IMPLEMENTATION OF MATHEMATICS LEARNING THE PEER TUTORING COOPERATIVE LEARNING MODEL TO IMPROVE STUDENTS' MATHEMATICAL CONNECTION ABILITIES

Abstract

This study aims to find out whether the improvement of mathematical connection skills of students who receive the peer tutoring cooperative learning model is better than that of students who receive conventional learning. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental method with the first class as an experimental class given learning using the peer tutoring cooperative learning model and the second class as a control class given learning using the conventional learning model. The research design used in this study is Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population in this study is all class VIII of SMPN 1 Binong with a sample of class VIII B as an experimental class and class VIII C as a control class. The material provided is about statistical material. The instruments used in this study consist of two types, namely test instruments in the form of pretest and posttest questions and non-test instruments in the form of attitude questionnaires using the Likert scale. Based on the results, it was shown that the improvement of students' mathematical connection skills using the peer tutoring cooperative learning model was better than conventional learning (0.11 > 0.07), in addition, the results of the questionnaire of students' attitudes towards learning with an overall average of 3.61. showed that students' attitudes towards the peer tutoring cooperative learning learning model were positive.
