Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen Semu (Quasi Experiment) yang melibatkan dua kelompok yang diberi perlakuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan pemahaman konsep matematika antara siswa yang diajarkan dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) dan model pembelajaran Reciprocal Teaching (RT). Sampel penelitian ini terdiri dari dua kelas yang dipilih dengan menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan instrument tes kemampuan pemahaman konsep matematika siswa dan lembar observasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) Pembelajaran dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran  Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) lebih baik untuk diterapkan di kelas VIII di salah satu Sekolah Menegah Pertama Negeri (SMPN) di Kabupaten Barru (2) Pemahaman konsep matematika siswa yang diajar dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) lebih baik dari pemahaman konsep matematika siswa yang diajar dengan model pembelajaran Reciprocal Teaching (RT) dalam pembelajaran matematika pada dikelas VIII di salah satu Sekolah Menegah Pertama Negeri (SMPN) di Kabupaten Barru.Kata Kunci: Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR),Reciprocal Teaching (RT), pemahaman konsep.   Abstract. The research applied quasi-experimental design involving two groups that received treatment. The objective of the research was to find out the comparison of mathematics concept understanding between students who were taught by using Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) and Reciprocal Teaching (RT) Learning Method. The sample of the research consisted of two classes who were decided by cluster random sampling technique. The data were collected through the ability of students’ mathematics concept understanding instrument test and observation. The result of the research showed that 1) The learning process by using Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) learning method was better to be applied in the VIII class of junior high school (SMPN) in Barru district 2) The students’ understanding of mathematics concepts that was taught by using Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) was better than their understanding of mathematics concept that was taught by Reciprocal Teaching (RT) in learning Mathematics in the VIII class of junior high school (SMPN) in Barru district.Keyword: Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR), Reciprocal Teaching (RT), Concept Understanding.
