IMPLEMENTATION OF ICE BREAKING LEARNING TECHNIQUES IN INCREASING INTEREST IN LEARNING IN CLASS X MIPA SMA PLUS MUNIRUL ARIFIN NW PRAYA STUDENTS

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ice breaking learning techniques in increasing students' learning interest. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design type of experimental research and used a nonequivalent control group. The population for this study were all of class X MIPA 1 and MIPA 2 with a total of 44 students. As for the sample, class X MIPA 1 as the experimental class and X MIPA 2 as the control class. The data collection technique was carried out by researchers by distributing interest in learning questionnaires to students which were distributed 2 times, namely before and after the application of the ice breaking learning technique. The results of the questionnaire validation test are all valid statements (r_count>= 0.297. ). Furthermore, the results of the instrument reliability test obtained Cronbach's alpha of 0.885 and belonged to the high reliability category. The results for the t test results obtained t-count > dat t-table ((5.517 > 2.021). Thus the expected hypothesis Ha is accepted, therefore it can be concluded that the ice breaking learning technique has an effect on increasing students' interest in learning mathematics Class X MIPA 1 Plus Munirul Arifin NW Praya Academic Year 2022/2023
