Optimizing The Use Of Geogebra With The Motiv-Learning Model: A Case Study Of Technologically Literate And Illiterate Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Motiv-Learning model assisted by the Geogebra application on the mathematical connection ability of technologically literate and technologically illiterate students. The research method in the first stage uses quantitative methods to obtain quantitative data, then in the second stage uses qualitative methods to deepen, expand, and prove quantitative data. The subjects of the study were selected two schools that are classified as technology-blind groups, namely SMPN 1 Tanara which is located in Serang district and SMPN 1 Ciruas which is classified as a technology-literate group located in the middle of Serang city. The sample was selected by 43 students of SMPN 1 Tanara grade VIII and 40 students of SMPN 1 Ciruas grade VIII who were selected by purposive sampling. The instruments used are a description test to assess the ability to make mathematical connections and an interview sheet to get feedback from students. The interviewed students were selected from the categories of mathematical connection skills (high, medium, and low) of each class group. The quantitative data analysis technique  uses a percentage formula and an average difference test, then the quantitative data analysis technique uses data analysis consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing or verification. The results showed that the use of the Motiv-Learning model with the Geogebra application was more optimal, affecting the mathematical connection ability of students who were classified as technologically literate. Students who are in the technology-blind group who are classified as high, medium, and low connection abilities need to increase their learning time at school and practice at home more often using the Geogebra application to hone their skills in utilizing technology in learning. For students who are in the technology literacy group that is classified as a category of low connection ability, it is necessary to practice more often at home using the Geogebra application to hone their skills in using the Geogebra application. By continuing to deepen this understanding, educators can develop more effective strategies in utilizing technology to improve students' overall math connection abilities.
