Kontribusi Mathematics Anxiety terhadap Kemampuan Akademik Mahasiswa pada Pembelajaran Kalkulus

Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the relationship between Mathematical Anxiety and academic achievement of the first level students. This study is conducted to reveal students' anxiety when they are dealing with mathematical problem in particular Differential Calculus. As the result, students' anxiety significantly rises either in the learning process or specifically when they are encountering with some tasks which are, in this study, related with Calculus differential. This study employs a survey method by using correlation technique. This method is employed to reveal how big the effect of Mathematical Anxiety towards students' academic achievement really is. The population in this study are the entire student of Mathematic Program (Faculty of Teacher Training and Education) Muhammadiyah University of Cirebon Academic Year 2016/2017. Twenty students, who are taking the subject of Calculus Differential, are purposively chosen as the samples of this study. Questionnaire and test are used as the instruments in this study. This study indicates that there is a negative relation between Mathematical Anxiety and students' academic achievement. Mathematical Anxiety contributes 35% to students' academic achievement. Meanwhile, 65% is influenced by other factors which are outside the scope of the present study.

Analisis Kecemasan Belajar Siswa SMP pada Pembelajaran Matematika

“…Sifat abstrak tersebut dikarenakan objek dasar dari pembelajaran matematika seperti fakta, konsep, operasi dan prinsip bersifat abstrak (Murdiani, 2018). Hidayat (2018) mengemukakan bahwa matematika disebut sebagai ratunya ilmu pengetahuan. Maksud dari ratunya ilmu pengetahuan adalah matematika merupakan fasilitator dari ilmu-ilmu lain, begitu banyak bidang ilmu yang pengembangan teorinya bertumpu pada pengembangan konsep-konsep matematika, sehingga bisa dikatakan bahwa matematika memiliki pengaruh bagi mata pelajaran lain.…”

How does Math Anxiety affect Students’ Problem Solving Ability? A case of Ill Structured Problem Mathematics Problem

“…Based on the results of research conducted by Irhamna et al, (2020) show that Ability to solve problems is influenced by mathematical anxiety by 8.5%. Hidayat (2018) said there was a negative and significant correlation between students' academic abilities and math anxiety. That is, a student's academic ability can be predicted using math anxiety.…”

Penerapan Model Problem Based Intruction (PBI) Untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematika

“…Hal ini sesuai dengan beberapa tujuan pembelajaran matematika berdasarkan Permendiknas No. 22 Tahun 2006 (Hidayat, 2019) sebagai berikut: (1) memahami konsep matematika, menjelaskan keterkaitan antar konsep dan mengaplikasikan konsep atau algoritma secara luwes, akurat, efesien dan tepat dalam pemecahan masalah, (2) memecahkan masalah yang meliputi kemampuan memahami masalah, merancang model matematika, menyelesaikan model dan menafsirkan solusi yang diperoleh.…”
