Analysis of Problem Solving Ability and Active Activities of Students with the Application of Autograph Assisted CTL Learning Model at Private MTs PAB 1 Medan

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of students' mathematical problem solving ability by applying the Autograph-assisted CTL learning model, to determine the active activities of students by applying the Autograph-assisted CTL learning model, and to find out the students' difficulties in solving mathematical problems. Data obtained through data sheets of students' problem solving abilities were analyzed through a qualitative approach and the results of observations of student activities during learning activities were analyzed based on percentages. This study uses data analysis of the Miles and Huberman model, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification data. The subjects in this study involved students of class VIII-1 MTs Private PAB 1 Helvetia, who were treated through the CTL learning model in the even semester of the 2021/2022 academic year, totaling 30 people. Based on the results of the study, the average level of mathematical problem solving abilities of 30 students in the high category included 2 students in the very low category, 2 students in the low category, 7 students in the moderate category, 15 students in the high category and 4 students in the very high category. Students' active activities with the application of the Autograph-assisted CTL learning model are said to be effective, because they are in accordance with the requirements of all indicators being met. Very high category students have no difficulty in solving problem solving problems. Students with sufficient criteria have difficulty in translating problems into mathematical models and difficulties in carrying out correct mathematical procedures. Meanwhile, students with very low criteria have difficulties in understanding problems, translating problems into mathematical models, determining strategies and carrying out correct mathematical procedures.
