The Relationship between Middle School Students' Learning Independence and Mathematical Reasoning Ability

Abstrak

This research aims to prove whether there is a relationship between independent learning and mathematical reasoning abilities in triangle material in class VII Nurjamilah Middle School, Bekasi. This type of research is quantitative with a correlation approach. The sample in this study was 28 people taken using random sampling technique. The instruments used have been tested for validity and reliability in the form of learning independence questionnaires and objective ability tests. Analysis prerequisite tests include the normality test (Liliefors) and linearity test. The data analysis technique used is to test the significance of the correlation coefficient with the F-test and t-test. The results of the research show: (1) there is a positive relationship between learning independence and mathematical reasoning ability with r_xy=0.462, which means the correlation level is moderate, (2) there is a significant influence between learning independence and mathematical reasoning ability with t_count=2.655>2.056= t_table, (3) the contribution of independent learning to mathematical reasoning abilities is 21.3%. The data obtained is normally distributed and the regression model is linear with the regression equation Ŷ=67.33+0.21X.
