Effectiveness of experiential learning-based teaching material in Mathematics
<span>This research was aimed at finding out the effectiveness of experiential learning-based teaching material in Mathematics on the Mathematics cognitive ability of the fifth-grade student in elementary school. This research used quasi-experimental design involving two sample groups: experiment and control group. The sampling technique in this research used simple random sampling. The subject of this research was 54 students </span><span lang="IN">from</span><span> the fifth-grade elementar</span><span lang="IN">y</span><span> school in Gunungpati Sub-district in the academic year 2017/2018. This study involved 28 students of the fifth-grade elementary school Nongkosawit 02 as the experimental group and 26 students of the fifth-grade elementary school Sadeng 03 as the control group.</span><span lang="IN"> The instrument used in this research was multiple choice test consisting of 30 questions. The test was used to obtain pretest and posttest score.</span><span lang="IN">The data analysis in this research used T-independent test to examine the hypothesis. The result of the study shows the significance level of 0.000 is less than </span><span>α = 0.05</span><span lang="IN"> which means that there is different cognitive ability between the experimental and control group. Thus, the use of experiential learning-based teaching material in Mathematics is effective to improve the Mathematics cognitive ability of the fifth-grade student in elementary school</span><span>.</span>
