Effect Of Students Creativity In Wolfram Mathematica Assisted On Learning Achievement In Linear Algebra Course

Abstract

Good and innovative teaching materials are able to increase the creativity of learners. Utilization of wolfram mathematica assisted linear algebra instructional materials in learning can help students in solving linear algebra problems and bring the creativity of students thus increasing the achievement of students in the subject of linear algebra. This study aims to look at the effect on the student creativity againts learning achievement of students in linear algebra course. This type of research is Quasy Experimental. Population in this study is the second semester students 2015/2016 majoring in mathematics education FPMIPATI University PGRI of Semarang. This research subject is class 2A and class 2B. Selection and determination of research subjects is taken by purposive sampling. The variables of this research are the creativity of students as independent variables and learning achievement as the dependent variable. Data collection is through observation and learning achievement test. Data analysis is using the effect test. From the research results it can be concluded that learning by utilizing wolfram mathematica assisted linear algebra- instructional materials have a positive effect of students’ creativity on student achievement that is demonstrated by its influence contributions on the class 2A of 16% and the class 2B of 27.6%.
