The Numbered Heads Together Type Cooperative Learning Model on Students' Understanding of Mathematical Concepts in Grade VIII Mts Negeri 1 Polewali Mandar

Abstract

Learning mathematics at school often present difficulty for students, in particular in understand draft material straight line equation. Students tend experience difficulty in understand gradient, error in determine point cut and not capable drawing graphics, especially if the learning process No support. In case This found p use of learning models in schools the Still not enough diverse. Teachers are more often using a learning model conventional with the teacher playing a role as center information. For overcome problem This requires more learning models active and innovative in increase understanding draft mathematics students. The purpose of study This For know effectiveness of learning models cooperative type Numbered Heads Together (NHT) in increase understanding draft mathematics students on the material straight line equation. Instrument study in study This There is three that is, test understanding draft mathematics, sheets observation implementation learning and questionnaires response students. Data analysis was carried out use analysis descriptive and analytical inferential. Analysis results descriptive show that learning model Numbered Heads Together supports in increase ability understanding draft students and create a learning process more interactive and not monotonous. This study conclude that use of learning media Numbered Heads Together can increase understanding draft student so that impact good on results Study mathematics student.
