PENGARUH PENDEKATAN GENERATIF TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN PEMAHAMAN MATEMATIS DAN KEPERCAYADIRIAN SISWA PADA MATERI JARING-JARING KUBUS DAN BALOK

Abstract

The basic ability that students need to solve a mathematical problem is mathematical understanding. However, that ability can be applied optimally if the students have a good self-efficacy. In this case, the generative approach is one of the alternative solutions to overcome the student’s low mathematical ability and student’s self-efficacy. This research was conducted with the aim to determine the effect of generative approach to student’s ability of mathematical understanding and self-efficacy in students, to find out the effect of conventional approaches to the ability of mathematical understanding and self-efficacy in students, to determine the difference influence between the generative approach and the conventional approach to the ability of mathematical understanding and self-efficacy in students, and also determine whether or not there is a relationship between mathematical understanding ability and self-efficacys. The research used quasi experiment method with nonequivalent control group design. The conclusions obtained from the implementation of this study are generative approaches and conventional approaches have a significant influence on the ability of mathematical understanding and student’s self-efficacy, Generative approaches are not better than conventional approaches in influencing student’s mathematical understanding abilities and student’s self-efficacy, there is no positive relationship between mathematical understanding ability and  self-efficacys.
