Perbedaan Peningkatan Kemampuan Koneksi Matematis Siswa SMP melalui Pembelajaran Berbantuan Puzzle dan Geogebra Ditinjau Berdasarkan Gender

Abstract

Based on TIMSS 2011 and PISA 2018, mathematical connection ability of Indonesian students has not been optimal. Some of questions in TIMSS and PISA measured the mathematical connections ability. Needed the instructional media to increase mathematical connection ability, such as puzzle and GeoGebra. In addition, gender also affects students' mathematical ability. This study aims to investigate differences in mathematical connection abilities between students who learning by puzzle and GeoGebra, investigate differences in mathematical connection abilities between male and female students, and investigate interactions between instructional media and gender. This research was a quasi-experiment which used nonequivalent control group design. The samples were students of class VIII-A and VIII-B in Junior High School of 1 Tangerang City. The instruments in this research consisted of test items, such as pretest and posttest. Hypotheses test through parametric test (ANOVA Two Tail). Based on ANOVA Two Tail-test result, showed that there is difference increase in mathematical connection ability students who learning by GeoGebra and puzzle. Then, there is no difference increase mathematical connections ability between male and female students. The factors of instructional media and gender do not equally affect the increase of mathematical connection ability.

PENGEMBANGAN LKPD BERBASIS PENDEKATAN KONTEKSTUAL UNTUK MEMFASILITASI KEMAMPUAN KONEKSI MATEMATIS PESERTA DIDIK SMP/MTs

“…Hasil PISA 2018 dengan skor rata-rata 379, Indonesia menduduki urutan 74 dari 79 negara, dengan skor rata-rata internasional 500. Soal-soal yang diujikan dalam PISA salah satunya mengukur kemampuan koneksi matematis (Mentari et al, 2020). Hasil ini mirip dengan penilaian PISA sebelumnya, dimana Indonesia secara konsisten berada diperingkat sepuluh terbawah.…”

Analysis of Mathematical Connection Ability in terms of Mathematical Resilience and Gender of MTs Students

“…In addition to MR, gender differences can affect students' mathematical abilities (Mentari et al, 2020). The results of Davita & Pujiastuti's 2020) research show that women are better at solving math problems than men.…”
