Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Learning Cycle 5E untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Komunikasi Matematis dan Keaktifan Belajar Siswa SMP

Abstract

The research was grounded by the results of previous research which showed that
mathematical communication ability and learning activity students are not as expected. One of models
learning for enhancing mathematical communication ability is Learning Cycle 5E.The purpose of this
research is to comprehensively describe the enhancement of students’ mathematical communication
ability and learning activity as a result of learning cycle 5E. This research is a quasi-experiment with
classroom action research study that applies two learning models; learning cycle 5E and ekspositori
learning. Population of this research ia all student in SMP Negeri 22 Bandung. Sampling used by
purposive sampling, VIII represent as sampling. Research instruments are mathematical
communication tes, scale and observation sheet. Data analysis is based on the whole student. The
result obtained are: 1) learning by using models learning cycle 5E on the subject of the circle can
improve the student mathematical communication ability ; 2) Activity of students who were thaught
under learning cycle 5E is better than activity of students who were taught under expository learning:
3) students’ mathematical communication ability who were thaught under learning cycle 5E is better
than who were taught under expository learning; 4) students' attitudes toward learning mathematics by
using modellearning cycle 5E is positive. Therefore, the study of mathematics by using model learning
cycle 5E can be used as an alternative model of learning in an effort to improve students' mathematical
communication ability
