%U http://eprints.uny.ac.id/11513/
%X The  quality  of  mathematics  education  in  Indonesia  is  still  low.  This  is  at  least   acquired  from  the  attainment  of  the  students  of  Indonesia  participating  in   international assessments, such as PISA and TIMSS. Some of the main causes are   mathematics  learning  that  is  poorly  related  to  the  contexts  of  living  that  students   experience.  In  addition,  teacher  lacks  facilitating  students  in  problem  solving   activities.  Therefore,  teacher  needs  to  familiarize  students  with  PISA  and  TIMSS   like questions in mathematics learning and teach them the process and strategies of   solving  problem.  Within  this  article,  it  is  given  an  alternative  problem  solving   process  for  PISA  and  TIMSS  like  questions  with  4  (four)  stages,  along  with  12   (twelve)  core  strategies  of  problem  solving  and  other  strategies  that  can  also  be   taught to students.
