Promoting Active Citizenship in Mathematics and Science Teaching

The world is facing severe global challenges such as climate change, food security, rising migration, social justice, or the current corona crisis. In these times, citizenship education seems more important than ever. How can this citizenship education relate to mathematics and science learning? The research project MaSDiV (Supporting mathematics and science teachers in addressing diversity and promoting fundamental values) connected mathematics and science with citizenship education by modeling real-life problems relevant to society. In this paper, we present the foundational design features of the PD course as well the results from the accompanying evaluation of this PD course, which was implemented by partners in six countries to support teachers in connecting mathematics and science education with citizenship education. More specifically, we investigate how participating teachers experienced the PD program; how their self-efficacy beliefs, learning-related beliefs, as well as teaching practices change; and which factors contributed to that change. In order to investigate the outcome of the PD program, we surveyed N = 311 mathematics and science teachers’ pre- and post-participation of the PD in six different European countries. Among others, our results show that in general, most participating teachers reported a high overall satisfaction with the course across all six participating countries. They also indicate that teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs about using relevant contexts, their learning-related beliefs about the benefits of using contexts, as well as their own teaching practice changed significantly after participating in the MaSDiV PD course.

Hasil Belajar Siswa Pada Materi Peluang Melalui Model Connected Mathematics Project Di Kelas VIII

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui hasil belajar siswa pada materi peluang setelah diterapkan model pembelajaran Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) di kelas VIII. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas VIII.1 SMPN 1 Palembang yang terdiri dari 29 orang. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan, yaitu tes tertulis yang terdiri dari tiga soal uraian dan wawancara sebagai pendukung data tes. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil belajar siswa pada materi peluang secara keseluruhan dikategorikan baik dengan rata - rata adalah 76,09, dengan rincian siswa terkategori sangat baik sebanyak 20,69%, terkategori baik sebanyak 44,83%, terkategori cukup sebanyak 24,14%, dan terkategori kurang sebanyak 10,34%. Siswa yang terkategori sangat baik dan baik secara keseluruhan mampu menentukan peluang kejadian dengan mencari banyak ruang sampel dan kejadian suatu percobaan dengan baik. Sedangkan siswa yang terkategori cukup dan kurang masih belum mampu menentukan peluang kejadian yang disebabkan oleh kesalahan dalam menentukan banyak ruang sampel dan kejadian suatu percobaan. Kata kunci: hasil belajar; CMP; peluang This research is a descriptive research that aims to find out student learning outcomes in material of probability after applying model of learning namely Connected Mathematics Project (CMP) in class VIII. The subjects of this research were students of class VIII.1 from SMPN 1 Palembang which consists of 29 students. Technique of collecting data that used on this research were written test which consist of three essay question and interview as a supporter of test data. The research results shows that student learning outcomes in the material of probability overall are categorized good with the average is 76.09, with categorized of excellent students as much as 20.69%, good categorized as much as 44.83%, enough categorized as much as 24.14% , and the low categorized as much as 10.34%. Students who are categorized excellent and good, overall are able to determine the probability of the event by finding sample space and events of an experiment well. While students who are categorized enough and low still have not been able to determine the probability of events caused by errors in determining the sample space and the event of an experiment. Keywords: learning outcomes; CMP; probability

Penerapan Model Connected Mathematic Project untuk Meningkatan Kemampuan Berpikir Kreatif Matematis Siswa Madrasah Aliyah

This study aims to find out (1) whether or not there is an increase in mathematical creative thinking skills of Madrasah Aliyah students; (2) Student activities during mathematics learning with the connected mathematics project Learning model. This research was conducted at the Aliyah Mathla'ul Anwar Madrasah Menes Center in the first semester of the 2017/2018 school year. The research method used is the quasi-experimental method. The population in the study was class XI Madrasah Aliyah Mathla'ul Anwar Pusat Menes Pandeglang District, while the sample was taken randomly from two classes from six classes in the school. Class XI Religion is an experimental class, namely a class that has learned to apply the connected mathematics project and class XI IPS as a control class, namely a class whose learning applies conventional learning. Question test data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics using the average difference test. The results of the study show: (1) There is an increase in mathematical creative thinking skills using the connected mathematics project learning model; (2) Positive student activities during mathematics learning with the connected mathematics project learning model.

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Connected Mathematic Project terhadap Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematika

<pre><em><span lang="EN-US">The purpose of the research is to determine the Impacts of Connected Mathematics project Learning Method on Student’s Mathematics Problem solving Skills at SMP Putra Bangsa. The research method is experiment. Sample of the research is taken from affordable population by using cluster random sampling technique. Size of population is 40 students that divided into two class. The instrument used is essay test as much as 6 items. Analysis technique in this research is t test. Testing requirements of data analysis is Liliefors test for normality and fisher test for homogeneity test. In experiment class L test = 0.1143 and L table = 0.190. in control class L test = 0.0868 and L table=0.190, because L test ? L table, so Ho is received and it can be concluded that the data of the population in normal distribution. F test for homogeneity , F test=1.826 and F table=2.17, because F test? F table, so both of class has same varians or homogen. The result of data analyze t test=3.16 and t table=2.03 at significance level ?=0.05 and freedom degrees=38, so there are impacts of connected mathematics project learning model on mathematics problem solving skills.</span></em></pre>
