Enhancing students’ mathematical synthesis ability by superitem learning model

Abstract

This study aims to determine the improvement of student’s mathematical synthesis ability and student attitudes toward learning mathematics with superitem learning model. This research was quasi experiment in nature, with pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental class is given in the form of learning with superitem learning model and control classes are given learning with conventional learning model. The populations of this study are students of 8th grade public junior high school at North Bandung, with the research sample is selected two classes. Two classes are selected to be used as experimental class and control class. The instrument used consisted of mathematical synthesis ability test and attitude scale. The results of this study conclude that students’ mathematical synthesis ability that’s learning with superitem learning model better than students who received learning with conventional model. Students give positive responses and attitudes toward learning with superitem learning model.
