Mathematical Communicaton Capability and Learning Motivation by Using Means-Ends Analysis (MEA) Learning Model in Grade VIII Students at MTs. Al-Washliyah Tembung

Abstract

This purposes of this research are: (1) the improvement communication ability and learning motivation mathematically of the students by using  Means ends Analysis (MeA) and conventional learning, (2) the interaction between Means Ends analysis (MeA) model and first mathematics ability of students for improve  communication ability and learning motivation mathematically. This research was conducted in MTs.Al-washliyah Tembung Kabupaten Deli Serdang. The kinds of research was quasi-experiment. The population of this research was all  student MTs. Al-washliyah Tembung while the sample devided by two kinds they are VIII-1 classas  experiment and VIII-2 as control class. The sums of student for each class are 32 students. The sampling was done through purposive sampling technique. The research instrument which used were a test of mathematical communication ability and questionnaire of student learning motivation mathematically. The statistical hypothesis testing in this research used two way ANOVA in the SPSS programme. The results showed that (1) the improvement the student’s communication ability and motivation to learn of students who received means ends analysis learning was higher than the improvement of  communication ability and learning motivation who received conventional learning. The average of the improvement mathematical communication of students by using Means ends Analysis (MeA) learning and conventional learning are 0.598 and 0.498, and the average of students by using Means ends Analysis (MeA) and conventional learning are 0.379 and 0.236. (2) no interaction between learning model and first ability mathematics of students in the improvement ability mathematical communication and students learning motivation.
