6. Concluding Remarks and Recommendations
Such results could be considered in the new approach used in the problem solving-mathematics classroom that
drives the problem solving activities. The students can selves regulate to do problem solving activities. The open
approach can shift the mathematics classroom to change differently from the traditional classroom in which the
teachers are the center and students only practice and drill, whereby the new students create the problems and
problem solving strategies by themselves. Interestingly, therefore, cultural and social context in the problem
solving-mathematics classroom influencing students’ authentic experiences through the problem solving should be
searched for further studies.
