ANALISIS SELF- CONCEPT SISWA SMA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA MELALUI MODEL PROBLEM BASED LEARNING

Abstract

This study explores students' self-concept in mathematics learning using the Problem
Based Learning model. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data were
obtained through interviews with teachers and students filling out questionnaires. The
results of the analysis showed that the implementation of Problem Based Learning had a
positive impact on students' self-concept. Students showed a higher interest in
mathematics, actively asked questions, and felt close to the material. Although there
were still students with negative views, Problem Based Learning brought positive
changes in students' understanding and views of mathematics. The analysis of students'
self-concept involved dimensions of knowledge, expectations, and assessments.
Students rated their mathematics abilities at a moderate level, but still had a desire to
achieve a higher ideal self-image. Although there was a decrease in views on the
relationship between abilities possessed and ideal abilities, the overall self-concept
score was still in the moderate category. The results of this study indicate that Problem
Based Learning can be an effective tool in shaping students' self-concept towards
mathematics.
