Perbandingan Hasil Belajar Matematika Antara Yang Menggunakan Pendekatan Konstruktivisme Dengan Pendekatan Open Ended

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to know whether or not there are differences of learning outcomes of students of class X TKJ 1 and X TKJ 2 between those using a constructivism approach and those using an open-ended approach in learning mathematics in statistics chapter. The research method used is a quasi-experiment with population of students of SMK TERPADU HUTAMA and with samples of 68 people simply and randomly taken by using a self-developed instrument in the form of test about Mathematics Learning Outcomes. The research data for the experimental and controlled classes are collected by analyzing the test using t test, while the normality analysis requirement is analyzed by testing with chi-square test and homogeneity with F test. The result of the research shows that there is a significant difference between students’ learning outcomes through constructivism approach and through an open-ended approach to mathematics learning in SMK TERPADU HUTAMA. From the research results, it can be concluded that the constructivism approach is better than the open-ended approach in statistics learning because the former can encourage the development of individual’s skill in the classroom.
