The Influence of the Scientific Approach on Learning Motivation and Student Learning Outcomes on Algebra Material Grade VII MTsN 1 Bener Meriah

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine whether there is an influence impact of the Scientific approach on learning motivation and learning outcomes of class VII students. This research was conducted at MTsN 1 Bener Meriah on class VII students in the 2023/2024 academic year. The research method used is experimental research with a Posttest-only Control Design design. Sampling was carried out using cluster sampling. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely class VII-1 as the experimental class and class VII-5 as the control class. In the experimental class, learning with a scientific approach was given, while in the control class conventional learning was carried out. The research results were obtained by processing the data using the right-sided t test statistic. At a significance level of 5%, tcount = 2.70 and ttable = 1.67 were obtained. This shows that tcount> ttable. Meanwhile, for student learning motivation, it was analyzed based on student responses to the scientific approach. The score obtained was 3.35, which is classified as a very positive criterion. The results of this research indicate that there is a significant influence of the scientific approach on the motivation and learning outcomes of mathematics in class VII students of MTsN 1 Bener Meriah
