This study aims to describe the ability of communication and problem solving of mathematical students in the material quadrilateral and triangle in class VII in one district of MTs Bandung. This type of research is qualitative research with phenomenology model which aims to interpret communication ability and ability to solve the mathematical problem of students. The subjects of this study were 24 students for communication skills and 25 students for math problem-solving skills. The result of data analysis shows that the mathematical communication ability of grade VII students in one MTs in Kabupaten Bandung is still relatively low with the highest percentage being in the low communication ability qualification which is 37.5%, while for students who have ability is get percentage equal to 29,2% and for students with high communication skills get a percentage of 33.3%, while for problem-solving skills in class VII is quite good with the highest percentage in qualification students with high problem-solving ability with a percentage of 44%, while for qualified students who ability is getting percentage by 40%, and for low qualifications only got a percentage of 16%.. Keywords: mathematical communication ability, mathematical problem-solving ability

Many creative teaching strategies have been developed in recent years in nursing and other fields to promote active learning. These strategies foster development of problem solving, critical thinking, and communication skills, and they encourage students to work collaboratively with peers. However, in nurse educators’ rush to embrace active learning, lecture has been viewed negatively by some faculty. Rather than positioning active learning against lecture, another approach is to integrate active learning within lecture, gaining the benefits of both methods. An integrated approach also takes into consideration the situation of teaching large groups of students. This article examines benefits of an integrated approach to teaching and presents strategies for active learning intended for use with lecture.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan: (1) keefektifan model pembelajaran kooperatif tipe STAD dan GI, dan (2) manakah yang lebih efektif antara kedua metode tersebut ditinjau dari kemampuan berpikir kritis dan komunikasi matematis siswa. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian eksperimen semu dengan rancangan pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembelajaran kooperatif tipe STAD dan GI keduanya efektif. Tidak terdapat perbedaan keefektifan diantara keduanya  ditinjau dari kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa pada pembelajaran himpunan di kelas VII. Kata Kunci: STAD, GI, berpikir kritis, komunikasi matematis.  THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COOPERATIVE LEARNING STAD AND GI IN TERMS OF CRITICAL THINKING AND MATHEMATICAL COMMUNICATION Abstract This study aims to describe: (1) the effectiveness of cooperative learning model of STAD type and GI, and (2) the more effective model between the two in terms of critical thinking skills and students' mathematical communication. This study is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest nonequivalent group design. The results show that cooperative learning of STAD type and GI approach are effective. There is no difference between them in terms of the effectiveness of critical thinking skills and the students’ mathematical communication skills  in the teaching of the material on sets to class VII. Keywords: STAD, GI, critical thinking, mathematical communication

This research aims to describe the ability in problem solving and the communication skills of the Manggarai Elementary school students; furthermore, investigate the particular aspects needed to pay attention more. This is a descriptive research which was conducted in elementary schools in Manggarai District in April 2014. The subjects of this research are 39 students from 13 elementary schools in Manggarai. The instruments which are utilized are test items, assessment sheets, the ability in problem solving, mathematical communication and interview guideline. The result of the research presents 39 students who become the subjects of the research, did not give the perfect answers towards the test items. Concerning the problem solving ability, the research result shows that not all aspects of problem solving are performed by the students. Concerning the mathematical communication, the research results show that the students’ ability in stating the mathematical situation into mathematical points of idea has been performed well; nevertheless, the elaboration of the problem solving stages are still poor. Based on the research results, it can be summed up that the ability of problem solving and mathematical communication of the students in Manggarai District elementary schools are poor.

This article is a review of international research articles that specifically emphasize the discussion of the ability to read mathematical texts and communicate mathematics as a basis for problem solving. The detailed descriptions include the criteria for understanding in reading a mathematical text; the effectiveness of language-based programs in school mathematics on student understanding; the use of learning approaches and media in building conceptual understanding and communication in solving mathematical problems; and strategies to build mathematical communication.

The emphasis of mathematics learning, especially students' communication skills, needs to be considered from gender equality in solving mathematical problems. This study aims to describe: 1) the potential mathematical communication skills of students based on gender; 2) gender equality in communicating mathematical problem solving; and 3) the suitability of the form of the model or the applied form to develop students' mathematical communication skills based on gender at school. This research is a descriptive qualitative research conducted on all junior high school students in Langsa with a purposive sampling technique of 283 students. The data were collected through mathematical communication skills and questionnaire tests which were analyzed descriptively using the concept of Miles and Huberman. The results showed that: 1) mathematical communication skills of female students were better than male students in solving mathematical problems; 2) mathematical communication skills of male students are better in suburban schools and female students are better in downtown schools; and 3) learning implementation plans are still limited in emphasizing mathematical communication skills and learning tends to be cooperative and individual. It is recommended that learning plans refer to developing mathematical communication skills that pay attention to students' gender equality in order to optimize mathematical problem solving.

This study aims to determine the difference of the mathematical communication skills improvement of students who obtained mathematical learning by problem-solving of scientific approach and Number Head Together (NHT) of cooperative learning and the students who obtained mathematical learning through the use of problem-solving approach only. This research is a quasi-experimental study with nonequivalent control group design. The population of this study was 274 students of 8th-grade who were distributed to seven classes. The samples taken were two classes, each of which consisted of 41 students for the experimental class and 42 students for the control class. The data were analyzed to compare students' mathematical communication skills using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics t-test. The result of this research showed that the mathematical communication skills improvement through the application of problem-solving of scientific approach and NHT of cooperative learning was higher than the mathematical communication skills of students who used a problem-solving approach only.
