Abstract

The aims of this study is to improving problem-solving skills by combining the Model of Eliciting Activities (MEA) with Learning Model on the level of student independence. The technique used for sampling is cluster random sampling, namely by selecting two experimental classes and two control classes take one experimental class and one control class. Sample are students in grade 2A and 2B in Academic Year 2021/2022 with eigen-values material from Mechanical Engineering Study Program. In this study takes variables, namely problem-solving ability as a result with parameters i.e. with or without Model of Eliciting Activities (MEA). Data collection in unison with documentation, questionnaires, and test methods. And data processing using a two-way ANAVA 2 in unison with a 2x2 factorial design interaction as well as a determinant test using a benpheroni test. Based on the research, provide an understanding that students will gain learning in unison with the MEA get high problem-solving abilities than students Where students who get treatment with  learning is carried out conventionally, and students who have a high level of comfort have high problem-solving ability results abilities compared to  students who have a fairly low level of independence, so they have an influence on self-reliance and learning methods on students' problem solving Capabilities. Thus, students who have high comfort and get learning with the Eliciting Activities Model have a higher problem-solving ability compared to other types of learning interactions in this study.

Abstract

Harmful Einstellung effect creates a serious source of aversion for students in Mathematics. It may not be clear whether students fail Mathematics due to lack of knowledge or due to aversion arising from Einstellung effect. This study therefore investigated students’ susceptibility to harmful Einstellung effect in Mathematics instruction using logistic-empirical model approach. A cross-section of senior secondary school (SS 2) students of Alvana Model Secondary School Owerri, Imo State numbering 93 were continuously observed (using direct observational technique with observation schedule) and surveyed to decipher their susceptibility to harmful Einstellung effect. The result indicates increasing susceptibility to harmful Einstellung effect. That is, a high prevalence of Einstellung phenomenon was observed among students. It is important to note that this has consequently resulted in the increase of aversive behaviour in Mathematics learning. It was recommended among others that teachers should inform the students about harmful Einstellung effect during teaching and encourage them to think critically about any mathematical problem before finding solutions. Also, teachers should adopt some approaches when teaching Mathematics, such as, delayed formalization approach and target task approach.

Abstract

Learning that involved the daily life accompanied by interesting learning media can be used as an option to help students in learning, particularly in improving students' concepts understanding. It is possible to do by utilization of familiar media that are generally liked by students. One of them is comic. Therefore a research about learning by comic based realistic mathematical approach was carried out in order to find out its effect on improving the skills of students concepts understanding on fraction material. This study is a quasi-experimental research. The population of study are 7th grade students of SMP RK Serdang Murni Lubuk Pakam on Academic Year 2019/2020. The first class that consist of 31 students are categorized as the control class and the second class consist of 32 students are experimental class. The pre-test and post-test questions were provided as an instrument of study. The data were analyzed using the Anova and Welch Brown-Forsythe tests to proof the hypotesis. Moreover, normality test with Liliefors test and the homogeneity test with the Levene’s test. The results of this study stated that learning with comics-based realistics mathematical approach has a significant effect on improving the skills of students concept understanding.

Abstract

Students were demanded to be a creative problem solver in the career world. A mathematical learning following an inquiry-based learning approach and integrating mathematical tools was developed in this study. Students constructed original solutions about trigonometry ratio by using a clinometer and a meter as mathematical tools in allowing creative thinking. The product was designed through ADDIE methodology and applied to two classes in a Senior High School. A pre-test and post-test design measured cognitive knowledge as creative thinking variable. The result showed that this product with using mathematical tools was feasible and successful in enhancing students’ creative thinking. Inquiry-based learning was developed by involving three main components: providing students with a contextual mathematical problem-solving activity; involving student in an open-ended investigation with using a clinometer and a meter as mathematical tools to promote their creative thinking in creating original solutions; motivating students to build their own knowledge. This inquiry-based learning which had been developed significantly influenced students’ pre-knowledge scores. It could be concluded that creative thinking contributed, too. A recommendation for mathematics teachers in teaching mathematics was to involve students in problem-solving activity that facilitated them to conduct open-ended investigation whereas they could construct their own knowledge in building an original solution.
