This research was motivated by the low mathematical problem-solving abilities of students at Batanghari 15 State Junior High School, Jambi. This research aims to determine the effect of the Learning Cycle 7e learning model on students' mathematical problem abilities at Batanghari 15 State Junior High School. This research uses the quasi-experimental method, using a post-test-only control design. There are two groups, each of which is chosen randomly. The population of this research is all students in class VIII of Batanghari 15 State Junior High School for the 2023/2024 academic year, totalling 90 students and divided into four classes. In this research, the sample used was 50 students divided into two classes (experimental and control classes). The sample was determined using the Random Sampling technique. The data collection techniques used in this research were observation and mathematical problem-solving tests. This research indicates that the Learning Cycle 7e learning model is more effective in influencing problem-solving abilities than the direct learning model.
