This study aims to: (1) analyze the differences in mathematical dispositions between students who are given a contextual learning model assisted by Geogebra and students who are given a model of cooperatif learning assisted by Geogebra at SMK Harapan Mekar 1 Medan, (2) analyze the interaction between learning and early mathematics ability (high, moderate, low) students towards improving students' mathematical communication skills at SMK Harapan Mekar 1 Medan, (3) analyzing the interaction between learning and the initial mathematics ability (high, medium, low) of students towards improving the mathematical disposition of students at SMK Harapan Mekar 1 Medan. The population of this study were all students of SMK Harapan Mekar 1 Medan in class X majoring in Automotive Mechanics and Computer Engineering. Samples were taken randomly from 6 classes, Students were selected as a sample of 2 classes, namely class X-2 as the experimental class I which was given the contextual learning model assisted by Geogebra and class X-3 as the experimental class 2 which was given the cooperative learning model assisted by Geogebra, with a total of 64 students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis through two-way analysis. The results of this study indicate that: (1) There are differences in mathematical communication skills between students who are given a contextual learning model assisted by Geogebra and students who are given a cooperative learning model, (2) there are differences in mathematical disposition between students who are given a contextual learning model assisted by Geogebra and students who given a cooperative learning by Geogebra.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
