Using of Jarimatika counting method (JCM) to slow learner students in a mathematics lesson

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the use of Jarimatika counting method (JCM) in a mathematics lesson. The research method used is a case study involving five (5) slow learner students and one mathematics teacher. Data were collected using interviews, observations, field notes and written test results. Data analysis using qualitative analysis data model consisting of 3 stages, namely (1) thematic analysis of all participant (2) within-participant thematic analysis (3) cross-participant analysis. The results showed that the counting learning outcome, as many as four students had exceeded the score of mastery learning, while 1 student has not exceeded the mastery learning score. The conclusion of the research can be stated that JCM can improve student learning outcomes, slow learner. Improved learning outcomes due to the enthusiasm of teachers and students, curiosity and easy understanding of the use of JCM in counting learning.
