The effect of contextual teaching and learning approach and motivation of learning on the ability of understanding the mathematics concepts of grade v student

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to obtain information about the effect of the CTL approach and learning motivation on the ability to understand mathematical concepts in class V students. This research is a quasy type experimental research. The population is all students in class V SDN Gugus I Kecamatan Tanjung Harapan Solok City and the sample is 57 students in grade V SDN 01 Tanjung Paku. This sampling technique uses randomized sampling. Research data is obtained from the ability to understand mathematical concepts and questionnaires. The results of the study showed that: (1) The ability to understand mathematical concepts of students participating in learning with the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach was better than using conventional learning; (2) the ability to understand the mathematical concepts of students who have high learning motivation who follow learning with the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach is better than using conventional learning; (3) The ability to understand mathematical concepts of students who have low learning motivation who follow learning with the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach is better than using conventional learning; (4) There is no significant interaction between the Contextual Teaching and Learning approach and students 'learning motivation on the ability to understand students' mathematical concepts.
