Abstract
This study aims to examine: (1) an increase in mathematical understanding of students whose learning with SOLO taxonomy of Superitem techniques compared to conventional learning, (2) completeness of mathematical understanding of students using SOLO taxonomy of Superitem techniques, (3) student attitudes toward learning using the SOLO taxonomy of Superitem techniques. The study was a quasi-experimental study in one of the high schools in Bandung with a research design control group design posttest. The population is all class X high school students. The sample was taken by the Purposive Random Sampling technique as much as two classes. Data collection is done by giving tests and non-tests. The written test is mathematical understanding in the concept of three dimensional geometry. Non tests are attitude questionnaires with a Likert scale. The results showed (1) an increase in mathematical of students whose learning using SOLO taxonomy with Superitem techniques was higher than that of students with conventional learning methods, (2) classical mastery learning in experimental classes was achieved, and (3) positive student attitudes in all indicator.
Highlights
Mathematical understanding and attitudes towards mathematics are important
The purpose of this study is to examine the mathematical understanding and attitudes of high school students with SOLO taxonomy with Superitem techniques
The experimental class uses learning with using SOLO taxonomy of Superitem techniques, while the control class uses conventional learning
Summary
Mathematical understanding and attitudes towards mathematics are important. Mathematical understanding is one of the developments of contemporary mathematics education Sumarmo (2002). Mathematical understanding and student attitudes influence student mastery learning. The spiral approach is relevant to the characteristics of mathematics learning, namely learning from the concrete to the abstract; from simple to complex; and tiered concepts or principles. The study of the SOLO stage was carried out by Sumarmo (Firdaus, 2004) His findings increase the belief that in mathematics learning, an explanation of mathematical concepts should not be directly on complex concepts or processes, but must begin with simple concepts and processes. The purpose of this study is to examine the mathematical understanding and attitudes of high school students with SOLO taxonomy with Superitem techniques
