IMPROVING MATHEMATICS COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES THROUGH DIRECT TEACHING MODELS WITH PROBLEM POSING APPROACHES

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' Mathematical Communication Ability through a direct teaching model using the Problem Posing approach. The indicators used are (1) the ability to present mathematical statements in writing through symbols and images, (2) the ability to manipulate mathematics, and (3) the ability to draw conclusions from mathematical statements. The type of research chosen was classroom action research which was conducted in two cycles, the subjects in this study were 26 students of class XII IPA 2 in Sinjai State Senior High School as many as 26 people. The results showed that (1) the average score of mathematical communication skills of students of class XII IPA 2 of Sinjai Public High School 4 after being taught using the direct teaching model and the problem posing approach were in the high category. (2) the activities carried out by students increase especially activities in terms of asking questions from the situation given by the teacher, communicating questions that are asked by other students in writing, and expressing opinions on the teacher and other students, (3) Teacher activities in the learning process well, (4) In general students give a positive response to the problem posing learning approach, as an application of the results of this study it is suggested that in the learning process the teacher should use a direct teaching model with a problem posing approach to improve student communication
