Influence of Anxiety Mathematically, Mathematical Connection Capabilities, and Independence Learning Against Math Learning Outcomes for PSTEP Students at Open University

Abstract

Teacher  is the starting point in the learning process in schools. Open University (UT) Indonesia as a higher education institution deeply understand the problems faced by primary teachers. One of the subjects in the curriculum of primary education that still become the biggest challenge for primary school teachers are Learning Mathematics Subjects and Mathematics Subjects, as well as subjects related to Mathematics. Based on the results pre-survey made numerous Learning Groups (Pokjar), indicating a link between anxiety, the mathematical connection capability, independent learning and learning outcomes in mathematics. This research was conducted using the Mixed Method, i.e., exploratory design. This study was previously set using qualitative procedures followed by the quantitative. Two instruments are arranged. i.e., questionnaire systematic list for in-depth interviews and instruments in the form of questionnaires for quantitative purposes. The variable in this study is the variable Anxiety (X₁), variable Mathematical Ability Connection (X₂), variable Independence Learning (X₃), and the variable Results of Math (X₄). The population in the study were all students of the Open UniversityPrimary School Teacher Education Program (PSTEP) in Lampung Province who took the Study of Mathematics and Mathematics Education. Samples of this study were drawn from Learning Group of Sidomulyo, in South Lampung, Learning Group of Pekalongan, in East Lampung, and Learning Group of Sribhawono, in East Lampung, with the number of students more than 202 people. There is a relationship or the influence of all observed variables, both variable anxiety, variable mathematical connection, variable learning independent capabilities and variable outcomes learning mathematics. This means in mathematics student learning outcomes at Open University Regional Office of Lampung is affected by anxiety, mathematical connection capability and independent learning.
