Abstract
Problem solving skills are urgently needed in everyday life and teachers should train in this global era. One of the models that can train problem solving skills is problem based learning (PBL) model. PBL model still has some weaknesses. Students find difficulties in the learning, the result of learning concept is still low and students difficult to develop problem solving skills without the guidance and direction of teacher. The results obtained during the learning process are problem solving skills still low (57%) and learning process using the PBL model found some weaknesses, namely: teachers guiding students to find real problems (26%) and trained problem solving skills (30%). Therefore it is necessary to develop a learning model that can effectively train problem solving skills during the learning process and the end of result. The learning model developed is SEA-MEA Â model. The theory of self efficacy academic (SEA) and means ends analysis (MEA) underlies the development of the SEA-MEA Â model. The MEA strategy can make it easier for students to solve problems and self efficacy can motivate and find real problems in learning. This innovative learning model is expected can train problem solving skills in a practical, valid and effective.
