Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving ability is one of the key goals of mathematics education and is taught from early childhood through higher education. In Indonesia, however, students’ skills in this area remain relatively low. Many struggle with non-routine tasks, particularly in linking the given information to the process of solving the problem. This study seeks to examine the role of the Schema-Based Instruction (SBI) approach in enhancing students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities. The research employs a literature review by analyzing and synthesizing information from existing articles. One common problem-solving technique involves drawing diagrams or creating schemes. Findings from the reviewed studies suggest that SBI can be effectively integrated into classroom practice to enhance students’ problem-solving skills. Through SBI, learners are guided to transform problem information into visual schemes, which aids their comprehension. Once they grasp the problem, they are better able to plan effective strategies for solving it. Therefore, SBI can serve as a valuable instructional method for teachers to apply in mathematics learning.
