The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a significant influence of the Rigorous Mathematical Thinking (RMT) learning approach to the conceptual understanding of students of SMP Negeri 5 Kupang grade VIII on the concept of the Two Variable Linear Equation System. This is motivated by the difficulty of students in understanding the subject matter because it is considered difficult so that the resulting understanding of students' mathematical concepts is low. This type of research is quasi experimental research (quasi experiment). The research design used was a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study were all eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 5 Kupang, selecting samples using a purposive sampling technique. Retrieval of data using the instrument test item description and observation sheet. Samples are given a pre-test, the results are to test homogeneity. From the results, both have homogeneous variance. After the treatment of both samples were given a post-test, the results are to test the research hypothesis. Based on the prerequisite test, the sample is normally distributed and the variance is homogeneous. Based on the initial ability test, there was no difference in the average pre-test values of the two samples. The results of the study by using a hypothesis test that is a two-way ANOVA test showed a significance value of 0.784> 0.05 so it can be concluded that there was no difference in students' conceptual understanding based on the sex of students of SMP N 5 Kupang.

This study aims to improve students' creative thinking ability in physics by using conceptual understanding learning learning with LKPD. This quasi experimental study uses non-equivalent control group design. The population is all students of class X MA NW Narmada. The sample was chosen using purposive sampling technique which consist of class XB students as experiment class and XA class student as control class. The research instrument uses verbal and figural creativity tests that have been validated by experts. Hypothesis test using t-pooled variance test. Increased creativity is determined based on the results of the N-gain test. The results showed that there was an increase of students' creativity in both classes. Verbal and figural creativity improves in both classes. The experimental class experienced a higher creativity increase than the control class. Verbal creativity increased higher than the figural creativity. This shows that LKPD conceptual understanding procedure model applied successfully improve the creativity of learners in physics learning.

The aim of the research is to determine the effectiveness of cognitive restructuring techniques to increase learning motivation in students of State Islamic Junior High School 6 Bantul. The type of research is experimental research. The research design uses quasi-experiment. The design uses Non-equivalent Control Group Design. The research population was 8th grade students of State Islamic Junior High School 6 Bantul, amounting to 149 students. The sampling technique in the research used purposive sampling. The criteria for determining the sample in the research are students of State Islamic Junior High School 6 Bantul at 8th grade which indicated to have low learning motivation. The data collection method uses a scale of learning motivation that has gone through validation processes. Data analysis using non-parametric statistics with the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that there were differences in the results of the experimental group's learning motivation before (M=72.17) and after (111.67) the treatment was given (p=0.027<0.05). These results can be concluded that cognitive restructuring techniques are effective to increase students learning motivation.

The influence of cooperative learning type TAI based on chemoentrepreneurship to entrepreneurship motivation and conceptual understanding of students on colloidal system concept. Colloidal system concept was a concept that requires highly analysis with mastery of concepts that must be understood and require students practice in daily life. Learning will be more meaningful and provide a deep understanding of the learners when learning adapted to the characteristics of the subject matter. One effective solution was implement the cooperative learning type TAI based on chemoentrepreneurship. This study aimed to determine the influence of cooperative learning type TAI based on chemoentrepreneurship to entrepreneurship motivation and conceptual understanding of students. The study design used was pretest-posttest control group design, the sampling technique used cluster random sampling. The population in this study were all students of grade XII IPA SMA AL-Hamzar, Thatwas 50 students were divided into an experimental group of 26 students and a control group of 24 students. Entrepreneurship motivation analysis technique using multivariate test obtained scores of experimental group 63%, 74% and score of control group 66%, 68%. While conceptual understanding data using multivariate test with SPSS 16.0 for windows which scores obtained from initial test and final test on the conceptual understanding was no difference between the experimental group and control group that why used T test. Results obtained there was significant influences of cooperative learning type TAI based on chemoentrepreneurship to entrepreneurship motivation and it had no influence on students' conceptual understanding with sig = 0.304 > 0.05. So it can be concluded that there was no influence of cooperative learning type TAI based on chemoentrepreneurship to conceptual understanding of students.

This research is based on the lack of students’ ability in mathematical creative thinking and self concept. For that reason, this study aims to improve the students’ ability of mathematical creative thinking and self-concept through problem-based learning. Using Quasi Experiment method and nonequivalent control group design, this study is included into experimental research. The population of this research is the seventh graders of Junior High School in the district of Cimahi, West Java, Indonesia, and the sampling technique is purposive sampling, with one experimental group which is mathematical learning using problem-based learning (PBM) and one control group which is mathematical learning using conventional onewiththe number of samples in this study were 74 students. The hypothesis test his study is done by using parametric and nonparametric test (t-test and Mann-Whitney). The results showed that mathematical creative thinking and self-concept ability of students who use problem-based learning is better than students who receive conventional learning. Then, the increase of ability and creative thinking of students who use problem-based learning is better than those who receive the conventional learning and their self-concept is classified as being medium

This study aims to examine the effect of mind mapping learning methods on social studies materials comprehension of students at Baleendah 2nd Junior High School. This study used a quasi-experimental method with the design of "nonequivalent control group design" with the pattern of "pretest" and "posttest" and carried out treatments in class VIII-F as the experimental class group and VIII-H as the control group used as a comparison. Sampling uses a purposive sampling technique. Data collection on the social studies material comprehension of students use questions as the main data. After the data is collected, the analysis is carried out quantitatively through hypothesis testing or T-Test. The results of the difference between "pretest" and "posttest" in the experimental class given treatment showed a significant difference in improvement, while the control class between "pretest" and "posttest" which were not given treatment the results were no difference or no improvement. It can be said that there are influences from mind mapping learning methods to on social studies materials comprehension of students.Keywords: comprehension of material, Mind Mapping Learning Method, Social Studies Learning
