Pengaruh Kemandirian Belajar dan Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Terhadap Kemampuan Pemecahan Matematika

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of critical thinking skills and learning independence on students' mathematical problem-solving skills. The research method used is the correlational survey method. The analysis technique used in this study is Linear Regression. The sample in this study was 95 students in grade IX of Private Junior High School in South Jakarta. The results of the study prove that: (1) there is a significant influence of critical thinking ability and learning independence together on mathematical problem-solving ability. This is evidenced by the acquisition of Sig . values of 0.000 < 0.05 and F_H = 20.014. (2) there was an insignificant influence of critical thinking ability on mathematical problem-solving ability. This is evidenced by the acquisition of Sig. values of 0.070 > 0.05 and t_H = 1.834. (3) there is a significant influence of learning independence on mathematical problem-solving ability. This is evidenced by the acquisition of Sig. values of 0.000 < 0.05 and t_H = 4.100. Practically, this research can make a positive contribution to the improvement of mathematics teaching, namely through improving mathematical problem-solving skills through increasing learning independence and decreasing the level of mathematical critical thinking skills. To improve mathematical problem-solving skills, teachers must strive to encourage the level of critical thinking skills and independence of students to be even better.
