Students’ Mathematics Conceptual Understanding in Problem Posing Learning Based on Geogebra Application

Abstract

Abstract

The aim of the research is to analyze the effect of problem posing learning based on Geogebra application toward the students’ mathematics conceptual understanding. The research was conducted on the subject of trigonometric function plots material for X grade students of academic year 2017/2018. The type of the research used Pre-Experimental Design method with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design type. The sample in this research was 39 students. The sample taken by using cluster random sampling method. The students were given treatment in the form of problem posing learning with Geogebra application. The instruments used in this research are the pretest-posttest and student activity observation sheet. The data were analyzed for normality test, N-gain test and t-paired test using parametric analysis method with SPSS 20 applications. The results of the study show significant effect toward conceptual understanding ability. The student’s activity observation indicates active student activity during problem posing learning with Geogebra application.

Keywords: problem posing, conceptual understanding, Geogebra application.
