Abstract

This qualitative descriptive research aims to describe students’ mathematical problem solving abilities based on Polya indicators in solving social arithmetic problem in terms of self-efficacy. The research subjects were 4 students in class VII of SMP Negeri 4 Gunungsari for the 2022/2023 academic year, consisting of 2 students in the high category and 2 students in the low category. Data collection techniques using questionnaires, tests dan interveiws. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions.
