The Effect of Mathematics Learning With using Reciprocal Teaching Model on Mathematics Creative Thinking Ability

Abstract

The problem in this research was whether there was an effect of using a reciprocal teaching model on mathematics creative thinking ability of grade VIII students. The objective of this research was to find out the effect of using a reciprocal teaching model on mathematics creative thinking ability of grade VIII students. This research used quantitative method with a quasi-experimental type of research. The population in this research was all of grade VIII which consisted of two parallel classes. Sample in this research took those two classes where VIIIA as experimental class and class VIIIB as control class. The instrument used in this research was test. The research outcome obtained was mean score of the experimental class was 73.28. Meanwhile, at the control class, it obtained mean score was 62.10. from hypothesis test result with using t-test obtained tcount = 5.082 with df = 30 sig. (2-tailed) at 0.000 < 0.05 can be concluded that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted. The application of reciprocal teaching-learning approach had an effect on mathematic creative thinking ability of grade VIII students year 2017/2018.
