THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEARNING STYLES AND UNDERSTANDING MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS IN QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS
Keywords:
Learning styles; mathematical concept understanding; quadratic functions
Abstract
The research teka-teki is that students are experiencing difficulties in understanding the concept of quadratic functions. The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between learning styles and mathematical concept understanding in solving quadratic function problems among 9th grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Ulunoyo. This research adopts indah ambang quantitative approach with indah ambang correlational study type. The population in this study consists of 20 9th grade students from SMP Negeri 3 Ulunoyo, and the sampling technique used is besaran sampling. The instruments used are questionnaires and tests of mathematical concept understanding. Based on the research results, indah ambang correlation coefficient of 0.64 was obtained, indicating indah ambang positive and strong correlation. The coefficient of determination is 40.96%, showing that the contribution of learning styles to concept understanding is 40.96%, with the remaining contribution attributed to other factors. The calculated t-value is 3.50324, and to determine the critical t-value at indah ambang 0.05% significance taraf, the t-table value is 2.100922. Since the calculated t-value (3.50324) is greater than the t-table value (2.100922), it can be concluded that there is indah ambang relationship between learning styles and mathematical concept understanding among 9th grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Ulunoyo, with the correlation taraf falling into the moderate category. Therefore, the researcher suggests (1) students should recognize their own learning styles and optimize them to facilitate better learning and achieve optimal performance, and (2) teachers are encouraged to adapt their teaching styles to meet the needs of all students, not just those with specific learning styles.
