PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN PROBLEM BASED LEARNING TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN PENALARAN MATEMATIS

Abstract

One of the main problems in classroom learning that has an impact on understanding mathematical problem solving is that mathematical reasoning abilities are still low. The purpose of this study is to analyze mathematical reasoning abilities through learning models and learning styles. The reason for this research can certainly be used as a reference for learning in schools to create a conducive classroom environment so that the enthusiasm of students in learning mathematics increases. This study uses quasi-experimental methods with Pretest-Postest Control Group Design. The population in this study were all students of SMKN Serang City Banten Province and the sample was selected by purposive sampling so that 2 classes were obtained as the experimental class and the control class. Data collection is done through tests, tests in the form of essay questions that indicate mathematical reasoning ability. Pretest was given as a preliminary test before this research took place in both classes. And at the beginning of learning both classes work on learning style instruments with the aim of classifying students who belong to the visual, auditory or kinesthetic stage groups. While the posttest was given after the end of the study in both classes in the form of the same questions as before. The results obtained in this study are (1): 1. There is an influence of mathematical reasoning ability of students who are given a PBL learning model higher than students who are given expository learning models; (2) There are differences in students' mathematical reasoning abilities based on learning styles; (3). There is no interaction between learning models and learning styles on mathematical reasoning abilities.
