Comparison of Students’ Mathematical Problem Solving Ability Between Macromedia Flash Media and PowerPoint Media in the Two Stay Two Stray Cooperative Learning Model

Abstract

This study aims to determine the student's mathematical problem solving taught using Macromedia flash and PowerPoint media by applying the Two Stay Two Stray cooperative learning model. This study uses a quantitative approach to the type of quasi-experimental research and non equivalent control group research designs. The study population was students of class VIII Junior high school 3 Tanete Riaja consisting of 2 classes, namely classes VIII A and VIII B. Sampling in this study was by saturated sampling technique by selecting the entire population as a research sample. Data collection uses a mathematical problem-solving test. Data analysis techniques used descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. Based on the research results obtained by the ability to mathematical problem solving of class VIII students of Junior high school 3 Tanete Riaja by using the cooperative learning model type Two Stay Two Strays Macromedia flash media is very high as much as 51.8%, the ability of students to mathematical problem-solving in class VIII Junior high school 3 Tanete Riaja by using the Two Stay Two Stray cooperative learning model PowerPoint media is in the very high category of 48.1%. The application of the Two Stay Two Stray cooperative learning model with Macromedia flash media is more effective in improving the mathematical problem-solving abilities of VIII grade students at Junior high school 3 Tanete Riaja compared to the application of the Two Stay Two Stray cooperative learning model with PowerPoint media.
