Abstract

This study aims to (1) find out whether the mathematical problem-solving abilities of students who are taught by realistic mathematics learning were higher than those students who were taught using conventional learning; (2) knowing students' learning attitudes towards realistic mathematics learning approaches. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a quantitative approach. This research was conducted in class VII of the Junior High School 28 Medan 2017/2018 Academic Year where the population of this study was all class VII. Samples from this study were class VII-G as the experimental class and class VII-F as the control class. Based on the results of the analysis of calculations, the following data are obtained: (1) the results of analysis of realistic mathematical learning on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities using the t-test found that ttable = 1.68 and tcount = 3.6821 so tcount> ttable then concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha be accepted. The mathematical problem-solving abilities of students who are taught by realistic mathematics learning was higher than conventional learning. (2) student responses were very positive towards realistic mathematics learning with an average of ≥ 86.03.

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 determine the effect of the cooperative Student Teams Achievement Devision (STAD) learning model on the ability to understand students 'mathematical concepts and students' responses to the STAD cooperative learning model type. This research method is a quasi experimental method. This research was conducted in State 2 Junior High School of Sorkam at the even semester of the 2016/2017 Academic Year. The sample of this study was class VIIIA as the experimental class and VIIIB as the control class. From the research data obtained a regression equation Y = 74,857 + 8.857X (there is a positive effect). The average value of students' understanding of mathematical concepts learned by the STAD cooperative learning model is 83,714, while the conventional learning model is 74,857. The coefficient of determination is 21.6%, meaning that 21.6% of the influence of the STAD type cooperative learning model on the ability to understand students' mathematical concepts. The results of the analysis of student responses were obtained (1) by 98.2% stating they were interested and the rest not; (2) amounting to 95.05% stating that there are benefits obtained and the rest not; (3) amounting to 86.78% stated that there were no obstacles experienced during the learning process and the rest stated there were; (4) 94.04% hoped the STAD type cooperative learning model was used in the learning process and the rest did not expect. So, it can be concluded that the student response is very positive because the average percentage of student approval responses to the STAD type cooperative learning model is ≥ 85%.
