The Effect of Handep Cooperative Learning Model on Social Skill and Motivation to Learn Mathematics

摘要

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of Handep cooperative learning model to the student's social skill and motivation in mathematics learning. It was conducted through the posttest only control group design. The sample were 68 students of sixteen to seventeenth years old, selected from the population of 309 students. The results showed that there was the significant difference social skill and motivation in learning mathematics of students who learned using handep cooperative learning model than those who learned by using conventional teaching model. In other words, the students who were taught by using handep achieved higher social skill and motivation than those who learned by using conventional teaching model. The results of the study have implications for the selection method of learning mathematics in school that teachers, need to pay attention to aspects of the cultural background of students. The application of the cooperation model of mutual help in the study of mathematics material backed with reflective questions in teaching materials.
