THE INFLUENCE OF MATHEMATICAL REASONING AND COGNITIVE STYLE TOWARD STUDENT’S COMUNICATION AND CONNECTION ABILITY TO THE STATISTICAL TOPIC IN CLASS XI EXACT OF PUBLIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL PALU
ABSTRACT: The research is an
expost facto research which aims to discover there is influence of mathematical
reasoning ability and cognitive style toward student’s communication and
connectionability to the statistical topic in class XI Exact of public senior
high school in Palu. The population of the research was all of the students of
class XI Exact of Public Senior High Schools in Palu of academic year
2015/2016. The sample was selected by two-stage proportional stratified simple
random sampling. The sample of the research was students of XI IPA-1 in SMAN 1 Palu,
XI IPA-1 in SMAN 3 Palu, XI IPA-2 in SMAN 4 Palu, XI IPA 1 in SMAN 6 Palu, and
XI IPA in SMAN 8 Palu. The number of sample was 138 students. The instrument of
the research were mathematical reasoning test, Group Embedded Figures Test
(GEFT), Communication ability to the statistical topic test, and Connection
ability to the statistical topic test. The data obtained were analyzed by using
descriptive statistical and inferensial statistical analysis with Multivariate
Analysis of Analysis of Variance (MANOVA). The results of the research show
that: (1) there is no interaction between mathematical reasoning ability and
cognitive style toward students’ communication and connection ability to the
statistical topic, (2) there is no difference of communication ability to the
statistical topic between students with FI style and students with FD style,
(3) there is no difference of the connection ability to the statistical topic
between students with FI style and students with FD style, (4) there is a
difference of communication ability to the statistical topic between students
with high mathematical reasoning and students with low mathematical reasoning,
and (5) there is a difference of connection ability to the statistical topic
between students with high mathematical reasoning and students with low
mathematical reasoning
