The Influence of Knisley Mathematical Learning Model with Geogebra Towards Mathematical Connection and Mathematical Disposition

Abstract

This research was aimed at comparing mathematical connection and mathematical disposition of student who were taught using Knisley Mathematical learning model with Geogebra and those who learned using conventional learning. This research used quasi experiment method with post-test only control group design. The research population consisted of 213 grade tenth science student at SMA Negeri 6 Denpasar. In addition, cluster random sampling was used to get 2 groups sample. The experimental group was learned using Knisley Mathematical learning model with Geogebra and the control group was treated with conventional learning. The data was collected using test and non-test technique and analysed using Manova. The result showed that mathematical connection and mathematical disposition of students who were taught using Knisley Mathematical learning model with Geogebra were better than students who were taught using conventional learning (F = 4,410; p = 0,016). Knisley Mathematical learning model with Geogebra give students more chance to explore their mind and idea in solving problem, so that can improve their mathematical connection and mathematical disposition.
