Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to determine the relationship between gender and student learning motivation on students' mathematical connection abilities in solving problems on circle material. Mixed method research design applied in this study. The subjects of this study were 34 class VIII students of SMPN 1 Bengkulu City. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive random sampling. Data collection techniques used mathematical connection ability test questions, learning motivation questionnaires, and interviews. The chi-square test does hypothesis testing. The results showed: (1) there was no significant relationship between gender and students' mathematical connection abilities, (2) a significant relationship between learning motivation and students' mathematical connection abilities with a correlation index in the medium category. The results of this study also show that male students with high learning motivation have high mathematical connection abilities on all indicators. In contrast, female students with high learning motivation have higher mathematical connection abilities when connecting mathematical concepts.    Keywords: mathematical connection ability, learning motivation, mixed method research. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara jenis kelamin dan motivasi belajar siswa terhadap  kemampuan koneksi matematis siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal pada materi lingkaran. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian campuran. Subjek penelitian ini yaitu 34 orang siswa kelas VIII SMPN 1 Kota Bengkulu. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposive random sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan soal tes kemampuan koneksi matematis, angket motivasi belajar, dan wawancara. Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara jenis kelamin terhadap kemampuan koneksi matematis, (2)  terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara motivasi belajar terhadap kemampuan koneksi matematis siswa dengan indeks korelasi pada kategori sedang. Hasil Penelitian ini juga menunjukkan siswa laki-laki dengan motivasi belajar tinggi memiliki kemampuan koneksi matematis yang tergolong tinggi pada semua indikator sedangkan pada siswa perempuan dengan motivasi belajar tinggi memiliki kemampuan koneksi matematis lebih tinggi pada indikator menghubungkan antarkonsep matematika Kata kunci: kemampuan koneksi matematis, motivasi belajar, penelitian metode campuran.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v23i4.pp1683-1699
