Abstract

Learning achievement and attitude towards mathematics are two of the indicators of student success in learning mathematics. Problems related to these two things that occur in classrooms where the author teaches encourage the author to make improvements in learning through a classroom action research to improve student achievement and attitudes toward mathematics. Classroom Action Research (CAR) is carried out by applying Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with Team Accelerated Instruction (TAI) arrangements. Data were collected using two types of instruments, namely mathematics achievement test, and students' attitude toward mathematics questionnaire. The results showed that the average attitude of students towards mathematics there were 81% of students had good attitude categories to the top (59% good categories and 22% of very good categories), student achievement as much as 87.50% had been completed with an average student completeness is 81.75 while the implementation of learning activitieshas exceeded the specified target that is equal to 92.11% has been implemented.

Abstract

The research used is a quasi-experimental study that aims to determine whether there are differences in the effectiveness of the scientific approach and the problem-solving approach in problem-based learning in class IX students of SMP Negeri 3 Pangsid. The population in this study were all grade IX students of SMP Negeri 3 Pangsid, and the sample consisted of two classes, namely class IX.1 and class IX.2, as an experimental class. Based on data collection from learning outcomes, activities and responses of students show that the mathematics learning outcomes of students in the experimental class 1 are in the high category with a mean of 84.38, student activities in learning can be categorized well, while student responses tend to be positive towards this learning. So, it can be concluded that problem-based learning with the scientific approach is quite active. Student mathematics learning outcomes in experimental class 2 are in the high category with a mean of 79.58, student activity in learning is in right criteria, and tudent responses to this learning are positive. This shows that problem-based learning with a problem-solving approach is quite effective. Hypothesis testing at a significant level ? = 0.05 with the t-test showed a signi ficant difference in effectiveness, in terms oflearning outcomes between students who applied problem-based learning with a scientific approach and students who applied problem-based learning with problem solving approaches.

Abstract

Grade Point Averages (GPA) are known to give fair assessment of students performance in an academic degree programme, and students ability to successfully complete a degree programme is also known to depend on their level 100 GPA. In this paper we sought to determine factors that significantly affect academic performance of Level 100 students of the University of Ghana. Questionnaires method was used to collect the data for analysis, and regression analysis was carried out on the data to determine the effect of gender, residential status, and previous high school on Grade GPA of level 100 students. At the end of the analysis it was found that the above mentioned factors do not significantly affect GPA. However, we found that the programme a level 100 student offers, significantly affects the student’s GPA.
