PENGARUH STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN DAN KECEMASAN TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR MATEMATIKA

Abstract

The research is intended to discover the effect of instructional strategies and math anxiety on
learning outcomes in mathematics. Factorial design 2 x 2 was employed in order to answer the
research question how the effect of the instructional strategies and math anxiety on learning outcomes
in mathematics.The study supports the following hypotheses: 1) in general, students who were taught
by using problem based learning (PBL) strategy had higher learning outcomes than those taught by
expository strategy, 2) students with higher math anxiety who were taught by using PBL strategy had
higher learning outcomes than those by expository strategy, 3) students with lower math anxiety who
were taught by PBL strategy had lower learning outcomes than those by expository strategy, and 4)
there was an effect of interaction between instruction strategies and math anxiety on students learning
outcomes in mathematics. It means that the effect of instructional strategies has a correlation with the
characteristic of the students who engage in teaching learning process. It implies that there is no
single instructional strategy that gives better result on learning outcomes in mathematics for all
students with the different math anxieties. Based on this research findings mathematics vocational
teachers in the field of technology and industry should apply several instructional strategies to serve
students with different math anxieties.
