THE EFFECT OF APPLICATION OF SEARCH, SOLVE, CREATE, AND SHARE (SSCS) LEARNING MODEL ON STUDENTS' MATHEMATICS COMMUNICATION ABILITY BASED ON PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE IN MATHEMATICS IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether there are differences in mathematical communication skills between students who are taught by the Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) learning model and students who are taught using conventional learning; find out whether or not there is a difference in the mathematical communication skills of students who have high, medium, and low prior knowledge of mathematics; and see whether or not there is an interaction between students' prior knowledge in mathematics and the SSCS learning model on students' mathematical communication skills. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a posttest-only control group design. The population in this study were all seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Tambang for the 2019/2020 academic year. The sample in this study was class VII.1 as the experimental class and class VII.3 as the control class which was selected by simple random sampling. The data was collected by using a test technique in the form of a mathematical communication ability test instrument and PAM test questions. Analysis of the data used for hypotheses 1, 2 and 3 using a two-way ANOVA test. The results of data analysis show that there are differences in mathematical communication skills between students who follow the SSCS learning model and students who follow conventional learning. there are differences in mathematical communication skills between students who have high, medium and low PAM, and there is no interaction of PAM factors on mathematical communication skills. students at SMP Negeri 3 Tambang.
