Ibnu Hajar Mandiri Junior High School Conducting Research

Abstract

The  purpose of  this  research  is  to  find  out  the  improvement  of  students'  mathematical understanding skills whose learning uses Skinner's learning theory through the Picture  and  Picture model.  The  research  method  used  is  a  true  experimental  method  with  a  purposive sample of class VIII SMPIT Ibnu Hajar Mandiri Bekasi for the 2020/2021 academic year,  amounting  to  36  students.  Sampling  was  done  purposively  with  SPSS  26.  The  instruments   are   in   the   form   of   test   questions   describing   students'   mathematical   understanding  abilities  on  function  material  and  questionnaire  sheets.  The  results  showed  that learning mathematics using Skinner's learning theory through Picture and Picture models can   increase   students'   mathematical   understanding   skills   by   81%   with   very   good   interpretation,  besides  that  there  are  differences  in  the  mathematical  understanding  of  students  whose  learning  uses  Skinner's  learning  theory  through  Picture  and  Picture  models with students who the learning does not use Skinner's learning theory but through the Picture and  Picture model.  Of  the  total  36  students,  there  were  29  students  who  experienced  an  increase,  so  that  the  student's  response  after  using  Skinner's  learning  theory  through  the  Picture and Picture model was considered good
