This study is quasi-experimental research that aims to determine the influence of problem-solving methods on students' mathematics learning outcomes. The teaching method as an independent variable consisted of: 1)problem-solving methods in the treatment group; and 2) a lecture in the comparison group. Students' mathematicslearning outcomes were a response variable. The population was all first-class students of SMA Negeri 13 Makassar. A sample of 78 students was obtained using a cluster random sampling technique. The data collection was effected by giving them a mathematics achievement test conducted at the end of the experiment. Data analysis techniques used analysis of variance with one factor. Results of the variance analysis showed that the learning outcomes of students who are taught mathematics through problem-solving method is better than students' mathematics learning outcomes taught through via the lecture method. © 2017 WIETE.
