Abstract

The study aims to probe the potential of the RICOSRE learning model using descriptive-comparative study. To address issues on problem-solving, a learning model called RICOSRE by Mahanal and Zubaidah (2018) was implemented for 26 grade 10 students. Using a RICOSRE-based worksheet, respondents answered one problem by providing their answers to each six stages. The level of performance of the respondents was described as emerging (n = 26, x ̅ = 16.34). After running the Kruskal-Wallis test, it revealed that there is no significant difference in the performance of students among academic groups (χ² = 0.411, df = 2, p = .814) implying that there is no difference among the mean ranks of these three academic groups. The study also provided the performance level of students in every stage of RICOSRE. Researchers suggested that the RICOSRE learning model can be used in guiding students every step of the way in solving problems.
