PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN DAN KEMANDIRIAN BELAJAR TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH MATEMATIKA

Abstract

This study aims to determine: (1) the effect of learning models on the mathematical problem-solving ability of private MTs students in Tangerang Regency; (2) the effect of learning independence on the mathematical problem-solving ability of private MTs students in Tangerang Regency; and (3) the interactive effect of learning models and learning independence on the mathematical problem-solving ability of private MTs students in Tangerang Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a 2×2 factorial design. The sample consisted of 80 students selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using an essay test on mathematical problem-solving ability and a learning independence questionnaire. Prerequisite tests, including normality and homogeneity tests, indicated that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. Two-way ANOVA analysis revealed that: (1) there was a significant effect of learning models on mathematical problem-solving ability, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and an F-value of 99.815; (2) there was a significant effect of learning independence on mathematical problem-solving ability, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.006 < 0.05 and an F-value of 13.430; and (3) there was a significant interactive effect of learning models and learning independence on mathematical problem-solving ability, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.021 < 0.05 and an F-value of 12.230. The findings indicate that both learning models and learning independence influence students’ mathematical problem-solving ability.
