Clustering based on sociometry in pythagoras theorem

Abstract

Student learning in groups is one way of organizing students in the classroom. In student learning in groups, teachers can provide assistance or guidance to group members more intensively. The grouping of students should be based on criteria designed according to the needs of students. Also, the formation of groups based on these criteria should be submitted to students, and if it is deemed necessary to make changes, the teacher should provide direction. This study aims to determine the learning outcomes of students in learning the Pythagoras Theorem by grouping based on sociometry. The subjects of this study were VIII grade students of State MTs Walisongo, Tegalwangi Jember, while for the sample of this study were Class VIII-D and Class VIII-E. This type of research is experimental research. The analysis of the research used the two independent sample t-test. The result obtained Sig-value of 0.002 which is smaller than 0.05 for the value of t of -3.172. It is concluded that the mean experimental class is not the same as the control class mean.
