Gender perspectives on mathematical connection ability in PACE learning model

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to proving effectiveness PACE learning model and analyze the ability of students’ mathematical connections in terms of gender. This type of research is mixed methods. The quantitative research design used is true experimental design. This research was conducted in one of the High Schools in Banyumas in the academic year 2018/2019. Two sample groups (experiment group and control group) were selected randomly. An experiment group was taught by using PACE learning model, while the other group (control group) was taught by using Problem Based Learning Model. The purposive sampling technique consists of 6 subjects were chosen, 3 male and 3 female students. Data collection techniques through tests and interviews. Data analysis through the stages of data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results showed that female subjects fulfilled indicators of the relationship between topics in mathematics and indicators of mathematical relationships in other fields, as well as indicators of mathematical relationships in everyday life one subject did not fulfill; male subjects meet indicators of the relationship between topics in mathematics and indicators of mathematical relationships in everyday life, as well as indicators that connect mathematics in other fields that are not fulfilled by one subject
