Abstract

Full-day school not only serves as a system for fostering excellent concentration and understanding in children's learning, but also hones their ability to think relevantly and adds enthusiasm to their pursuit of knowledge. This study aims to determine the significant impact of full-day school on students' concentration and understanding of mathematics. The research method used was qualitative, utilizing data analysis such as validation tests, linearity tests, homogeneity tests, and T-tests. The results showed that full-day school had a significant impact, particularly on students' concentration. Initially, students were stable in their learning, but over time, their concentration weakened due to fatigue from prolonged study. This can also impact students' understanding of mathematics. In this study, the effect of full-day school on concentration and understanding of mathematics was 0.464> 0.05 and the calculated t value was 4.303> t table. It can be concluded that Ha is accepted which means there is an effect of full-day school (x) on concentration and understanding of mathematics (y). So from the explanation, it can be seen that the calculated t is greater than the t table, meaning Ho is rejected. There is a significant influence between full day school on concentration and understanding of mathematics in SMA Swasta HAS SEPAKAT.

Abstract

Critical thinking is a high-level thinking skill that is very important in learning mathematics. However, students' critical thinking skills at the Madrasah Tsanawiyah level remain relatively low due to a teacher-centered learning process. Therefore, a learning model that encourages active student involvement in the problem-solving process is needed. This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on the critical thinking abilities of grade VIII MTs students regarding the topic of probability. This study uses a quantitative, quasi-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group. The research sample comprised 67 students: 30 in the experimental class and 37 in the control class. The research instrument was an essay test used to measure students' critical thinking ability. Data analysis was conducted using normality and homogeneity tests, paired-samples t-tests, independent-samples t-tests, and N-Gain calculations to determine increases in students' abilities. The results showed that the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model had a significant effect on students' critical thinking ability (p=0.000 < 0.05). The average score of students in the experimental class increased from 40.67 in the pretest to 80.83 in the posttest, while the control class showed no significant improvement. The results of the N-Gain calculation showed that the increase in critical thinking skills in the experimental class was in the medium category, with a value of 69.2%, whereas the control class was in the low category, with a value of 0.5%. Thus, the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model has proven effective at improving students' critical-thinking skills in probability.
