Peningkatkan Kemampuan Pemahaman dan Penalaran Matematis melalui Pendekatan Kontekstual
Abstract: The low achievement
on students’ mathematical comprehension and reasoning was still low due to the
informational pattern of material in mathematics has been delivered to students
informatively which means students get the information only from the teacher,
so students’ mathematical ability also low. The purpose of this research was to
examine the differences of comprehension ability and mathematical reasoning
between students who learned mathematics through contextual learning and
students who learned through conventional approach. Design for this research
was pretest-posttest control group design. To obtain the research data,
comprehension ability and mathematical reasoning test were used as the
instrument. This research conducted at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri Model Banda
Aceh. The population of this study was all students at grade VIII while samples
were chosen from 2 of 11 of grade VIII by purposive sampling. The data analysis
was done quantitative way. Quantitative analysis conducted on the normalized
average gain between two samples by using t-test. The result showed that
overall learning mathematics by using contextual learning treatment can
encourage students; comprehension ability and mathematical reasoning ability.
Learning mathematics by contextual learning approach significantly better in
encourage the students’ comprehension ability and mathematical reasoning than
using conventional approach. Learning by contextual approach can be a good
alternative learning approach that can be implemented in Junior High School
