The Efforts To Improve Student's Interest In Learning Mathematics By Using The Ctl (Contextual Teaching And Learning) Learning Model In Muhammadiyah 8 Middle Students In Medan T.P 2018/2019

Abstract

In this study, the problem is that the students' interest in learning Mathematics is still low. This study aims to determine whether the application of the CTL (Contextual Teaching and Learning) learning model can increase interest in learning mathematics in VII students of SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Medan TP 2018/2019. This type of research is classroom action research (CAR) with the method used in this study. is qualitative. The subjects of this study were students of class VII-B SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Medan, totaling 34 students. The object in this study was the use of the CTL (Contextual Teaching and Learning) learning model to increase interest in learning mathematics for class VII-B students of SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Medan T.P 2018/2019 The data collection techniques in this study were observation, questionnaires and tests. Observations were used to obtain the results of observations of student interest in learning, the results of questionnaires of student interest in learning and tests were used to obtain the level of mastery of student learning and the implementation of the process of learning the subject matter of algebra using the Contextual Teaching and Learning model.
