Improving the Creative Thinking Ability of Junior High School Students Through GeoGebra Assisted Learning Community in Mathematics

Abstract

This study examines and analyzes the differences between GeoGebra-assisted community learning and conventional learning in improving students' creative thinking skills in junior high schools. The research method uses quantitative, designed with an experimental pattern of nonequivalent control groups. Samples taken not randomly from two different classes amounted to 79 people. One class gets community learning with the help of GeoGebra, and the other class gets conventional learning. Data obtained by using the test. The test was conducted twice, namely pretest and posttest. Normalized N-Gain is done to measure the increase in creative thinking skills. Data analysis used an independent sample t-test. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that there was a significant increase in students' creative thinking skills. Learning community is student-centered learning in groups (Student-Centered Learning). The research findings consider it important to implement GeoGebra-assisted learning communities according to the characteristics and development of the student learning environment.

Improving Students’ Mathematical Reasoning Abilities Through Social Cognitive Learning Using GeoGebra

“…This conclusion backs up the findings of [37], which explains that social cognitive learning theory can be implemented in the online learning process during the Covid-19 epidemic. This finding is consistent with the previous study [20], [24], [26], [29], [31], [64], which found that GeoGebra can be integrated into mathematics learning and aid in the process of grasping mathematical ideas. On the other hand, the results of the study report that the problem-based learning model is not bad.…”

“…Research findings state that computer-assisted teaching materials can expand mathematical knowledge in exploring subject matter [20], [24], [26], [29], [30]. GeoGebra is one of the many application software that can help in visually understanding a concept in mathematics [20], [31]. GeoGebra has a feature that can run on a computer or mobile device, so this makes GeoGebra more flexible than similar applications [26].…”

E-Book with Problem Based Learning to Improve Student Critical Thinking in Science Learning at Elementary School

“…In connection with the implementation of the 2013 curriculum, which in the book contains many subjects, the natural sciences incorporated in the 2013 curriculum aims to make students proficient in scientific knowledge that will be connected to life, understand the environment, be scientific and also problem-solving. Because each class has a different personality, like every course studying Science, their way of responding will be different, so the method taught will also be other for each class [4]. natural sciences are subjects that can represent implementation in learning in the 21st century.…”

Development of Android Based Educational Games to Enhance Elementary School Student Interests in Learning Mathematics

“…Moreover, mathematics is a complicated subject. One of the biggest challenges for mathematics teachers is when their students say Mathematics is the most difficult subject [30]. Many students think that some subjects are boring.…”
