An analysis of students learning independence in mathematics based on google classroom

Abstract

Learning independence is something that is expected in this digital era. So much knowledge can be obtained from various sources, not only from learning at school. For this reason, qualitative research is needed to analyze it. The purpose of this qualitative research with the case study method is to analyze student learning independence in online learning mathematics based on google classroom. The technique used is by giving questionnaires to students through a google form that is distributed in google classroom. This study was applied to 30 students grade VII-A of SMP Santo Yoseph Medan in the 2021/2022 Academic Year. Based on the learning independence questionnaire that has been filled out by students, the results show that the average percentage of students’ dependence on others is 86.27, students have self-confidence is 71.07, students behave in a disciplined manner is 72.86, students have a sense of responsibility are 72.67, students have behaviour based on their own initiative is 91.33, students do self-control is 77.55. So, based on overall indicators of learning independence, it is concluded that students are independent in learning mathematics with an average percentage of 78.63. From several indicators of learning independence, it was found that the attitude on one’s own initiative was more dominant than some other indicators.
