Abstract
This study aims to obtain an overview of the adaptive reasoning abilities of students who get mathematics learning through the Problem Based Learning approach with Probing-Prompting techniques compared to students who get conventional learning. The subjects in this study were eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Lembang, West Bandung Regency. The problems underlying this research include the adaptive reasoning ability of students in Indonesia is still low so innovation is needed in learning that can develop students adaptive reasoning abilities. This research is a quasi-experimental research. Data obtained through research instruments in the form of tests and non-tests. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively. Quantitative analysis was performed by calculating the N-gaint using the normality test, and the Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed an increase in students adaptive reasoning abilities in both groups, an increase in the adaptive reasoning abilities of students who obtained mathematics learning through the Problem Based Learning approach with Probing- Prompting is better than students who get conventional learning.
