were tests, questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis techniques were data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results showed that Problem-Based Learning assisted by the website produced variations in students' problem-solving abilities across different Adversity Quotient categories. Overall, students in the climber, camper, and quitter categories were able to carry out the orientation and planning phases well. Camper students with low PSA and quitter students with low PSA haven't performed optimally and need to be explored further in the execution phase. Meanwhile, camper students with medium PSA, camper students with low PSA, and quitter students with low PSA haven't performed optimally and need to be explored further in the review phase.
