The effect of mathematical matriculation as the basis for calculus lectures: A case study of electrical engineering, UNISNU Jepara - Indonesia

Abstract

Mathematics is applied in all fields, 70% stated it is difficult, scary, and the survey results concluded that mathematics is a scourge for most students of all levels: Elementary School to College. Based on the results of the initial questionnaire student matriculation displeasure in mathematics starting in grade 3 elementary school, because arithmetic problems began to be difficult, the teacher was less familiar, dominant in learning and lacking in guidance, conditions tended not to change until high school. By matriculating researchers and acting as a lecturer, making the initial matriculation material as tension therapy, student anxiety in mathematics with a change in the mathematics mindset is fun, namely by using active and meaningful learning methods for students. With a growth mindset and meaningful learning, matriculation has implications for good mastery of students' mathematical concepts.
