Ahmad Alfiyan Fakhroni, Zutaah Puotier — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Purpose of the study: This research aims to improve mathematics learning outcomes in multiplication calculation operations using Napier bone teaching aids so that an active, creative, enjoyable learning process can be produced and ultimately complete learning outcomes can be achieved.

Methodology:This research was conducted using mixed methods, namely quantitative methods and qualitative methods. The qualitative method was carried out using a type of classroom action research. Meanwhile, quantitative methods use observation techniques, and formative tests are analyzed using descriptive techniques. The sample for this research was 33 fourth grade elementary school students, consisting of 16 boys and 17 girls. The sampling technique uses simple random sampling. Data analysis techniques use percentage statistics and qualitative using miles and huberman.

Main Findings: The results of observations carried out in cycle I followed by a formal test showed data in the form of a class average result of 45.75. In cycle II the average student formal test result was 61.21 and the difference between cycles I and II proved that there was an increase in student learning outcomes. In cycle III the average formal test result was 72.12. Meanwhile, the students' achievement of the Minimum Completeness Criteria ) has been achieved in accordance with the class KKM achievement standard, namely 87.9%.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is that it is a means of creating interesting activities and games that encourage direct learning and foster a deeper understanding of multiplication.

Improving Mathematics Learning Outcomes Through the Consideration Model for Class VII Students

Fitriah Fitriah, Asanre Akorede, Emmanuel Agyei — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Purpose of the study: The current research aims to determine student learning outcomes in class VII which are improved through the application of a decision-making model, namely the consideration model.

Methodology: This research uses the classroom action research method, the sample involved in this research is class VII students. There are several research procedures that will be carried out, namely: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The quantitative data analysis technique is descriptive statistical analysis, while qualitative data is assessed verbally when observing the learning process.

Main Findings: Based on the results of research and descriptive analysis, the average value of mathematics learning outcomes after implementing the Consideration Model in cycle I was 64.80. Meanwhile, the average value of learning outcomes after implementing the Consideration Model in cycle II was 77.83. Class VII students' mathematics learning outcomes have increased. This increase is caused by the learning techniques used which can increase student activity and reduce student tension in learning mathematics.

Novelty/Originality of this study: Previous research aimed to determine the model of consideration and value clarification in improving affective abilities. Meanwhile, this research is new in improving students' mathematics learning outcomes through the consideration model.

Purpose of the study: to determine the influence of teacher teaching creativity on student learning outcomes in the first semester of fifth grade mathematics in elementary schools.

Methodology: The method used is quantitative with a quantitative descriptive research design, data analysis using inductive statistics with research instruments, namely interviews, observation questionnaires and documentation.

Main Findings: The results of this research show the teaching creativity of Class V Mathematics Teachers at Sdit Rabbi Radhiyya. does not have a big influence on the learning outcomes of students in the first semester of class V in mathematics, this can be seen from the results of the data analysis obtained, namely 0.174. It is very evident that in the learning process teachers still use the lecture method.

Novelty/Originality of this study: It is hoped that this research can provide information for readers and interested parties in knowing the influence of teacher teaching creativity on student learning achievement.

The Influence of Number Dice Games in Improving Early Childhood Mathematical Logic in Early Childhood Education

Renta Sari, Idris Ibrahim Omeiza, Monica Asagwile Mwakifuna — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Purpose of the study: The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the number dice game in improving the mathematical logic intelligence of young children in Early Childhood Education.

Methodology: The method used in this research is quantitative with an experimental research design, the sampling technique is purposive sampling, with post test and pre test research instruments, the data analysis used is inferential statistics.

Main Findings: The results of this research show that Early Childhood Education Teachers use the number dice game media used in mathematics learning, which is a game that children like because it is very easy and interesting to play. In order to stimulate various areas of development such as cognitive, language and social. Social skills trained in this game include the willingness to follow and obey the rules of the game, playing in turns. Mathematical cognitive skills that are stimulated are stating the order of numbers, recognizing number symbols and number concepts.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The use of a number dice game introduces a novel and engaging way for young children to interact with mathematical concepts. It offers an enjoyable learning experience that can potentially enhance children's motivation and interest in mathematics, establishing a positive foundation for learning.

Application of the Numbered Head Together Type Cooperative Learning Model to Improve Student Learning Outcomes in Mathematics Subjects

Langga Cintia Dessi, Mansi Shah — Fri, 22 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Purpose of the study: The aim of this research is to determine the increase in student learning outcomes in mathematics subjects, the subject of relationships between units, after implementing the Numbered Head Together (NHT) cooperative learning model for students.

Methodology:This research uses Classroom Action Research. The research subjects in this study were third grade elementary school students. The research instruments are test questions, interview guide sheets, and observation guide sheets.

Main Findings: The research results obtained in the first cycle were 8 students or 34.78% of students who completed their studies and 15 students or 65.21% who had not completed their studies with an average score of 49.13. In cycle II the number of students who completed increased to 16 students or 66.7% and those who had not completed decreased to 8 students or 33.3% with an average score of 62.5. In the implementation of cycle III, the number of students who completed it reached 22 students or 91.67% and only 2 students or 8.3% did not complete it with an average score of 85.20.

Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is the latest in this research is the selection of learning models, especially the Numbered Head Together (NHT) cooperative learning model. Through this NHT type cooperative learning model, students can freely express their opinions and learn to respect other people's opinions while still referring to the material and learning objectives so that they can improve student learning outcomes.
