Students’ mathematics learning achievement in junior high school using 7E learning cycle

Abstract

The aims of this research are to determine the effect of applying the 7E learning cycle model and direct learning of students’ mathematics learning achievement. This research was conducted in several State Junior High School of Nganjuk Regency for academic year 2018/2019. The research method used the experimental method. The sample consisted of 184 students. The experimental class was given a 7E learning cycle model. The control class is given a direct learning model. This research used the documentation method and test method in data collection. Data analysis using a t-test, with a significance level of 5%. Data were obtained from the experimental class and the control class. The results of this research concluded that there were differences in the effect of 7E learning cycle implementation and direct learning on students’ mathematics achievement, and students’ mathematics learning achievement using the 7E learning cycle model was better than students using direct learning. The steps of the 7E learning cycle model such as for elicit, engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate and extend can make students active in learning. To improve student’s mathematics learning achievement in junior high school can use the 7E learning cycle model.
