Increasing mathematical communication skill using Quantum Teaching based on Hypnoteaching (QTH) in the Primary School Teacher Education (PSTE) students

Abstract

The lack of mathematical communication ability of the students is the result of less precisely applied learning model. Quantum Teaching based on hypnoteaching is a learning that is expected to improve student’s mathematical communication because by this model the material is explained in an effective and efficient way, and also the provision of hypnoteaching during learning its cause students eager to learn. This study is an experimental research. There are 50 seventh semester students of PSTE student as sample in this experiment selected randomly. An experimental class is provided with Quantum Teaching based on hypnoteaching (QTH), and a control class is given Ordinary Learning (OL). The instruments used are: test, observation sheet, and interview guide. Techniques of data analysis in this study using two-way Analysis of Variance with unequal cells. The result of this research is QTH learning have a better mathematical communication ability than student with OL. Based on the level of early mathematical ability (high, medium, and low), medium and low-ability students show significant differences, but not for high-ability students. Based on the response shown through the test, students with QTH showed an activity, and better Ability compared to OL.
