IMPLEMENTATION OF MARBLES GAME TO IMPROVE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT'S UNDERSTANDING OF OPPORTUNITY MATERIAL CONCEPTS
Abstract
This study was motivated by the low understanding of students' mathematical concepts. This study aims to determine the differences and improvements in the understanding of mathematical concepts of junior high school students whose learning implements marble games with students who do not implement marble games. This study uses quantitative research with a quasi-experimental method (Quasy Experimental) and a sampling technique through the Purposive Sampling technique. The population in this study were students of class VIII of SMPN 13 Kota Cirebon in the 2024/2025 Academic Year and samples in classes VIII D and VIII E as many as 24 students. The test analysis in this study used non-parametric statistical data analysis using the U-Test. The results of the study: (1) The understanding of mathematical concepts of students whose learning implements marble games is higher than students who receive conventional learning; (2) The increase in understanding of mathematical concepts of students whose learning implements marble games is higher than students who receive conventional learning.
Penelitian ini dilatar belakangi oleh pemahaman konsep matematika siswa yang masih rendah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan dan peningkatan pemahaman konsep matematis siswa SMP yang pembelajarannya mengimplementasikan permainan kelereng dengan siswa yang tidak mengimplementasikan permainan kelereng. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode eksperimen semu (Quasy Experimental) dan teknik pengambilan sampel melalui teknik Purposive Sampling. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII SMPN 13 Kota Cirebon Tahun Ajaran 2024/2025 dan sampel pada kelas VIII D dan VIII E sebanyak 24 siswa. Analisis pengujian dalam penelitian ini menggunakan analisis data statistik non-parametrik menggunakan Uji-U. Hasil penelitian: (1) Pemahaman konsep matematis siswa yang pembelajarannya mengimplementasikan permainan kelereng lebih tinggi daripada siswa yang memperoleh pembelajaran konvensional; (2) Peningkatan pemahaman konsep matematis siswa yang pembelajarannya mengimplementasikan permainan kelereng lebih tinggi daripada siswa yang memperoleh pembelajaran konvensional.
