This research caused by the low ability of mathematical problems
solving student in junior high school 13 Pekanbaru. Purpose of this research are 1) to
determine the significance of the improvement of mathematical problems solving ability
(MPSA) of grade VII SMPN 13 Pekanbaru students through contextual approach (CA)
and through conventional learning (CL); and (2) to determine the difference of MPSA
increase of grade VII students of SMPN 13 Pekanbaru which is learned through CA and
through CL. The research method was experimental study with pretest and posttest
control group design. The population of this study was all of the students from grade
junior high school 13 Pekanbaru. The subject was divided into two groups, 7th-5 as

questions MPSA. Data are analyzed by using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Levene test, ttest,
and Mann Whitney U tes. The result showned that (1) there was significance of
improvement of MPSA of students through CA, (2) there was significance of
improvement of MPSA of students who learned through CL, and (3) improvement of
MPSA of students who are taught through CA is higher than students who are learned
through CL. The improvement of students' mathematical problem solving skills through
CA is categorized high while CL is categorized medium.
