Abstract
The ability to solve problems and self-determination of junior high school students in West Bandung Regency is still low, so various alternative solutions are needed to overcome them. This study aims to determine the improvement of problem solving ability and self-determination of class VIII students by using ASSURE design (Analyzing student characteristics; State standards and goals; Choosing methods, media and materials; Utilizing media and materials; Requiring student participation; and Evaluating and revising) based on his learning style. This study used an experimental method and one group pretest post-test design. the sample is class VIII students selected by purposive sampling at one of the junior high schools in West Bandung Regency. The instrument of this study used a descriptive test of 5 questions about problem solving ability and 30 scales of student self-determination attitudes. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that: Improving problem solving ability and student self-determination using ASSURE learning design is suitable for all types of student learning styles (auditory, visual and kinesthetic).
