The Effect of Reciprocal Teaching Approach on Class VII Students' of SMPN 2 Buru Mathematic Understanding Ability in Angle

Abstract

This article aims to determine how the effect of the Reciprocal Teaching Approach on Students' Mathematical Comprehension Ability in Grade VII Materials of SMPN 2 Buru. The type of research used in this study was a quasi-experimental study, which used pretest-posttest control group designs. The population of this study was all seventh grade students of SMPN 2 Buru in the 2021/2022 academic year as many as 61 students distributed in three classes. The samples of this study were students of class VII 1 and VII 2 who were selected by purposive random sampling technique. The research instrument was in the form of a questionnaire sheet and a test in the form of test questions. The results showed that the reciprocal teaching approach had an effect on the students' mathematical understanding ability in grade VII material at SMPN 2 buru. This can be seen based on the results of the analysis of the independent sample test, the value of t = 7.167 and the value of Sig (2-tailed) = 0.000 because Sig. < α 0.000 < 0.05, thus Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the reciprocal teaching approach has an effect on students' mathematical understanding ability
