Improving the Ability of Mathematic Study Problems and Dispositions SMP Students Through Improve Method

Abstract

This study aims to: 1) know the achievement of problem-solving abilities and mathematical disposition of students, 2) the interaction between the learning model and the level of students' abilities to the achievement of problem-solving abilities and mathematical dispositions and 3) the association of problem ability and mathematical disposition students. This research uses the quantitative approach with the experimental method. The instrument used is a type of description test. Data analysis was done quantitatively by using t-test and two-track ANOVA test. The result of this research concludes that the achievement of problem-solving ability and mathematical disposition of students who gain learning with method Improve is better than students who get conventional learning either reviewed based on the whole students and based on students' early math ability. There is no interaction between learning method factors and the level of students' early mathematical ability toward the achievement of mathematical problem-solving abilities. There is no interaction between the learning method and the students' early mathematical ability towards achieving mathematical disposition abilities. Students have a positive attitude towards the learning of mathematics and Improve Method.

The Effect of Exploration Approach on Students’ Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability and Disposition

“…That finding of student's MCTA grade was similar to findings of a lot of previous studies (Kartiwi, Sumarmo, Sugandi, 2018, Maya, & Ruqoyyah. 2018, Mulyana, Sumarmo, Kurniawan, 2018, Mulyasari, Rohaeti, Sugandi, 2018, Supiyanto, Hendriana, Maya, 2018, Rijaya, Sumarmo, Kurniawan, 2018, Saomi & Sumarmo, 2018, Wardani, Sumarmo, NISHITANI, 2011 that by using variety of innovative teaching approaches students obtained MCTA and MD were at fairly good grades qualification.…”

“…Apart from the study findings that have been reported, a lot of studies (Aziz, Rochmad, Wijayanti, 2015, Damayanti, Sumarmo, Maya, 2018, Fajriyah & Asiskawati, 2015, Iskandar & Riyanti, 2015, Rahman & Maslianti, 2015, Rohaeti & Budiyanto, 2014, Rosita, 2016, Rosyana, Supandi, Ariyanto, 2016, Ruhiyat & Sugandi 2017 reported that students getting treatment with different innovative teaching approaches obtained MCTA at medium to prety good grade level. Nonetheless, some studies (Mulyana, Sumarmo, Kurniawan, 2018, Mulyasari, Rohaeti, Sugandi, 2018, Supiyanto, Hendriana, Maya, 2018, Rijaya, Sumarmo, Kurniawan, 2018, Saomi & Sumarmo, 2018) by implementing various of innovative teaching approaches reported that students attained MD at fairly good grade level.…”
