The Implementation of Learning Tournament Strategy on Linear Equation in One Variable

Abstract

 The fact that is often found in schools so far, the learning process of mathematics still uses conventional methods. This study aimed to see the effect of applying the learning tournament strategy on student learning outcomes on the linear equation in one variable in VII grade at SMP N 11 Pontianak. The method used in this research was quasi-experimental. The research sample was students of VII A grade as the experimental class and VII C grade as the control class. The experimental group learning outcomes obtained an average score of 28.525, with a percentage of 63.39, while the learning outcomes in the control group obtained an average score of 22.625 with a percentage of 50.28. The results of the t-test with independent samples test obtained a Sig score. (2-tailed) = 0.000 <½ 0.025, then H0 is rejected, so it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in student learning outcomes between the class given the learning tournament learning and the class given conventional learning on the linear equation in one variable. Keywords: Learning Tournament, Learning Strategy, Linear Equation of One Variable
