THE COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MATHEMATICS LEARNING USING GENERATIVE LEARNING AND PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING OF PRISM AND PYRAMID LEARNING MATERIALS VIEWED FROM THE LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT OF THE GRADE VIII STUDENTS OF MTS PP DARUL QURRO

Abstract

This research study is aimed at figuring out the difference of the effectiveness of Mathematic learning using generative learning model and problem-based learning model viewed from the student’s learning achievement. This study is an experimental study applying pre test-post test design using two classes with one class as the first experiment class and the other as the second experiment class which were chosen using randomized pre test-post test control group design. The samples of this study were randomly chosen from the population. The population was the whole students of grade VIII of MTs PP Darul Qurro, while the samples were the students of grade VIIIA as the experiment class who were taught using generative learning model and those of grade VIIIB as the control class who were taught using problem-based learning model. The method of hypothesis testing was independent sample t-test. The results of the study show that: (1) the implementation of generative learning model in Mathematic subject matter of prism and pyramid learning materials viewed from the student’s learning achievement was effective, which was proved by the higher mean of the post test score which was up to 7.9, higher than the minimum completeness criteria of 7.5; (2) the implementation of problem-based learning in Mathematic subject matter of prism and pyramid was not effective viewed from the student’s learning achievement was not effective, which was supported by the mean score of the post test of 6.2 which was lower than the minimum completeness criteria; and (3) the generative learning model was more effective to be implemented than the problem-based learning model in Mathematic subject matter of prism and pyramid learning materials viewed from the student’s learning achievement.  
Key words: generative learning model, problem-based learning model, student’s learning achievement
