Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability in Quantum Learning Model Assisted by Student Worksheets in Terms of Learning Motivation

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving skills are very important for learning and everyday life. One effort to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills is to apply the Quantum Learning model assisted by Student Worksheets. This study aims to (1) examine the effectiveness of the Quantum Learning model assisted by Student Worksheets on mathematical problem-solving ability and (2) describe the mathematical problem-solving ability in the Quantum Learning model assisted by Student Worksheets in terms of learning motivation. This research used mixed methods with a sequential explanatory design. The samples in this study were students of class VII K as the experimental group and students of class VII J as the control group. The results showed that (1) the Quantum Learning model assisted by Student Worksheets is effective in improving the mathematical problem-solving abilities of seventh-grade students and (2) students in the high learning motivation category have high mathematical problem-solving abilities, students in the moderate learning motivation category have moderate mathematical problem-solving abilities, and students in the low learning motivation category have low mathematical problem-solving abilities.
