The Effectiveness of Innovative Learning on Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract

Learning problem-solving skills emphasizes reasoning abilities to determine conclusions based on-premises, determining alternative solutions in decision making, thinking creatively in building alternatives to get keys, and critical thinking to evaluate the best solutions in answering problems. This study aims to identify biased publications using the trim and fill method in determining the effectiveness of learning on the problem-solving abilities of junior high school students. This research is a quantitative study with a meta-analysis approach. Data collection based on quantifiable variable numerical information analysis results from mathematical problem-solving abilities in two different learning groups. The data analysis technique uses bias publication analysis with the trim and fills method with the analysis procedure of calculating the effect size, heterogeneity test, calculating the summary effect using the random-effect model, and forest-plot analysis and biased publication analysis. The results showed no publication bias. The validity of differences in innovative and conventional learning effectiveness was valid on junior high school students' mathematics problem-solving skills. This shows that innovative learning effectively improves the mathematical problem-solving ability of junior high school students.

Impactful Cooperative Learning and Academic Achievement of Mathematics Students

“…The students learn how to work as teams to achieve a single goal. These results support the concept of cooperative learning usage within classrooms (Ridwan, et al, 2021). It is seen that cooperative learning impacts positively on the academic performance of mathematics students (Zhu & Kaiser, 2022).…”

Implementation of the Case Method in Learning Mathematics to Improve the Creative Thinking Ability of Electronics Engineering Students

“…From the results of the picture above that there is an increase in each indicator of the ability to think creatively both from thinking fluently, thinking flexibly, thinking original, and thinking in detail after getting treated with the case method in learning mathematics. Critical thinking is a constructive way to find the right solution, by evaluate all criteria to answer the problem (Ridwan et al, 2021).…”

Identification of Effectiveness Measurements and Bias Publication of Literature Results Study: A Cooperative Learning Models on Mathematics Learning Outcomes of Vocational School Students in Indonesia

“…The measurable variables in the study consisted of learning outcomes and social and emotional skills. Several researchers have conducted a meta-analysis evaluation of cooperative learning utilising moderator factors at all levels of education so far (Capar and Tarim, 2015;Hattie, 2009;Mansurah et al, 2021;Setiana et al, 2020;Sharan, 2010;Turgut and Turgut, 2018) as well as on student learning outcomes, with a focus on cognitive and emotional development (Parveen, Yousuf and Mustafa, 2017;Ridwan et al, 2021;Vega and Hederich, 2015). In comparison to the tertiary level, Hattie (2009) found that the cooperative learning approach for elementary and high school students was appropriate.…”
