PENGARUH PENERAPAN PENDEKATAN CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING (CPS) TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN KOMUNIKASI MATEMATIS DITINJAU DARI GAYA BELAJAR SISWA

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the influence of applying the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) approach on mathematical communication skills in terms of student learning styles which are divided into visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. This research is a quasi-experimenta research with The Nonequivalent Pretest - Posttest Kontrol Group Design with a total sample of 43 students. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using a 2-way ANOVA test which was first carried out by the Prerequisite Test. The descriptive research results showed that there were differences in the mathematical communication abilities of experimental class students who applied the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) approach and kontrol classes who did not apply the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) approach to mathematical communication abilities in terms of students' learning styles and the application of the Creative Problem Solving approach. (CPS) is better than conventional in terms of students' learning styles. Inferentially, the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) approach influences mathematical communication skills, learning style has no effect on mathematical communication abilities, and there is no interaction between the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) approach. and learning styles on mathematical communication skills.
