Penerapan Pendekatan CTL Untuk Meningkatkan PemahamanKonsep Matematis Siswa Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

This research aims to improve understanding of mathematical concepts of classfive students. The subject of this research were nineteen people. This class action research model uses the Kurt Lewin model. Data collection techniques carried out in this study were written tests and participatory observations. This written test aims to measure the understanding of students mathematical concepts with the form of questions that are adapted to indicators of understanding mathematical concepts. While participatory observation is carried out by two colleagues by filling in the observation sheet during the learning process. With the data collection technique, researchers can write a description related to the development of understanding the mathematical consepts of students in each cycle. The results of an increase in understanding of the mathematical concepts of five A class students at SDN X are quite significant. More than a few students in the classhave experienced an increase in indicators of understanding mathematical concepts in each cycle. This suggests that the CTL (Contextual Teaching and Learning)’s approach can improve the understanding of mathematical concepts of students in the five A class at SDN X, Cidadap Subdistrict, Bandung City.
