Abstract

The lack of mathematical literacy is a worrying thing. It must be noticed that the literacy is an important ability that must be owned by students as future stakeholders. The objective of this study is to analyze the discovery learning - PMRI which effectively improve students' mathematical literacy. The type of research used was quantitative research, experimental research with quasi-experimental design nonrandomized control group, pretest – posttest design. The determination of control and experiment class was by using random sampling technique. The experimental class was treated in the form of discovery learning - PMRI while the control class is given discovery learning - scientific learning. The data were collected using mathematical literacy test, observation, and interview. The data from the data analysis of the final score of mathematical literacy, it is found that (1) the proportion of students in discovery learning-PMRI that fulfills the Minimum Criteria of Mastery Learning is 70, it reaches 70%; (2) the average of students’ mathematical literacy on discovery learning - PMRI is better than the average of students' mathematical literacy on discovery learning, and (3) The improvement of mathematics literacy of discovery learning class - PMRI is higher than discovery learning - scientific class . So it can be concluded that discovery learning – PMRI is effective in improving students' mathematical literacy.

Abstract

The purposes of this research were (1) to describe the learning quality of PBL through dyadic interaction approach to mathematical reasoning ability of grade X students of IT Al Irsyad Purwokerto High School (2) to find pattern of students reasoning ability based on mathematical belief. This study uses a mixed method. Data analysis started from the analysis of test items. The analysis uses the prerequisite test and then hypothesis testing uses rara average (t-test), then the proportion of comparative tests (test-z) is to calculate the classical completeness. Further testing of determining the difference between the two classes uses different test average (t-test right side). Qualitative data analysis uses qualitative description. The results of quantitative research shows that learning class with PBL and dyadic interaction approach reached classical total 80%. The average difference test showed class’ results with PBL dyadic interaction approach better than a class activity with PBL. Subjects with very low belief can only fulfill 1 reasoning indicator well. Subjects with low belief can fulfill 3 reasoning indicators well and have not been able to fulfill 1 other indicator. Subjects with high belief can fulfill 4 indicators where 1 indicator is imperfect and subject with very high belief can fulfill all the indicators of reasoning well and complete.

Abstract

Student’s mathematical connections ability at SMK Syubbanul Wathon Tegalrejo Magelang is still low. Students are not able to relate concepts in, link the mathematical concepts to other subjects, and to problems in daily life. The study aims to describe the process of discovery learning model with scientific approach, find out the effectiveness of discovery learning of scientific approach to the student’s mathematical connection ability, and to describe the mathematical connection ability of XII graders of SMK Syubbanul Wathon on differential functions based on the characteristics of student’s way of thinking. This study used mixed method of concurrent embedded design. The sample was chosen by random sampling, XII-G3 (control class, XII-G4 (experiment class 1), and XII-G6 (experiment class 2) as quantitative data sources. Meanwhile, for the source of qualitative data, it was obtained by taking two CS students, two AS students, two CR students, two AR students. The result of the research shows that (1) the discovery learning scientific approach process in improving the students’ mathematical connection ability is good, (2) the discovery learning model with the scientific approach is effective, and (3)The characteristics student’s way of thinking also affects the students' mathematical connections ability.

Abstract

Problem solving activities require students to apply mathematics rules on non-routine problems. Mathematical connection ability is required so that students can relate real problems to mathematical model nor relate the interrelationships between the concepts that required to solve problems. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of MEA in geometry and to analyze the mathematical connections ability of students in geometry based on upper, middle, and lower spatial intelligence categories on MEA. The research method is Mixed Methods and research design is Sequential Explanatory Design. The subjects of the study is the 9th grade students. The study started by first spatial intelligence test in experimental class, then followed by MEA learning in experimental class and expository learning in control class. The study ended by mathematical connection ability test in experimental and control classes and last spatial intelligence test in experimental class. The results showed that MEA learning in geometry were effective. The result of mathematical connection ability in geometry of upper spatial intelligence category students has reached five indicators of mathematical connection ability well. Students of middle spatial intelligence category on first, second and fourth indicators have been maximized, but third and fifth indicators have not been maximized. Students of lower spatial intelligence category on first indicator have been maximized, second indicator has not been maximized, while third, fourth and fifth indicators can not be achieved well. Teachers should know the spatial intelligence of students so that the learning process especially in geometry achieve maximum results.

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to produce a study of the effectiveness of CTL learning on mathematical critical thinking skills and describe students' mathematical critical thinking skills in CTL learning based on their cognitive style. The type of research used is a mixed method concurrent embedded model. The subjects of this study were eighth-grade students of SMP Ekarini Semarang. Retrieval of data in the form of cognitive style using the GEFT test and mathematical critical thinking skills through tests. The results of analysis of individual completeness data using one sample t-test sign value 0.588> 0.05, classical completeness with test proportion z count = 1.67> z table = 1.64, and simple linear regression test with the help of SPSS produces a sign value of 0,000 <0,005 with R2 = 0.684 which means that the application of effective CTL learning to mathematical critical thinking skills and cognitive style has an influence on mathematical critical thinking skills of 68.4%. The cognitive style of FDI has the best mathematical critical thinking ability by mastering the ability in aspects of conclusions, assumptions, deductions, and interpretations. The cognitive style of FI masters the ability in aspects of conclusions, deductions, interpretations, and evaluate arguments. The cognitive style of FD controls the ability to draw conclusions, assumptions, and deductions. Educa need to pay attention to the application of learning that can be received by all students despite having different styles such as cognitive the CTL models.
