THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE THINKING ALOUD PAIR PROBLEM SOLVING LEARNING MODEL ON STUDENTS' MATHEMATICAL COMMUNICATION SKILLS

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe: (1) The mathematical communication skills of students taught with the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving learning model achieve classical completeness, (2) The mathematical communication skills of students who are taught with the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving learning model are better than those of students who are taught with the conventional learning model. The population in this study is 60 students in grade VIII of the even semester of Muhammadiyah Margasari Junior High School for the 2023/2024 academic year. Sampling was done using purposive sampling techniques. The data collection method used is the documentation and test method, previously the data was tested with validity, reliability, differentiation, and level of difficulty. The data analysis technique uses a t-test of one right-hand sample, a z-test of one right-hand sample, and a t-test of one right-hand hand for two samples, with normality and homogeneity tests first carried out. The results of the study show that: (1) The mathematical communication skills of students taught with the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving learning model achieved completeness with the result of , then the average sample was more than the KKTP, which was 70 and  so that the number of students who achieved the KKTP was more than 75%, (2) The mathematical communication skills of students taught with the Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving learning model were better than students who are taught with the conventional learning model, the results are obtained from the t-test where .
