Abstract

Mathematical reasoning is an essential skill that every student must possess as a tool to find problem-solving solutions effectively and efficiently, develop cognitive abilities, and foster critical and creative thinking in facing 21st-century challenges. However, students' mathematical reasoning skills remain low, particularly in solving and analyzing complex mathematical problems. This issue arises due to students' passive involvement in the learning process. This study aims to improve the mathematical reasoning skills of eighth-grade students through the implementation of the Learning Cycle instructional model. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR). The results indicate that the average score of students' mathematical reasoning tests increased from 22.96 in the initial test to 47.85 in Cycle I and 80.64 in Cycle II. Additionally, the percentage of students meeting the mathematical reasoning competency criteria increased from 8% in the initial test to 19% in Cycle I and reached 75% in Cycle II. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Learning Cycle instructional model is effective in enhancing students' mathematical reasoning skills in the topic of Probability in eighth grade. This model can serve as an alternative instructional strategy to increase student engagement and understanding in mathematics.

Abstract

The aim of this development research is to design discovery learning-based student worksheets (LKPD) to facilitate the mathematical critical thinking skills of Phase D students by meeting validity and practicality criteria. This study is motivated by the crucial role of critical thinking skills in students' education. The research employs a development method (R&D) following the 4-D model (define, design, develop, and disseminate). The study involved 15 students from Babussalam Junior High School, Pekanbaru, as the test subjects. Research instruments included a validation questionnaire to assess the validity of the LKPD and a student response questionnaire to evaluate its practicality. Based on the expert validator's analysis, the validity score was 94.43%, indicating the LKPD is highly valid. Meanwhile, the practicality score, derived from the student response questionnaire, was 87.98%, categorizing the LKPD as highly practical. Thus, the development of discovery learning-based LKPD is recommended for use in learning activities related to circle content to enhance the critical thinking skills of Phase D students.
