This research’s purpose is to improve the ability of student’s problem solving through the systematic approach to problem solving. The effort of problem solving performed by Classroom Action Research with the following stages: (1) planning, (2) the implementation of action that solving the problem by implementing the systematic approach to problem solving, (3) observation, and (4) reflection. Series of these activities is called a cycle and the activities performed in this study are two cycles. Data collected in this study were the data of student’s activities obtained by observation during the learning takes place using observation sheets and learning results data by provide test in each completed one cycle. Based on the results of the research during action showed an average 88.5% of students have the ability to solve problems and an increase in student activity from cycle I to cycle II, so that the average level of student mastery is 77.5% in fine categories. Thereby systematic approach to problem solving can improve problem-solving abilities of students in the course of wave.ensystematic approach to problem solvingproblem solving abilityWaveUR-Scientific Work Lecturer
