Students’ learning achievement using Knisley learning model with Brainstorming method

[摘要] This study aims to determine whether there is an influence of using Knisley learning model with Brainstorming method toward students' mathematics learning achievement. This experimental research conducted in one of junior high schools in South Sulawesi, Indonesia by taking a class randomly from the eight grade. The research was carried out during seven meetings consisted of one pre-test meeting, one post-test meeting and five preferential treatment meetings. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Based on the score of pre-test and post-test, the students scores show an improvement from low to high category. The average of students score in post-test was complete which was approximately three-fourth of the total percentage, while in reverse, a hundred percent of students' score in pre-test showed students failure to reach a standard completeness score set by school. Furthermore, gain normalization analysis illustrated a well increase of students learning achievement because its values experienced high category. According to those progress and supported by the result analysis of teacher and students activities sheets and students responses sheets to the learning, it can be concluded that that there is an influence of using Knisley learning model with brainstorming method as its result shows a positive change toward the students' mathematics learning achievement.
