PENINGKATAN KUALITAS PEMBELAJARAN KALKULUS I MELALUI MODEL PEMBELAJARAN KONTEKSTUAL YANG DIBANTU DENGAN KOMPUTER

Abstract

The goal of the this research was to plan and to apply Computer Assisted Contextual Learning and Teching model for Kalkulus I course to enhance the quality of learning and teaching processes. The research was conducted at the Study Program of Mathematics, the Faculty of Teacher Training, the University of Sebelas Maret on the year 2004/2005. There was 36 students participated in the course. The research was done using action research wich consist of 3 cycles, in wich for each cycle consist of 4 steps, that were : (a) planning, (b) acting, (c) observation and interpretation and (d) analysis and reflection for the next plan. In the course of learning and teaching process, from the first cycle until the last cycle, the quality of learning and teaching process in the class have been improved. The indicators were for example, a multiple interaction appeared at the discussion group of students. The students motivation to learn Kalkulus was also very high, wich was indicated by student activity for doing course task. From students achievement point of view, students achievement was better than student achievement in the last year. Based on the research finding above, it was concluded that using Assisted Contextual Learning and Teching model can improve the quality of learning and teaching processes in Kalkulus I course.
