Analysis of Student Interpersonal Intelligence in Mathematics Learning: Case Study Junior High School State (SMP N) in Sukoharjo

Interpersonal intelligence is one of 8 Gardner's intelligences. This intelligence is the ability to assess and understand the needs of others, and act according to their ways of managing interactions with someone. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to analyze the eighth graders' interpersonal intelligence in mathematics learning. Research subjects were 49 students from SMP N 2 Sukoharjo and SMP N 2 Baki. In this study, data were obtained through an interpersonal intelligence questionnaire based on three aspects namely social sensitivity, social insight and social communication skills. The results of this study revealed that in SMP N 2 Sukoharjo 31% had interpersonal intelligence in the "high" category, 38% had interpersonal intelligence in the "moderate" category, and 31% had interpersonal intelligence in the "low" category. Furthermore, in SMP N 2 Baki 26% had interpersonal intelligence in the "high" category, 39% had interpersonal intelligence in the "modarate" category, and 35% had interpersonal intelligence in the "low" category. Therefore, it can be concluded that the average interpersonal intelligence of eighth grade students of SMP N 2 Baki and SMP N 2 Sukoharjo in mathematics learning has almost equal intelligence. To improve students' interpersonal intelligence, teachers should update learning models that are more interactive so that students are accustomed to interacting with the teacher and their friends

Analisis Berpikir Kritis Siswa Dalam Pemecahan Masalah Matematika Berdasarkan Polya Pada Pokok Bahasan Persamaan Kuadrat (Penelitian Pada Siswa Kelas X Smk Muhammadiyah 1 Sragen Tahun Pelajaran 2013/2014)

This research aims were to describe: (1) students' level of critical thinking, (2) students' process of critical thinking in problem solving based on Polya, (3) factors influencing students' process of critical thinking. This was a descriptive qualitative research. Subject of the research was students grade X AP 1 of SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Sragen consisting of four students. Subject was selected using purposive sampling. Instrument of collecting data were observation, problem solving test and interview. Validity of the data was tested using triangulation method. The data were analyzed by: (1) classifying the data in level of critical thinking based on indicators of critical thinking stated by Ennis; (2) analyzing each critical thinking level based on four steps of Polya's problem solving; (3) analyzing factors influencing students' process of critical thinking. From the research on 36 students, the results of students' level of critical thinking are 19.4% for critical thinking level 0, 72.2% for critical thinking level 1, 5.6% for critical thinking level 2 and 2.8% for critical thinking level 3. Students' process of critical thinking in (a) understanding problems, critical thinking level 0 was not able to construct point of the problems and reveal the facts, critical thinking level 1, 2, and 3 were able to construct point of the problems and reveal the facts; (b) making a plan, critical thinking level 0 was not able to detect the bias and determine theorem in solving problems, critical thinking level 1 was not able to detect the bias but was able to theorem in solving problems, critical thinking level 2 and 3 were able to detect the bias and determine theorem in solving problems; (c) carrying out the plan, critical thinking level 0 was not able to solve problems as the planning, critical thinking level 1, 2 and 3 were able to solve problems as the planning; (d) looking back the completed solution, critical thinking level 0 and 1 were not able to select logical argument and to draw conclusion, however, critical thinking level 1 was able to solve the problems using another method, critical thinking level 2 was not quite able to select logical argument and to draw conclusion, but it was able to solve the problems using another method, and critical thinking level 3 was able to select logical argument, to draw conclusion and to solve the problems using another method. Factors influencing students' process of critical thinking are students were not accustomed to solve story problems so that they were not able to understand the problems, students found it difficult to construct Mathematics model, and students were accustomed to solve questions using only one method

Perbandingan Kemampuan Representasi Dan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematik Pada Siswa Yang Mendapat Pembelajaran Kooperatif Disertai Quantum Learning Dengan Siswa Yang Mendapat Pembelajaran Kontekstual Ditinjau Dari Kemampuan Awal Siswa

The objectives of this research are to investigate the effect of learning models on representation and mathematical problem solving ability viewed from the student prior knowledge. The learning models compared were cooperative combined with quantum learning and contextual learning. The samples of this research were taken by using stratified cluster random sampling technique. The populations were all of the students in grade VII of State Primary Schools in Sukoharjo regency 2012/2013. The number of the samples was 142 students, in which 72 students in the experimental class one, and 72 students in the experimental class two. The instrument used to collect the data were test of the representation ability and test of the problem solving ability. The data was analyzed by using multivariate analysis of variance. The results of the research are: (1) the students taught by using contextual learning have better on both the representation and the mathematical problem solving ability than the students taught by using cooperative combined with quantum learning, (2) the students having high prior knowledge category have better on both the representation and the mathematical problem solving ability than the students having medium prior knowledge category, and the students having medium prior knowledge category have better on both the representation and the mathematical problem solving ability than students having low prior knowledge category, (3) there was no interactions between the learning model and the prior knowledge toward the students\u27 representation and mathematical problem solving ability. It means that the use of either of contextual learning model or cooperative combined with quantum learning model, the students having high prior knowledge category have better on both the representation and mathematical problem solving ability than the students having medium prior knowledge category, and the students having medium prior knowledge category have better on both the representation and the mathematical problem solving ability than the students with low prior knowledge category. The students having high, medium, or the low prior knowledge taught by using contextual learning have better on both the representation and the mathematical problem solving ability than the students taught by using cooperative combined with quantum learning
