Abstract

The affective aspects must be owned by students in a lesson, where the affective aspects will have a relationship with the cognitive aspects of a student, therefore this study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between students 'mathematical dispositions and students' mathematics learning outcomes. Using a mixed method and a sequential explanatory plan, the research was undertaken by first collecting quantitative data and then continuing to collect qualitative data. Where, the sample count in this study was 413 students from junior secondary schools 18 in Jambi City, Indonesia who used a total sampling technique. Data were then analyzed with the help of SPSS 21 application to find descriptive statistics in the form of mean, min, max, and category as well as inferential statistics using Pearson Product Moment. The results obtained in this study dominate both the mathematical disposition of pupils and the learning outcomes of pupils in mathematics. This was reinforced by the existence of a relationship between mathematical disposition and student learning outcomes in mathematics which is indicated by the obtained sig 0.05. This means that the mathematical disposition of students which includes the affective aspect of students has a relationship with the cognitive aspect, by having a good affective aspect, the cognitive aspects of the student are also good.

Highlights

  • Mathematics is one of the most important sciences to be studied at all educational levels

  • Students' disposition to math is reflected in their attitudes and actions in choosing an approach to tasks that will relate to learning outcomes

  • The novelty of this study is to see that the mathematical disposition of students has a good relationship with the results of students' learning mathematics

Summary

Introduction

Mathematics is one of the most important sciences to be studied at all educational levels. The essence of learning mathematics is a mental activity to understand meanings and relationships and symbols, apply them in real situations [1], [2]. Mathematics is indispensable and useful in everyday life, for science, commerce and industry, and because mathematics provides a powerful, short and unambiguous means of communication and functions as a means of description and prediction. Mathematics is known for its abstractness in addition to some forms which deviate from the reality of the human environment. Mathematics develops greatly when required and technology [3], [4]. It is necessary that each one familiarizes himself with mathematics, to understand the role and advantages of mathematics in the future
