The effect of counting method and learning style on students' counting learning outcome in the mathematics lesson

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect on counting methods namely Jatimatika counting method (JCM) and Abacus counting method (ACM) and learning styles on the counting learning outcome of mathematics lesson. This type of research was quasi-experimental with research subject as many as 60 students were selected classes that have the same categories. The data collection technique used essay test. Two-way ANOVA analysed the obtained data. The results of this study revealed that: (1) there were significant differences in counting learning outcome of mathematics between JCM with ACM, (2) there were significant differences in counting learning outcome of mathematics between students with visual and auditory, (3) there was interaction between counting method and learning style to counting learning outcome of mathematics, (4) counting learning outcomes between JCM with visual learning style greater than ACM with visual learning style, (5) counting learning outcomes between JCM with auditory learning style greater than ACM with auditory learning style, (6) counting learning outcomes between JCM with visual learning style greater than JCM with auditory learning style, (7) counting learning outcomes between ACM with visual learning style greater than ACM with auditory learning style.
