Abstract

This study aims to describe student self-confidence change by applying the Guided Discovery Learning (GDL) model in the solid geometry course. This type of research is quantitative descriptive. The subject of this study was one class of the Mathematics Education Study Program at one university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The subject was one clash which randomly selected, consisting of 58 students. The instruments used in this study were self-confidence questionnaires, learning achievement tests, and critical thinking skills tests. All of these instruments were used in pre-test and post-test. The results show that by applying the GDL model in the solid geometry course, the self-confidence of 60.34% of students is increased, 0,34% of self-confidence remained, and 29.32% of self-confidence did not reach the minimum completeness criteria and even tended to decrease. Based on the analysis of the results of learning achievement tests and critical thinking skills on the material about solid geometry, it can be seen that students whose self-confidence increases and remains after the application of GDL are students who have high test scores. Meanwhile, students whose self-confidence decreased after implementing the GDL were students who had low test scores. It shows that the GDL is more suitable for students with moderate or high intelligence and less suitable for students with less intelligence. Self-confidence is identical to the indicator of the growth mindset. So, the level of self-confidence takes part in a person’s growth mindset, where the growth mindset affects a person’s success at various things in life.
