Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effect of applying a contextual approach to students' critical thinking skills in mathematics on cube and beam material. This research is a quasi-experimental quantitative research design with pretest-posttest control group design. The population in this study were eighth-grade students at Junior High School of  St. Thomas 1 Medan. The sample in the study was selected by random sampling consisting of the experimental class (VIII-D) and the control class (VIII-E). The pretest and posttest results were analyzed using the normality and homogeneity test and the results showed that the samples were normally distributed and homogeneous. Furthermore, a correlation and regression test was conducted to describe the relationship between contextual approaches and students' critical thinking skills. Based on correlation and regression analysis, the results obtained that the application of the contextual approach has a positive effect with the correlation coefficients of the experimental class and the control class respectively 0.914 and 0.860 and the coefficient of determination is 83.5% and 73.9% respectively. So that the application of a contextual approach has a better effect on students' critical thinking skills compared to conventional learning. Based on the results of the calculation of the test of the difference in the two average mathematical critical thinking skills obtained by tcount = 2.113 > ttable = 1.99, then the hypothesis Ho is rejected. So it is concluded that the average increase in critical thinking skills of students who get learning with contextual approaches is higher than students who get conventional learning.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) learning model on students' critical thinking skills in the material relations and functions and student responses to the CPS learning model. This research is a quasi-experiment. The results of the study obtained a regression equation Y = 62.1621 + 15.7094X with a coefficient of determination of 23% which indicates that there is a positive influence. The average value of mathematical critical thinking abilities of students who take part in the learning with the CPS model is 77.87, while expository learning is 62.16. Analysis of student responses to the CPS learning model was obtained: (1) 97.3% expressed interest in the CPS learning model and 2.7% expressed no interest; (2) A total of 98.2% stated that there were benefits obtained by students using the CPS learning model and 1.8% stated that there were no benefits obtained; (3) A total of 90.74% stated that there were no obstacles experienced during the learning process using the CPS learning model and 9.26% stated that they experienced problems; (4) 96.22% expect that the CPS learning model is used in the learning process and 3.78% do not expect to be used. So, it was concluded that the student response was very positive towards the CPS learning model because the percentage that stated the agreement was 95.62% greater than the one who expressed disagreement namely 4.38%.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to look at the effect of realistic mathematics learning on students 'reasoning abilities and to determine students' responses to mathematics learning with realistic mathematical approaches and their relation to mathematical reasoning abilities. This research was conducted at YPAK Galang of Junior High School at 2017/2018 Academic Year. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental method with the design of Non Equivalent Control Group Design. The sample in this study was 64 students consisting of 32 students for the experimental group and 32 students for the control group. The data analysis technique used in this study is a regression test. Based on the calculation of hypothesis regression linearity test (i) Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected because F_count < F table is -44.40 < 1.88 then the regression form is linear, and for testing the significance of hypothesis regression (ii) Ha is accepted and Ho is rejected because of Fcount > Ftable that is 44.402 > 3.96 means that there is a relationship of variable (X) to varabel (Y). Data collection techniques in the form of a questionnaire consisting of 14 items statement. Based on the calculation of questionnaire data on students 'responses to realistic mathematical learning, the percentage of students' responses that stated yes was 75.38% and the percentage of responses that stated was not 24.62%. This shows that the student response questionnaire is positive.
