Abstract

Students are still less involved in the teaching and learning process in class in mathematics. Lack of student involvement resulted in students' problem-solving abilities being weak. Constraints faced by students included difficulties in building plans, errors in operationalizing plans, and wrong conclusions. The purpose of this study was to determine student involvement in terms of students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in mathematics. This study uses a descriptive qualitative research approach. The subjects in this study were 12 students of class XII IPA-2 at MAN 4 North Aceh. Data collection techniques used in this study were observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques using data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that in general high problem-solving abilities are also accompanied by high involvement, and vice versa. However, students in the high group have not been involved in finding answers, exploring variations and sorting information, and making inductions. Medium group students have not been involved in classifying, exploring variations and expressing in their own words and finding answers, sorting information and making inductions. Meanwhile, students in the low group were only able to clarify, associate and generalize, use previous knowledge, create mathematical objects and provide examples.

Abstract

Education has an important role in people's lives and in the future, with the hope that improving the quality of education can reduce crime rates. The Independent Campus Learning Program (MBKM) is a government initiative to increase student productivity and reduce truancy in tertiary institutions. MBKM aims to improve the quality of human resources, graduates, and educational institutions. This research focuses on the IAIN Ternate campus, especially the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Teaching Science (FTIK) which has 8 study programs. The research method used is qualitative and quantitative (Mix Method). Researchers used the draft MBKM guidelines from the FGD results to create variable indicators and create research instruments. The instrument was validated by three education experts using a Likert scale. The results showed that the implementation of the first level of MBKM (Reaction) had not been fully socialized to the study program coordinators. The guidelines used are still in draft form and have not been approved by the chancellor, indicating that the campus has not been wholeheartedly involved in implementing MBKM. The MBKM guideline draft is also still imperfect and is in the data collection stage regarding the number of credits of courses that will be involved in the MBKM.

Abstract

A mind map is a note-taking method that involves laying out ideas on a sheet of paper and branching out along the lines of one's thought processes. With mind mapping, learning will be easy to describe, and material that is quite difficult can be easily understood or simplified. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of mind mapping learning in matrix operations material in grade 11. Three indicators of learning effectiveness are: 1) teacher management of learning; 2) student involvement in learning activities; and 3) the proportion of students who successfully complete learning objectives. This study uses observation, tests, interviews, and documentation to collect data for a qualitative descriptive analysis. Class XIA SMK students Darur Rahmah was used as the research sample. Based on the findings and discussion of the research, class XIA SMK Darur Rahmah studied matrix operation material effectively using activities in mind mapping. The results showed that three indicators were fulfilled: 1) effectiveness, namely the teacher's ability to determine the very good category; 2) 11 students whose activities were classified as active; 16 students were very active; and 3) individual completeness of 25 students with a learning completeness level of 92.6%.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the fact that not all students can do math calculations well. This can be seen when students carry out exercises on matrix material and the application of linear functions in economics that require numerical skills, namely the addition and subtraction of integers. There are still many students who are confused in doing the exercise, especially with quite large numbers such as tens and hundreds. At the time of doing the distribution of many students who hesitate in doing it. Likewise with multiplication, there are even some students who have not memorized multiplication from 1 to 10. From this the researcher concludes that not all students have good numerical skills, so that students in working on math problems tend to experience difficulties and cause students' low economic mathematics learning outcomes. The average student learning outcomes are still below the minimum standard, in this case it can be seen from the midterm exam scores in mathematics economics management students at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Sumatera Barat. So, one of the factors that influence students' learning outcomes in economics mathematics is numerical ability. This type of research is ex post facto correlational research, namely research that is intended to determine whether there is a relationship between two or several variables. The population in this study were all management students at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Sumatera Barat, who took four classes of economics mathematics, consisting of 128 students. The instruments used in this study were numerical ability tests and learning achievement tests. The analysis used in this research is linear correlation analysis. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between numerical ability and the learning outcomes of economic mathematics students at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Sumatera Barat. This is also seen from the value of the correlation coefficient , the correlation coefficient when seen in the table of the level of closeness of the relationship between X and Y variables, then the level of closeness of the relationship is in the medium relationship category because it is in the range. So, it can be concluded that there is a significant relationship between numerical ability and the results of learning economics mathematics from students of management at the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Sumatera Barat.

Abstract

Mathematics learning model using GeoGebra software has become a handy tool in teaching mathematical concepts and applications. Students can conduct experiments and explore mathematical concepts in an interactive and fun way with GeoGebra software. Using GeoGebra in learning mathematics of two-variable functions can increase students' understanding on the topic discussed, strengthen mathematical computational and visualization skills, and motivate them to know more and better complex mathematical concepts. From this perspective, this study aims to know the impact of using GeoGebra on students' understanding of the derivative of a function of two variables. Furthermore, this study was conducted on two groups of students, namely the control group (not using GeoGebra) of 53 students and the experimental group (using GeoGebra) consisting of 50 students. Based on these results descriptively students in the experimental group have higher scores on the assessment of skills in determining partial derivatives and their application. Statistically, there is a difference between the experimental and control groups in understanding the function of the derivative of the two variables.
