Abstract
Purpose: This study aims at investigating the effectiveness of the concept map learning model on student reasoning. Methodology: It is an experimental study with the students of Mathematics Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta in 2017/2018 academic year as the population with a total of 35 students of IVB semester as the respondents. The data collection techniques included tests and documentation. Results: The results of the Mann-Whitney Test showed a p-value of 0.012 <α = 5%, hence H0 was rejected, which implied that the scores of the post-test of the two classes were different at the 5% level of significance. It indicates a significant difference in reasoning skills. Applications/Originality/Value: Based on the average values of the two classes, an increase in the reasoning of students in the experimental class is higher than those in control. Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of models and tools of concept maps in the Introduction to Real Analysis has been effective in improving student reasoning.
Highlights
Introduction to Real Analysis is one of the compulsory subjects that must be enrolled by the students of Mathematics Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta
The first year of this study is the development stage which aims at developing learning models and tools for Introduction to Real Analysis based on concept maps
The IVB class consisting of 35 students became the experimental class with the intervention of a concept map learning model, while the IVA class consisting of 35 students became a control class subjected to the conventional learning model
Summary
Introduction to Real Analysis is one of the compulsory subjects that must be enrolled by the students of Mathematics Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. In studying the Introduction to Real Analysis, students are required to comprehend the definition, characteristics, criteria, and proofs of each concept. Introduction to Real Analysis is a pure mathematics course that discusses the definitions, traits, and proofs of the truth of all basic concepts, both abstract and symbolic. In studying the Introduction to Real Analysis, students are required to possess logical and systematic thinking skills. They must be able to understand the concepts in terms of definitions, properties, criteria, or evidence of truth in the concept, and to link the concepts that have been previously discussed to build new concepts
