Improving Students' Mathematics Learning Outcomes Through The Application of Matrix Domino Card Media

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low mathematics learning outcomes of SMK Negeri 1 Bayah students. It is necessary to apply learning media that helps improve students' abilities. One of the learning media used is the Domino Matrix Card. This study aims to determine the learning outcomes of students who received treatment using matrix domino cards compared to students who were not given the treatment of learning using matrix dominoes. The results showed that the learning outcomes of students who were treated using matrix domino card media were higher than the learning outcomes of students without using matrix domino card media. The results of the statistical test showed that the learning interest of students utilising the matrix domino card media in the experimental class obtained an average = 67.78 and standard deviation = 20.88 while learning without using the matrix domino card media in the experimental class obtained the average data of students' learning interest = 49.72 and standard deviation = 15.48. After the t-test obtained the results that t count > t-table, which is 1.80> 0.354, the results of hypothesis testing obtained are t count > t-table, then Ha is accepted, meaning that there is an increase in student learning outcomes using matrix domino card learning media in class XI SMKN 1 Bayah 2019/2020 academic year.
