Applying of Search, Solve, Create, and Share (SSCS) Learning Model to Improve Students' Mathematical Quantitative Reasoning

摘要

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the application of the search, solve, create, and share (SSCS) learning model can improve students' quantitative mathematical reasoning. This study was a pre-experimental research with one group pretest-posttest design. The population in this study were all grade VIII students at a state junior high school in Lamongan city in the academic year 2019/2010, while the sample was selected using simple random sampling, which was grade VIII A students. Data from pretest and posttest results was analyzed using paired sample t test after fulfilling the requirements of the normality test and homogeneity test. Based on the results of hypothesis testing using SPSS, a probability (sig.) of 0,000 was obtained, which means that H0 was rejected and Ha was accepted, as well as when manual calculations are obtained tcount = 21.358 and ttable = 2.03951 so that tcount>ttable which means that there was a difference in the average value of students' quantitative mathematical reasoning before and after learning the SSCS model. The application of the search, solve, create, and share (SSCS) learning model could improve quantitative mathematical reasoning of students. This research was expected to provide new experiences and insights in teaching mathematics to students.
