Three Parts of 21 Century Skills: Creative, Critical, and Communication Mathematics through Academic-constructive Controversy

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of critical, creative and communication thinking after participating in learning academic-constructive controversy. Sequential explanatory design with sequential phase design analysis was used for the test results of two classes of junior high school students. The results showed that the experimental group was better than the control group for creative, critical, and communication mathematic. Completeness of the characteristics of the three abilities is in line with the ability of students, but they experience obstacles to communicating. Unfortunately, this study is only limited to quadrilateral topics. Academic-Constructive controversy learning can be used to develop three skills or even develop character qualities going forward.

PENGEMBANGAN TES MATEMATIKA BERBASIS POWERPOINT VISUAL BASIC FOR APPLICATION (VBA) DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH MATEMATIKA SISWA

This study aims to determine the implications of mathematical tests developed through PowerPoint Visual Basic for Application (VBA) in improving students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. Powerpoint Visual Basic for Application (VBA) is an interactive learning media that is used in learning and is able to display interesting learning and is used to design daily practice questions or evaluation of learning. This study uses the R & D method with data collection techniques used are interviews, validation, and tests. Interviews aim to analyze problems in schools, validation needs to be done for product feasibility tests based on expert teams, while the test aims to determine the product implications that have been developed on mathematical problem-solving abilities. Products are developed based on school needs using Visual Basic for Application (VBA). The results of this study obtained a probability value smaller than t-count (0.050 <2.011) in other words there were significant differences in the mean values between the experimental class and the control class so that PowerPoint tests based on Visual Basic for Application (VBA) had implications for improving ability solving student math problems

Psichological disposition of student; Mathematics anxiety vesus happines learning on the level education

The purpose of this study is to analyze students' psychological dispositions about student learning anxiety and happiness on the level of education. Elementary school, Junior high school,, and Senior High School students in the city of Cirebon were the subjects in this study. Mixed methods research with a sequential transformative strategy model was chosen to answer the problem of this research. Through a stratified random sampling technique, two types of research data were obtained; quantitative and qualitative data. Both of these data were analyzed by two data analysis techniques. Quantitative data analysis used is chi-square and contingency correlation, while qualitative data analysis uses the triangulation of data sources. The results showed that there were differences in the level of mathematics anxiety and learning happiness of students at each level of education. Senior High School students have a high level of math anxiety when compared to elementary and Junior high school students. While in terms of happiness, learn, students, the elementary school is happier learning when compared to the other two types of students. This condition is also strengthened by the existence of a significant relationship between mathematics anxiety, and happiness learn student with the level of education

Sex Education Pattern for 12 Years Compulsory Education Age in Digital Era

This study aims to produce an educational pattern of appropriate sex education for 12 years compulsory education students. The research method used was a literature review. Furthermore, primary and secondary data sources consist of the views of experts, previous relevant studies and debates of the academic community. Content analysis was used as a data analysis technique, and the process of interpreting this research data comes from the results of the latest expert reviews. The results showed that there was no standard sex education pattern for 12 years compulsory education students adjusted to the level of understanding and mental of students. This study offers three sex education pattern: 1) for 2-5 years old children it can begin with the introduction of differences in sex and parts of the human body and begin to introduce the veil or long skirt for girls and then, they are accustomed to cover their aurat. 2) For primary school-age children, the educational games and the right place for the educational process and knowledge of sex about baligh signs are needed. 3) For middle age and adolescents, free sex danger socialization programs and the provision of education about the dangers of sex without legal marriage are suggested

Using the learning of reciprocal teaching based on open ended to improve mathematical critical thinking ability

This study aims to determine the application of reciprocal teaching approach assisted by open-ended problem questions which have implications in improving the mathematical critical thinking skills of students in class VII of  SMPN 1 Weru Cirebon. This type of research is true experimental research in a randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The instruments used in this study were questionnaires and tests of students' mathematical critical thinking skills. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistics and inferential statistical analysis with the F test (One Way ANOVA). Based on the results of the descriptive analysis, the responses of the experimental class 1 students> the response of the experimental class 2 students (76.94> 73.42), the results of the improvement in students' critical thinking skills obtained by the experimental class Gain value 1> experiment 2> control (0.65> 0 , 56> 0.48). Based on the inferential analysis, obtained F_count > F_table (25,213> 5,34) and Sig value <0,05, then H0 is rejected, meaning there are significant differences between the three classes. Furthermore, the Tukey's HSD test was obtained that the mean difference value of the experimental class 1> experiment 2> control. Then it can be concluded that the application of the reciprocal teaching model assisted with the open-ended problem has implications in improving the mathematical critical thinking skills of the students

Kemampuan Komunikasi Matematika Siswa Ditinjau dari Perbedaan Gaya Belajar Menurut David Kolb

The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of student learning styles according to David Kolb's classification, to learn the average mathematical communication skills that have diverger learning styles, assimilators, convergers and accommodators, and to know whether or not there are significant differences in mathematical communication skills between students has a learning style diverger, assimilator, converger and accommodator. This research was conducted in MAN 2 Cirebon. The instruments used were the Learning style inventory (LSI) and mathematical communication skills tests. This type of research is a comparative study with a quantitative approach. Based on the results of data processing, the distribution of student learning styles included in diverger learning styles was 17% of students, assimilators were 27% of students, converger was 20% of students, and accommodators were 36% students. Using a scale of 0-50, the average mathematical communication ability of students is 28.63. Whereas when viewed from each distribution of learning styles, the ordinary mathematical communication skills of students diverger 12.80, students assimilator 32.88, student converger 44.17, and accommodator students 24.27. Based on the results of the analysis with the ANOVA test that there is a significant difference in students' mathematical communication skills between the learning style diverger, assimilator, converger and accommodator with a significant level of α = 5%.

Instrumen dalam penelitian ini adalah angket untuk mengukur self efficacy siswa dan tes untuk mengukur kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa angket self efficacy siswa dengan rata-rata sebesar 70,66 atau 71 % dengan kategori baik atau kuat. Siswa laki-laki memperoleh nilai rata-rata 68,04 dengan persentase 67% dan siswa perempuan memperoleh nilai rata-rata 73,46 dengan persentase 73%. Terdapat perbedaan self efficacy siswa berdasarkan nilai rata-rata dengannilai signifikan 0,023 < 0,05. Kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika siswa MAN 3 Cirebon mempunyai rata-rata sebesar 61,30 dalam kategori sedang.
