Pengaruh Pembelajaran Inquiry Training Terhadap Kemampuan Komunikasi Matematis Dan Representasi Matematis Siswa

This studyaims to: 1) assess whether there is an increase in communication skills and mathematical representation of students through learning by using Inquiry Training strategy, 2)examine whether students using Inquiry Traininglearning strategy has better mathematical communication skills than those using conventional learning, 3) examine whether students using Inquiry Traininglearning strategy have better mathematical representation than those using conventional learning strategy, and 4) know students ’attitudes towards learning mathematics using Inquiry Trainingstrategy. Two classes are randomly selected by way of raffle for the research sample. Quantitative analysis is performed on the average normalized gain and on attitudes of students between the two sample groups using Two-Line ANOVA TEST.After data analysis, the results obtained are: 1) The ability of mathematical representation at student who learn using Training Inquirylearning is better than at students who receive conventional learning, 2) communication skills at students who learn mathematics using Training Inquirylearning is better than at students who obtain conventional learning, 3) There are significant differences in improvement of students ’mathematical representation ability among students with high, medium, and low ability.
