Abstract

The spatial sense ability of elementary school students is still low. Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach is considered able to improve students' spatial sense abilities. This research aims to find out the increase of spatial sense of elementary school students who learned with CPA approach and conventional learning in terms of overall students as well as categories of high, medium, and low Mathematical Prior Ability (MPA). This research uses a quasi-experimental method with pretest and posttest control design in Mathematics subject with the topic of 3D geometry for 131 fifth grade elementary school students in Kotabaru District, Karawang Regency and Cipeundeuy District, Subang Regency. This research was conducted by dividing the students into two groups, namely students who received learning using CPA approach as the experimental group and students who received conventional learning as the control group. Descriptive analysis and inferential analysis results showed that there was an increase of spatial sense in students who learned with CPA approach, which was better than students who received conventional learning. Thus, learning using the CPA approach can improve and develop spatial sense abilities of elementary school students.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the importance of mathematical reasoning abilities for primary school students. This research aims at looking at the effect of the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach on the enhancement of mathematical reasoning abilities of primary school students. This research method is a quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-test control group design in Mathematics subjects with the theme of data presentation. The research sample consisted of 121 fifth grade students in two primary schools in Bekasi Regency. The test and non-test instruments were involved in this research. The results revealed that there wasthe influence between the CPA approach and students' mathematical reasoning abilities, and the achievement and enhancement of mathematical reasoning abilities of students who got learning with the CPA approach werebetter than students who got conventional learning based on all student review and a category of Prior Mathematical Ability (PMA) high, moderate and low. In conclusion, the mathematical reasoning ability of primary school students can be improved by applying the CPA approach.

Abstract

Mathematics is still regarded as a difficult subject that promotes students’ anxiety. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach on the decrease of students’ mathematical anxiety in primary school. This study use Research and Development (RnD) model which includes descriptive, experimental and evaluative methods. Experimental method was used to identify the effect or the efficacy of CPA approach implementation on the decrease of students’ mathematical anxiety. The subjects of this study were 131 fifth grade students in two different primary schools in Subang and Karawang, West Java. The lesson was implemented by assigning students into two groups: (1) students who experienced learning with Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) as experimental group and (2) students who experienced learning with convensional method as control group. Inferential data analysis suggests the significant effect of Concrete-pictorialAbstract (CPA) implementation on the decrease of students’ mathematical anxiety in primary school. This evidence is supported by the calculation of determinant test which imply high percentage of Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) effecton the decrease of students’ mathematical anxiety in primary school. Therefore, instruction with CPA can be used as an alternative solution to reduce mathematical anxiety of students in primary school
