Increasing Students’ Communication Skills and Independence Through Realistic Mathematics Learning Assisted by Google Classroom

Abstract

The purpose and problem formulation of this research is to find out whether realistic mathematics learning assisted by google classroom can improve students' communication skills and independence. This research method is descriptive quantitative research. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Pangkat in February-March 2021 in the even semester of the 2020/2021 learning year. The sample in this study were 25 students who were taken from the total population of data and could represent the entire population with the sample collection technique, namely the random sampling technique. The instruments used were tests and questionnaires with the data analysis technique using multiple regression tests. The results of this study were tested with multiple correlation test which resulted in a significant value of 0.011 < 0.05 and F counting 5.663 > F table 3.42. With an increase in communication skills and student independence simultaneously (simultaneously) to variable Y is 34%. So it can be concluded that there is an increase in students' communication skills and independence through realistic mathematics learning (PMR) assisted by google classroom.

A Systematic Review of Google Classroom in Mathematics Education

“…For the implementation of Google Classroom in mathematics education, the results revealed that the use of Google Classroom has positively impacted learning. According to various studies, Google Classroom has enabled new experiences for students, increased their awareness of metacognition, improved their learning independence, and enhanced their understanding of mathematical concepts Susilo et al, 2019;Suryawan et al, 2021;Sundary et al, 2020;& Ari, 2020;Huda et al, 2019;Pasaribu, 2021). While most studies on the implementation of Google Classroom in mathematics education have reported positive effects on learning outcomes, a few studies did not find significant impacts.…”

Peningkatan Kemampuan Komunikasi Siswa Melalui Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Think Pair Share (Tps)

“…Matematika merupakan pendidikan awal yang sangat berarti bagi setiap orang, oleh sebab itu seiring berkembangnya teknologi ilmu pengetahuan ini perlu lebih dipahami dan dimengerti (Supartik & Pasaribu, 2021). Di era globalisasi dan canggihnya teknologi yang berkembang saat ini sebagian dari siswa yang kurang meminati dalam pembelajaran matematika.…”

Analisis Kemampuan Komunikasi Matematika Siswa Ditinjau dari Motivasi Berprestasi

“…Tentunya bagaimana cara agar dapat meningkatkan motivasi beprestasi siswa tidak lepas dengan bantuan guru sebagai pendidik di sekolah. Menurut hasil penelitian bahwa pembelajaran dengan pendekatan realistik matematika berbantuan google classroom dapat meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi matematika siswa dan kemandirian belajar dengan persentase pengaruhnya sebesar 34% (Supartik & Pasaribu, 2021).…”
