The Effect of Think-Pair-Share Cooperative Learning Model Assisted With ICT on Mathematical Problem Solving Ability among Junior High School Students

Abstract

The main purpose of this research examines the effectiveness on how mathematics teachers have begun to Integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) with Think Pair Share Cooperative Learning Model to improve students’ mathematical problem solving ability in junior high school classroom practice. This study was experimental research with a quasi-experimental design. The samples of the study are 36 students for classroom experiments and 36 students for classroom control. The instruments employed in this study were pre-test and post-test. The instruments are made in essays forms which design to measure students’ mathematical problem solving ability. The data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Our finding has shown us that (1) Think Pair Share Cooperative Learning model assisted with ICT had a positive impact on student’s mathematical problem solving ability; (2) there is a statistically significant mean difference in students' mathematical problem solving ability between experiment class and control class.
