IMPROVING OF PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THROUGH APPLICATION OF TPS BASED ON E-LEARNING IN MATHEMATICS LESSON

ABSTRACT

Following the development of learning technologies including the use of e-learning is a necessity. For developed countries, the use of e-learning is clearly not a problem. But for developing countries such as Indonesia, the use of e-learning is a separate problem. These problems are related to the need to fulfill the educational facilities such as electricity networks, the internet, the purchasing power of the people/students, and human resource capacity. Apart from school readiness to provide all the facilities and infrastructure at any school, this paper studies about the growth of Senior High School (SHS) students’ skills in problem solving through the application of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) based on e-learning in mathematics lesson. When the expected results can fulfill the wishes of the people, then the use of e-learning is expected to reduce pro and contra in Indonesian society about the use of e-learning in the learning activities, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia.

Key Words: Think-Pair-Share, e-learning, mathematics learning.
