Abstract

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) can enhance student motivation and learning outcomes. However, the integration of contextual media in these instructional activities remains limited. This research aims to investigate the impact of using PBL with contextual media on student outcomes, compare the differences in mathematics achievement between students taught through PBL with contextual media and those taught through conventional methods, and assess variations in student motivation between these two instructional approaches. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group was employed in this study. The participants consisted of 60 sixth-grade students, divided into an experimental group (taught using PBL with contextual media) and a control group (taught using conventional methods). Data were collected through learning motivation questionnaires and objective mathematics tests, with data analysis conducted using normalized gain scores (N-Gain) and t-tests. The results indicated significant improvements in student outcomes when taught using PBL with contextual media. Additionally, there was a marked difference in mathematics achievement between the experimental and control groups, as well as differences in student motivation between the two instructional methods. These findings suggest that implementing PBL with contextual media presents a promising strategy for enhancing both student motivation and mathematics learning outcomes.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to consider the benefit of applying GeoGebra interactive media to improve student achievement in learning derivatives. This study was experimental research using counterbalance design. The population of the study was four classes of grade XI students of SMA Negeri 3 Jayapura academic year 2018/2019 consisting of 122 students. Purposive sampling was applied in this study to get two experimental classes with the number of students were 22 and 26 respectively. In both experimental groups received the same treatment which were learning using GeoGebra interactive media and learning without using GeoGebra interactive media which applied orderly. This process was implemented four times at both classes interchangeably. The data of the study was collected from participant’s pretest and posttest at every learning treatment. Data was analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed test with the significance level (two-tailed) of 0.05. The result of the study shows that there are significant differences in learning outcomes of the two types of learning. The learning process which was designed using GeoGebra interactive media obtained the superior learning outcomes.
