USE OF ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE LEARNING EFFECTIVENESS AND LEARNING INTEREST OF CLASS X STUDENTS OF VOCATIONAL SCHOOL 46 JAKARTA IN LOGARITHM STUDIES

Abstract

In general, students of SMK Negeri 46 Jakarta in mathematics have experienced a decline in learning outcomes, especially in logarithmic materials, to overcome this problem SMK 46 conducts research in order to obtain the most effective teaching to be used both on current and future occasions. On this occasion the researcher conducted a study on the students' low mastery of logarithmic material, and what became the focus of this study was the ineffectiveness of the teaching carried out by the teacher in teaching the logarithmic material. The ineffectiveness of the teaching carried out by the teacher is thought to be due to the ineffectiveness of teachers in using learning strategies. This is indicated by the tendency of the teacher to teach the material using the classical lecture method. Based on the desire to find appropriate and efficient learning strategies to improve the results of the mastery score of logarithmic material from class X students of SMK Negeri 46 Jakarta, the researchers felt the need to conduct this research. The improvement of learning outcomes on logarithmic material and learning effectiveness that is expected by researchers is by directing active student learning in large groups and in small groups. In addition to the expectations that have been stated above, this research is expected to change the paradigm of teachers in carrying out learning from the teacher as a learning center so that it switches to students. In order to realize the expectations desired by researchers as above, the researcher applies active learning strategies using large group learning techniques and small group learning
