Collaborative Inquiry Learning to Improve Students' Mathematical Reflective Thinking Ability

摘要

Mathematical reflective thinking ability is one of the mathematical abilities needed for students because it provides an opportunity for students to think again and determine the best strategy in achieving goals. Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the ability of mathematical reflective thinking by creating of learning environment that focuses on students as the center of activities in the learning process. One of the lessons that can be applied is use inquiry learning in collaborative groups. This study aims to determine the improvement of students' mathematical reflective thinking skills through collaborative inquiry learning. The subject of the research was the eighth-grade students of SMP in Pringsewu, Lampung, Indonesia. The results show that students' mathematical reflective thinking skills using collaborative inquiry learning are higher than students' mathematical reflective thinking skills that do not use collaborative inquiry learning. This study recommends teachers to use collaborative inquiry learning to improve students' mathematical reflective thinking skills.
