The Effects of the Application of Generative Learning Model with Brainstorming Technique on Students' Mathematical Reasoning and Communication Abilities

摘要

The purpose of the research was to analyze the effect of the application of generative learning model with brainstorming technique on students' mathematical reasoning and communication abilities in State Junior High. The sample of the research included the students of Grade VIIIa in total of 16 students of State Junior High School 2, Karangrejo, Tulungagung. A quantitative approach with one group pretest-posttest experimental design was adopted. The class was taken randomly. The data were collected using tests and interviews. The data were analyzed using a paired sample t - test with the significance level of 0.05. The research result has revealed that the generative learning model with brainstorming technique contributed significant effects on the students' mathematical reasoning and communication abilities.
