Abstract

This research was to describe students’ mathematical communication skills based on their learning styles. This research was a descriptive research with qualitative approach. Data was obtained in three steps, namely written test on SLETV material, questionnaire on learning styles, and interviews. Research subject was eighth grade students. The procedure in this research began with the pre-field stage. At this stage, the research was designed, starting from observation and interviews with the teacher, as well as discussion with the supervisor. The second was the field stage, which was the stage for conducting research. The final stage was writing the report, which was the stage where researchers have conducted the research, processed and analyzed data that has been obtained from the research. Data collection techniques in this research were distributing questionnaire, giving test questions about SLETV, and conducting interviews to find out the students’ mathematical communicationskills more specifically. The instruments in this study were questionnaire onlearning styles, test questions about SLETV, and interview guide sheets. Dataanalysis techniques in this research aimed to achieve data reduction by sorting out important answers from student results in the form of questionnaire, test, and interviews. Data presentation was in the form of narrative texts. Interviews were aligned with the test questions about SLETV. Finally, conclusions were formulated by describing each student’s written mathematical skill based on the 4 student learning styles. Based on the results, students with interpersonal learning style had the ability to learn better through friendship, students with self-expressive learning style had the ability to learn by paying more attention to the final results and tended to use unusual ways to find the best results, students with understanding learning style had the ability to see facts and remember large amounts of knowledge, ideas, theories, or concepts, while students with mastery learning style were able to write to the point and focus more on results.

Abstract

The aim of this research is as an effort students’ perspective on mathematics and the preservation of traditional Indonesian games. As for the background of this writing, because Indonesia is a country that has a diversity of cultures, one of them is traditional games. The current of globalization in Indonesia has the effect of threatening extinction towards various traditional Indonesian games. On other hand, the problem is the majority of students consider mathematics learning is difficult and unpleasant lesson. This research takes one of the traditional Indonesian games namely patil lele to be implicated in mathematics learning. This research used descriptive qualitative research with the aim of describing, explaining, and interpreting the implementation of traditional game patil lele as ethnomatematics qualitatively using observation, documentation, and filling questionnaires and tests. The results showed that the use of patil lele games introduce students to traditional games, foster social attitudes, collaborate with students, and help students understand the concept of distance between points. After applying traditional patil lele games, students can get to know the game. By introducing this game, students can love their own culture that is Indonesian culture with their participation in preserving traditional patil lele games. The application of traditional patil lele games can reduce the abstractness of mathematics by visualizing the material of distance between points through the game. Thus, the implementation can provide a good image of mathematics subjects students’ perspective

Abstract

This research aimed to describe the result of using the spinning wheel with steps based on Van Hiele theory, and to know student’s conceptual understanding in visualization phase through spinning wheel media and to describe the effectiveness of spinning wheel in improving student level of thinking from visualization phase to analysis phase. This research was descriptive research on experimental teaching which the research subject was seventh grade students at junior high school 4 Pamekasan consisted of 26 visualization phase students. The data collection techniques used in this research were observation, test, and interview. The resulting research showed that the learning process by using Van Hiele learning theory and spinning wheel media could attract student’s interest in the learning process, so students had the good conceptual understanding. Besides, the result showed the student’s understanding level at SMP 4 Pamekasan, it divided into two categories which were very good; and good. In the very good category, the average score was 89,5%. Then, a student’s conceptual understanding in the good category has 70,99% as the average  score. It also stated that the spinning wheel that had been used was effective. It stated as effective because the spinning wheel media could improve from student’s visualization thinking to student’s analytical thinking level.

Abstract

This study aims to determine how the effect of the Quantum Learning model using Mind Mapping techniques to students' creative thinking abilities. The type of research used is experiment and quantitative approach with research design using posttest only group design. Data analysis of two groups used the t-test on SPSS 21, that is Independent Sample t-Test to test the difference in average posttest value of two samples.The results of this study are (1) results of the t-test  from post-test data obtain a significance 0,000 where it is lower than 0.05 so can be said that the average of the two groups are different, (2) from the post-test results, the answers given by students from the experimental group more fulfilled the indicators of creative thinking than students from the control group.

Abstract

One of the learning stages is apperception. Warmer apperception is an activity that conducted to make the students’ knowledge to be stored in long-term memory. This research aimed at: 1) describing the learning implementation using Warmer apperception to construct a conceptual understanding in the vector material, 2) determining the effectiveness of the implementation of Warmer apperception to construct a conceptual understanding in the vector material. The effectiveness of learning using Warmer apperception could be seen from: 1) the observation of learning implementation using Warmer apperception that indicated a minimum of the sufficient category; 2) the students’ response questionnaire indicated a minimum of positive response category; and 3) the test results of students’ conceptual understanding indicated a minimum of quite a good category. The subjects of this research were the students of 10th grade of Mathematics and Natural Science (MIA) at Senior High School (SMA) of Muhammadiyah 3 Batu, in which it consisted of 21 students. Based on the research conducted, it was obtained that the observation results of learning implementation using Warmer apperception got a very good category, the questionnaire results obtained a positive response category, and the test results of students’ conceptual understanding got a quite good category. Thus, the implementation of Warmer apperception to construct a conceptual understanding of the vector material is effective..
