MASTER-Assissted Concept Map Strategy in Increasing Activity and Student Learning Outcomes of Mathematics Education,Program in Analytical Geometry Courses (Case study at Faculty of Education and Teacher Training UMSU)

Abstract

One of the learning strategies that are expected to provide students with learning motivation, innovative, shaping skillsand learning independence is MASTER-assisted concept map strategy. This study is a classroom action study that aims toimprove the teaching and learning process in mathematics education program of Faculty of Education and Teacher Training,University of Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (FKIP UMSU) at the second semester on analytical geometry lectures of flat field.The subject of the study is the second semester students of Morning A class at Mathematics Education Program of FKIP UMSUin 2014/2015 academic year which are 44 people. This classroom action research is conducted in 3 cycles. Each cycle consists ofplanning, execution of action, observation and reflection. Data were collected through observation, learning result test and lecturerrecord during the learning process. From the results of data analysis, it is concluded (1) The use of MASTER-assissted conceptmap strategy can enhance the student activity of mathematics education program of UMSU on analytic geometry lectures of flatfield and (2) The use of strategies MASTER-assissted concept map strategy can enhance student learning outcomes ofmathematics education program of UMSU on analytical geometry lectures of flat field.
