The Influence of Independence and Mathematical Communication Skills on Student Learning Outcomes in the Material of Relations and Functions

Abstract

The independent and communication skills in mathematics learning are
two very important competency components that students must master and greatly
influence student learning outcomes. However, students at SMPN 4 Mataram have
relatively low independence and mathematical communication skills. As a result,
student learning outcomes obtained by more than 50% are classically below the
KKM. Therefore, this research focuses on two variables that influence learning
outcomes, namely independence and mathematical communication skills. This
research uses quantitative methods. The population was 125 class VIII students.
Using Simple Random Sampling, a sample of 32 students was obtained. Data on
class VIII students at SMPN 4 Mataram for the 2023/2024 academic year was
collected using questionnaires and tests. By using regression analysis the results
obtained were 1) There was an influence of independence on student learning
outcomes in relation and function material of 25,4%; 2) There is an influence of
mathematical communication skills on learning outcomes V of 43,8%. 3) There is an
influence of independence and mathematical communication skills together on
student learning outcomes in relation and function material of 72,4%
