Subject specific pedagogic: Problem solving skill and character pre-teacher mathematics in Indonesia

Abstract

The main objective in this research is to learn how to solve students' problems and characters based on the Subject-Based Pedagogic (SSP) Statistics based on the character-loaded Heuristic Strategy developed. This discussion is a synergy of previous research as a new discussion which is the conception of development in achieving optimal problem solving and character. The method used is the final research and development with an experimental form. The instrument used was a test of problem solving abilities, questionnaires, character assessment, and assessment sheets, the results of the study were analyzed descriptive and inferential with logical and analytic reasoning. Based on the results obtained that the heuristic strategy through the collection of identification, planning, doing and checking is an alternative mathematical learning solution that is very powerful and potential in integrating characters as a learning scheme to be able to improve problem solving skills and develop students' character in containing the SSP. Significant differences occur in the problem solving process and the character of prospective students in Indonesia for those who use the SSP and those who do not. The SSP was improved with classical completeness by 95%.
