Abstract—Problem-based Learning (PBL) is one of recommended learning models in
implementation of curriculum 2013. PBL provides opportunities for students to
construct knowledge, and enhance their thinking skills through the filling
of a problem as the starting point of learning process. Problems in PBL
requires students to regain access to prior knowledge that lead students to
think deeply. Thinking is infused in PBL when students plan, generate
hypothesis, employ multiple perspective, and work through facts and ideas
systematically. Problem resolution also involves logical and critical analysis,
use analogies and divergent thinking, and creative integration and synthesis.
Thinking Activities are needed by students, especially for understanding
difficult math materials. One of math material that need student’s thinking is
calculus. It consist of limit, derivative, and integral of function. Not only a
lot of students that have difficulties to learn calculus, but also teachers.
They have difficulties in how to teach this material. Therefore, PBL is the
most suitable method that can be an
alternative to teach calculus. In conclusion, PBL activities in the classroom
will foster student’s higher-order thinking skill.
