Abstract
AbstractSeveral factors can causes a low student learning outcomes in mathematics. One of them is lack of motivation in learning so students are not enthusiastic in learning seen from students who tend to be embarrassed or afraid to ask questions, lack of responding to the teacher, and less responding to the teacher's explanation. Therefore, the importance of innovative learning and motivation can help students get the optimal learning process. This study aims, to describe the effectiveness of learning and improving student learning outcomes through discussion learning with ARCS motivation strategy about the surface area and volume of cube in 8th grade of junior high school. This study use a quantitative descriptive study using one group pretest-post test study. The subject of this study are student of VIII-B in SMPN 2 Wonoayu with a total of 32 students. Data collection’s methods are using tests (pretest and post test), questionnaires and observations. Data were analyzed descriptively quantitatively. To find out the increase in student learning outcomes in VIII-B class, the data were analyzed using n-gain. The results of this study include the ability of teachers to manage learning including good categories, students activities including active categories with an average percentage of 99.98 %, the response of students included in the good category with a percentage of 100%, completeness student learning there are 28 students completed with a percentage of 87,50% and increased student learning outcomes including the medium category. Based on the results of the research data, the implication of the results of this study is the determination of appropriate learning models and strategies can be used to improve student learning outcomes. This is indicated by the gain score obtained by students belonging to the medium category. The use of the discussion learning model in this study is said to be effective because it has fulfilled 4 components, namely student learning activities, student responses, student learning completeness and increased student learning outcomes.Keywords: discussion, ARCS motivation, result of learning
Highlights
Political and Economic Risk Consultant (PERC) in Sujarwo (2018) stated the results of a survey that from 12 countries in Asia ranked education in Indonesia ranked 12th. This caused the results of learning mathematics of Indonesian students currently at a level that has not been satisfactory. This is shown from the results presented by Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (2018), the 2018 PISA results in mathematics get an average value of 379 out of 489 determined average scores and are ranked 72 of 78 countries
Based on the description above, the purpose of this study is to describe the effectiveness of learning which consists of the management of teacher’s ability to manage learning, student’s activities, student’s responses, completeness of student’s learning and improvement of student’s learning outcomes by applying discussion learning models with ARCS motivation strategy
CLOSURE Conclusion Based on the result data, we can say that discussion learning model using ARCS motivation strategy is effective to teach about the surface area and volume of cube
