Abstract

This study aims to investigate whether or not there the difference between students' mathematics concept comprehension ability by using Think Pair Share (TPS) approach and by using direct learning reviewed based on their preliminary ability (high, medium, and low level). This research was a quasi experiment by using post-test only control group design that aimed to investigating the cause and effect by treating one of classes, and comparing the result of the class that was treated differently. Methods of data collection in this study through observation, documentation and test, involving 42 students of senior high school in Pekanbaru in the even semester of 2017. T test was used to analyse the data. The results showed that there are difference between students' mathematics concept comprehension ability by using TPS approach and by using direct learning reviewed on their preliminary ability to learning outcomes. Classes with TPS approach give better learning outcomes than the ones in direct learning classes. Thus, in general the implementation of TPS approach influenced students' mathematics concept comprehension ability reviewed based on their preliminary ability at Senior High School in Pekanbaru. © 2019 IOP Publishing Ltd.
