Students’ Mathematics Reasoning Ability Reviewing from Learning Interest of Students at SMPN 16 Pekanbaru

Abstract

This research .is.motivated. by the. existence of. facts. in the.field.which. show.the.low.mathematical.reasoning.skills found in students at SMP Negeri 16 Pekanbaru. One thing that students must master to achieve learning goals is mathematical reasoning abilities. In other words, students can use mathematics as a reasoning tool both in learning mathematics in class and everyday life. This research aims to determine the difference between students' mathematical reasoning abilities and low learning interest. Good student learning interest will make students happy to learn mathematics without coercion, with good learning interest will affect students' mathematical reasoning abilities. Mathematical reasoning abilities can be improved through increasing student interest in learning. This research is a qualitative descriptive study, the population in this study were all eighth-grade students of the 2020/2021 academic year. The sample taken was class VIII.2 using a random cluster. Data collection techniques and research instruments are tests of mathematical reasoning abilities on quadrilateral material, questionnaires in questionnaire sheets for learning interests, and interviews. Based on the results of data analysis, it can be concluded that: 1) There are differences in mathematical reasoning abilities between students who have high learning interests. 2) There are differences in mathematical reasoning abilities between students with low interest in learning.

Peningkatan Kemampuan Penalaran Matematika Dan Minat Belajar Melalui Game Edukasi Wordwall

“…Minat belajar matematika merupakan faktor penting yang mempengaruhi pemahaman konsep matematika, minat belajar berkaitan dengan proses pembelajaran, pembelajaran tanpa minat akan terasa menjenuhkan dan membosankan. Siswa yang tertarik dengan proses pembelajaran akan belajar lebih serius daripada siswa yang kurang tertarik dengan proses pembelajaran (Yuliani, 2021). Jika media pelajaran yang dilaksanakan tidak diminati oleh peserta didik, maka peserta didik tidak akan belajar dengan baik.…”

Pengaruh Metode Demonstrasi terhadap Daya Nalar Matematis Siswa Sekolah Menengah

“…Hasil belajar siswa juga ditemukan rendah dengan skor rata-rata 76,45 lebih rendah dari skor minimal yaitu 85. Sejalan dengan hasil pre-riset tersebut, Yuliani (2021) menyatakan salah satu hambatan belajar matematika yang dihadapi siswa sekolah menengah adalah kurangnya minat dalam pembelajaran matematika. Hal tersebut berimplikasi pada perbedaan dalam kemampuan penalaran matematika antara siswa dengan minat belajar tinggi dan siswa dengan minat belajar rendah.…”
