Application Of Learning Cycle 7e Model Based Joyful Learn On Mathematical Problem Solving Ability

Abstract

This research was motivated by the demands of the development of advanced science and technology in the 21st century and teaching activities that are still centered on the teacher that causes the problem solving ability of mathematical students less developed maximally and less meaningful learning. So take innovative learning one of them to improve the ability of problem solving mathematically that is by using Learning Cycle 7E model combined with Joyful Learn. Learning Cycle 7E model consists of 7 stages of learning, namely Elicit, Engagement, Exploration, Explanation, Elaboration, Evaluation, and Extend. This model is packed based on Joyful Learn. The purpose of this research to know the improvement of students\u27mathematical problem solving ability using Learning Cycle 7E Model based Joyful Learn, and difference of problem solving ability of mathematics among Leaning Cycle 7E model based on Joyful Learn with its control class. This study is quasi experiment with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population of this research is all the fourth grade students of Elementary School in  Cileunyi Bandung area of academic year 2016/2017. The selected sample is class IV SDN Cibiru 02 as the experimental class and fourth grade students of SDN Cibiru 08 as the control class. The research instrument used is a matter of test in the form of description. Based on the result of data analysis obtained the average of pretest result of experiment class is 37,12 and control class is 36,21. After obtaining different treatment, the result of experimental class posttest was obtained 78,94 and control class 64,42. The result of the gain test shows that the improvement of student mathematical problem solving ability using Learning Cycle 7E model based on Joyful Learn is 0,67 which is in the medium category and can be seen from the acquisition value of significance one sample t-test of 0,000. Based on the average defference test with α = 0,05 obtained significance value of 0,000, mean that H0 is rejected. So, it can be concluded that there are differences between problem solving students using the Learning Cycle 7E model based on Joyful Learn with conventional learning, then the Learning Cycle 7E based on Joyful Learn is better than conventional learning as its control class. So the Learning Cycle 7E based on Joyful Learn can be an alternative in improving students\u27mathematical problem solving abilities
