PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN KONTEKSTUAL BERBANTUAN HANDS ON ACTIVITY TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH MATEMATIK DAN RASA INGIN TAHU SISWA

Abstract

The study aims to determine whether there is an influence On mathematical problem-solving skills and the curiosity of students among those following Hands-On Activity Contextual learning and students who follow conventional learning On the opportunity material in class VIII SMPN 1 Karanggeneng. Based on the results of the study using T-test on the ability to solve mathematical problems, then get T_hitung = 5.38 to know the value of T table with the degree of freedom (DK) = 62 with a significance level of 5%, from the results of calculations, at can be valued t _ Table = 1.99. By comparing the T_hitung and T_tabel, then T_hitung > T_tabel (5.38 > 1.99), this means H_0 in the decline and H_1 in the receive, while the attitude of curiosity students can be seen from the calculation by using a test T-Test then obtained T_hitung = 2.57 with T _ ( The degree of Freedom 62 with a significance of 5% equivalent to 1.99. The result of calculating T with a level of significance of 5% is stated significantly that the T_hitung > T (table) > 1, (2.60 > 1.99). This means that H_0 is rejected and H_1 received. It is concluded that Hands-On Activity contextual learning has a significant influence on the ability to solve mathematical problems and students ' curiosity.
