This research is motivated by the low ability of solving mathematical problems of junior high school students towards mathematics subjects. This study aims to find out whether the problem solving ability of junior high school students using MURDER Collaborative Learning Model is better than the students who use the Scientific Approach. Method in this research is experiment. The population in this study is all students of class VIII SMP Negeri in Kota Cimahi. The sample was taken by random class, from 13 classes obtained two classes, namely VIII-B as experimental class I and class VIII-C as experiment class IIl. The experimental class I used the MURDER Collaborative Learning Model, while the experimental class II used the Scientific Approach. Research data obtained through the instrument in the form of data pretest and postest mathematical problem solving ability. The data were processed by normality test, homogeneity test, and test of difference of two mean using Minitab 17 software. The results showed that the ability of solving mathematical problems of junior high school students using MURDER Collaborative Learning Model is better than students using the Scientific Approach.

In recent years, educational-support robots, which are designed to aid in learning, have received significant attention. However, learners tend to lose interest in these robots over time. To solve this problem, researchers studying human-robot interactions have developed models of emotional expression by which robots autonomously express emotions. We hypothesize that if an educational-support robot uses an emotion-expression model alone and expresses emotions without considering the learner, then the problem of losing interest in the robot will arise once again. To facilitate collaborative learning with a robot, it may be effective to program the robot to sympathize with the learner and express the same emotions as them. In this study, we propose a sympathy-expression method for use in educational-support robots to enable them to sympathize with learners. Further, the effects of the proposed sympathy-expression method on collaborative learning among junior high school students and robots are investigated.
