This research aimed to develop and study the effectiveness of an instructional process based on authentic learning to enhance mathematical problem-solving abilities of elementary school students in Phetchaburi. This research and development based study was divided into 2 phases; the first phase comprised the instructional process development based on authentic learning, while the second phase consisted of the instructional process experiment. The sample group comprised 62 students divided into two groups, with 32 students in the experiment group and 30 students in the control group. The tool used for data collection was an assessment form for mathematical problem-solving ability. The result show that 1) The developed instructional process consists of 6 steps: set a real life situation, study the data of a given situation, putting into action and solve the problem by using a group process, discuss and share solutions, conclude and form problem-solving framework, and, finally, extend knowledge to embrace further implications 2) The experiment group indicated a higher average score in mathematical problem-solving ability in posttest than did the control group, at significance level of .05.
