Some previous research has reported the effectiveness of RME in improving students' problem solving ability and cognitive achievement. This quasi experimental research, therefore, aimed to investigate the difference in students' mathematics cognitive achievement after implementing RME and conventional learning. The controlled treatment consisted of mathematics learning with RME equipped with snake and ladder board game and conventional learning. Instrument measuring students' cognitive achievement was developed by the researcher and validated by some experts prior to the research. The results of the t-test confirmed the difference in students' cognitive achievement both of the experimental and control group. The students who were taught with RME achieved better than the students who were involved in conventional learning. This research finding has suggested that it is important for teachers to empower students' intellectual ability through RME and games in order that meaningful and contextual learning can be generated. It is recommended that future research will explore the effect of RME on students' attitude, problem-solving ability, learning interest, or other variables related to mathematics learning.
The learning model of michelson morlay has a significant effect on the improvement of students' mathematical cognitive learning outcomes. This quasi-experimental research aimed to reveal differences in students' cognitive learning outcomes between experimental and conventional classes. Limited information related to the MM model and playing cards in integer matter mathematics learning encouraged this research to be conducted. MM model is one of the latest models or inventions that have not been developed. MM research instrument developed in the form of a description and validated by a mathematician before the research done. The results revealed that, there was no difference in pretest score between students who experienced conventional learning and MM. The T-test results were also revealed that the posttest of students studying with MM equipped with higher playing cards when compared with conventional class. The findings of this study suggest that it is important for teachers to empower students' cognitive abilities through MM and games in order to make learning more meaningful and contextual. Thus the MM learning model can be recommended in developing and improving students' cognitive learning outcome mathematics. Future research will explore the effect of MM on emotional intelligence, critical thinking of students and other variables related to mathematics learning.
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.
