AN EMPIRICAL AND MODELING ANALYSIS OF THE AREA-ELASTIC SURFACE IN A GYMNASIUM

The external load acting on an athlete during landing on area-elastic surfaces in gymnasiums is an important factor concerning overload injuries. Nevertheless, there is a lack of force measurements on this kind of surface. This study describes technical problems of these measurements and presents an easy method to calculate the most important characteristics of an area-elastic surface: spring and damping functions and accelerated mass. When using suitable non-linear spring and damping functions the simulations with the model of the surface lead to results, which agree very well with empirical measurements (r2 = .99,

Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Mencari Solusi Altenatif pada Penyelesaian SoalMatematika Sekolah Dasar

Latar belakang dari penelitian ini berdasarkan hasil observasi ke SD di lingkungan Cileunyi Bandung, pada umumnya pembentukan keterampilan mencari solusi alternatif dari sebuah penyelesaian soal dalam pembelajaran matematika kurang diberikan pada siswa. Umumnya penyelesaian soal matematika, siswa digiring pada satu penyelesaian yang ada. Biasanya siswa diarahkan untuk menyelesaikan soal matematika dengan menggunakan cara yang biasa, yang diketahui guru dan cara tersebut merupakan satu-satunya cara yang harus dikuasai oleh siswa. Adapun rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah “Bagaimana kemampuan siswa dalam mencari solusi alternatif terhadap soal-soal matematika yang diberikan sebelum dan setelah belajar dengan menggunakan pembelajaran berbasis masalah?” dan Apakah pembelajaran berbasis masalah berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kemampuan siswa dalam mencari solusi alternatif ketika menyelesaikan soal-soal matematika? Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mencari solusi alternatif dari sebuah penyelesaian soal matematika melalui pembelajaran berbasis masalah. Metode penelitian adalah penelitian kuantitatif jenis eksperimen dengan desain penelitian pre-test pos-test tanpa kelas kontrol. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah tes untuk melihat kemampuan siswa dalam mencari solusi alternatif terhadap soal-soal matematika, dan lembar observasi untuk melihat pembelajaran matematika berbasis masalah. Populasinya adalah seluruh siswa kelas III Sekolah Dasar yang terdapat di lingkungan Kecamatan Cileunyi Kabupaten Bandung. Sampel penelitiannya dipilih secara acak berdasarkan sekolah, bukan berdasarkan siswa. Untuk kebutuhan pengujian hipotesis penelitian dilakukan uji statistik menggunakan uji t ketika memenuhi persyaratan uji t, yaitu normal dan homogen. Ketika tidak dipenuhi persyaratan untuk uji t, maka dilakukan uji nonparametrik menggunakan uji Mann Whitney. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Kemampuan siswa dalam mencari solusi alternatif, terhadap soal-soal matematika yang diberikan, sebelum belajar menggunakan pembelajaran matematika berbasis masalah tergolong rendah. Kemampuan siswa dalam mencari solusi alternatif, terhadap soal-soal matematika yang diberikan, setelah belajar menggunakan pembelajaran berbasis masalah mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan, yaitu dari rendah menjadi sangat tinggi. Pembelajaran berbasis masalah berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap kemampuan siswa dalam mencari solusi alternatif terhadap penyelesaian soal-soal matematika
