Abstract

The idea of integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics in problems brings a new paradigm in teaching and learning mathematics. The innovation to use the STEM learning approach and its daily life applications allowed the students to enhance their mathematical communication skills. The research is aimed at determining the effectiveness of the STEM learning approach on mathematical communication ability. The research used Post-test Only Control Group Design. The study population is all of the third-grade elementary school students of SD Laboratorium Undiksha and SD Mutiara Singaraja in the academic year 2017/2018. The sample of the research was selected using a total sampling technique. The member of the samples is 98 students. The data of student’s mathematical communication ability is obtained through a description test. The t-test with a 5% significance level is used for analysing the data. The result of t-test is tcount = 7.278 and t-table = 1.997, so tcount > ttable. It means that students’ mathematical communication ability who followed the learning with learning STEM approach is higher than students’ mathematical communication ability who followed thematic learning. Hence, it can be concluded that the STEM learning approach effectively improved student’s mathematical communication ability.
