The Effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning With Social Media Assistance to Improve Students’ Understanding Toward Statistics

Abstract

The objectives of the research are (1) to develop mathematics learning through Problem Based Learning (PBL) with social media assistance in improving students’ understanding toward statistics and (2) to find out the effectiveness of PBL with social media assistance. This research is a quasi-research with cluster random sampling. The cluster random sampling was employed to determine a control class and an experimental class. After treatment for each class, post-test was done. Then, the post-test data was analyzed through a T-test. The result is the mean score of post-test in experimental class was better than that in control class. It means PBL with social media assistance is more effective than the conventional model to teach statistics. The result was supported by a questionnaire that showed learning mathematics through PBL with social media assistance got a positive response from the students.

The Effects of Mobile Technology on Learning Performance and Motivation in Mathematics Education

“…It is stated that enabling students to share their worksheets and resources with each other through instant feedback can bring success (Naidoo, 2020 ). It is seen that the WhatsApp application is used as a tool in various learning methods such as blended learning (Nida et al, 2020 ; Qamar et al, 2019 ), self-regulated learning (Fathonah et al, 2020 ), digital learning (Mulenga & Marbán, 2020 ), flipped classroom learning (Fahmy et al, 2019 ), online learning (Aziza, 2021 ; Mukuka et al, 2021 ), problem-based learning (Yuliana & Firmansah, 2018 ).…”

Pemodelan Persamaan Struktural : Motivasi Prestasi Belajar Matematika Siswa Terhadap Aspek-Aspek Berpengaruh Pada Pembelajaran Daring

“…Berikut ini upaya-upaya yang telah dilakukan, seperti guru mendesain model pembelajaran secara daring dan secara tatap muka dengan sangat memperhatikan protokol kesehatan (Hanik, Nida, Nida, Lutfiatin, & Widyaningrum, 2021), guru mengembangkan media pembelajaran yang lebih menarik (Nurmaulidina & Bhakti, 2020). Dari berbagai penelitian menunjukkan adanya kemajuan aktivitas siswa dan kemampuan belajar siswa selama pembelajaran menggunakan metode pembelajaran yang inovatif (Indiyani & Listiara, 2006;Mustika, 2016;Yuliana & Firmansah, 2018;Yumiati & Wahyuningrum, 2015). Tak hanya itu, guru yang telah memanfaatkan media pembelajaran interaktif dan menarik ternyata dapat menumbuhkan motivasi dan ketertarikan siswa untuk belajar, yang berimbas pada peningkatan motivasi berprestasi belajar matematika siswa yang signifikan (Jeronimo, Sutarto, Sukestiyarno, & Rusdarti, 2020).…”

Kesalahan Siswa dalam Pemecahan Masalah Matematika pada Teorema Pythagoras

“…Strategi pemecahan sebuah masalah yang diimplementasikan oleh siswa satu dengan siswa yang lain tidaklah sama, walaupun sebuah permasalahan yang dihadapinya tidak berbeda. Ada banyak strategi pemecahan masalah (Lahinda & Jailani, 2015;Schoenfeld, 2016;Yuliana & Firmansah, 2018), salah satu strategi pemecahan masalah Pythagoras dapat menggunakan sketsa pemecahan. Berikut ini diberikan salah satu strategi sketsa dalam pemecahan masalah berkaitan dengan Pythagoras.…”
