Abstract

The purpose of this research study is to study the mathematics problem-solving ability of grade 10th students in the industrial program of Sarapeepittayakom School that learn by the STAR strategy. The target group is 22 grade 10th students in the industrial program of the second semester of 2019. Research instruments consist (1) 8 lesson plans provisioned by using the STAR strategy on the topics of Area and Volume using 4 steps which are step 1 S (Search the Word Problem), the step of studying the problem and identifying the data from the problem; step 2 T (Translate the Problem), the step of transforming the information contained in the problem; step 3 A (Answer the Problem), the step of finding the solution to the problems; and step 4 R (Review the Solution), the step of reviewing the answer or considering the reasonableness of the answer. The problems used in these learning plans are 14 problems relating to industrial technicians. (2) The pretest and posttest of mathematics problem-solving ability that require students to show their work. The study results indicated that the students have the mathematics problem-solving ability at a good level after the learning provisioned by using the STAR strategy with an average score of 74.09%, which is higher than pre-test. The best fields of mathematics problem-solving ability are understanding the problem, solving the problems, devising the plan, and operating to solve the problems which are at an excellent level, followed by finding the solution and checking the result, respectively. 90.91% of students are able to do more than 50%. The problems that students can solve the most are determining the number of queues of ready mixed concrete, finding the cost of buying tiles, land reclamation contracting, and comparing length measurement units, respectively.
