Penelitian ini mengkaji hubungan antara penerapan model pembelajaran problem based learning dengan kemampuan literasi matematis siswa SMP. Penelitian ini didasari oleh rendahnya kemampuan literasi matematis siswa SMP pada umumnya, khususnya siswa SMPN 2 Sedong Kabupaten Cirebon. Hasil tes kemampuan awal literasi matematis yang dilakukan pada siswa SMP Negeri 2 Sedong pada kelas VII, VIII, dan IX menunjukkan bahwa, kemampuan literasi matematis pada siswa kelas VIII tergolong rendah. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode survey dengan teknik korelasi. Metode ini digunakan untuk melihat seberapa kuat dan seberapa besar pengaruh model pembelajaran problem based learning terhadap literasi matematis siswa SMP. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 2 Sedong Kabupaten Cirebon Tahun Pelajaran 2018/2019, sampel penelitian diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling sebanyak 32 siswa kelas VIII SMP Negeri 2 Sedong Kabupaten Cirebon Tahun Pelajaran 2018/2019. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah skala disposisi matematis dan lembar tes kemampuan literasi matematis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang positif antara model pembelajaran problem based learning dengan kemampuan literasi matematis siswa SMP, serta model pembelajaran problem based learning memberikan pengaruh sebesar 37,8% terhadap kemampuan literasi matematis siswa SMP

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between Mathematical Anxiety and academic achievement of the first level students. This study is conducted to reveal students' anxiety when they are dealing with mathematical problem in particular Differential Calculus. As the result, students' anxiety significantly rises either in the learning process or specifically when they are encountering with some tasks which are, in this study, related with Calculus differential. This study employs a survey method by using correlation technique. This method is employed to reveal how big the effect of Mathematical Anxiety towards students' academic achievement really is. The population in this study are the entire student of Mathematic Program (Faculty of Teacher Training and Education) Muhammadiyah University of Cirebon Academic Year 2016/2017. Twenty students, who are taking the subject of Calculus Differential, are purposively chosen as the samples of this study. Questionnaire and test are used as the instruments in this study. This study indicates that there is a negative relation between Mathematical Anxiety and students' academic achievement. Mathematical Anxiety contributes 35% to students' academic achievement. Meanwhile, 65% is influenced by other factors which are outside the scope of the present study.

This reseach comprehending on the relation between mathematics anxiety and the academic competence of the first level students. This research is constituted by the performance of most students of the early study program of mathematics education still feel anxiety when dealing with mathematical problems in the learning of calculus, the emerging discomfort felt by the students. The method of this research is survey with corelation technique. The use of this method is to see how strong and how far the influence of mathematics anxiety on the students academic competence. The population of this research is the students of Mathematics Department faculty of teacher training and education in  Muhammadiyah University of Cirebon in the academic year 2016/2017. The sample of the research is purposive sampling which consists of 20 students who contracted differential calculus subject. The instrument  used in this research is mathematics anxiety scala. The result of the research shows that there is a negative relation between mathematics anxiety and students’ academic competence. The mathematics anxiety gives a contribution 35% to the students’ academics competence, and 65% influenced by other factors not examined in this study.

<p>The students need to be fluent in speaking to express their ideas and what they think in their minds also to communicate with others. As a matter of fact, speaking using Bahasa is not a big deal for students since it is their mother tongue, but as they have to speak in English, it becomes a big problem.  They can’t imagine what they want to speak, they are afraid and unconfident if they try to speak English. Therefore the teacher should provide the students' motivation to speak up and use the appropriate method in teaching speaking. Photovoice is a suitable method using a camera for supporting the process of teaching-learning. The purpose of the study is to identify the effect of using Photovoice on speaking skills at the secondary school level. We used a speaking test to complete and process the data. The participants of the study were the students at the secondary level. The outcome of the study revealed that the students who taught using Photovoice had better skills in speaking English than the students who were not taught using Photovoice. Through this method, the students become interested and active during the study. They seemed to enjoy and excited about an exhibition or presentation.</p>

This research is motivated by the poor ability of mathematical reasoning and student motivation.The research is Quasi Experimental research. The research design is used NonequivalentControl Group Design. The population is class VIII SMP Islamiyah Weru Cirebon in academicyear 2016/2017. The technique in the research is Sampling Purposive. Sample involves eighthgrade students, the 33 class VIII A as an experimental class and class VIII B of the 36 studentsas the control class. Based on the result of the difference of the average of post-test using the testof Independent-Sample T Test equals Sig. (1-tailed) score 0,000 < 0,05 means Ho rejected, showthe ability of students learning mathematical reasoning using models SQ3R betterthan students whose learning conventionally. Then the difference of the average using ofN-gain using the test of Independent-Sample T Test equals Sig. score (1-tailed) 0,000 < 0,05means Ho rejected, show increasing the mathematical reasoning skills students arelearning to use the model SQ3R better than students whose learning conventionally.Keywords: SQ3R and ability of mathematical reasoning
