A study of Learning Achievement of Mathematics and Statistics for Daily Life Course in Basic Probability by Using Activity for Cooperative Learning, Jigsaw Technique.

Abstract

Research “One-Group Pre-Post-test Design” was proposed to compare learning achievement before and after learning of students in the topic of the probability by organizing cooperative learning activities with jigsaw techniques. Furthermore, to compare the average score of students who are higher than the threshold of 60 % of the total score. A group of students, the Faculty of Education, Mathematics, 24 people were chosen as a sample group. The draw lots method from the students who register to study Mathematics and Statistics in daily life in the second semester of academic year 2018 was used. A cooperative learning management plan, preliminary probability achievement test, 20 items, and problem issues with preliminary probability were used as tools in the research.  In addition, percentage, mean, standard deviation and T-test statistics were used for data analysis.

        The result shows that the learning achievement score on preliminary probability after studying is higher than before learning at the statistical significance of 0.01 and the average score of learning achievement of students is higher than the threshold of 60 % of the total score with statistical significance at 0.01 level.
