Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe the effectiveness of Teaching With Analogy (TWA) model to increase students’ mathematical representation. Teaching With Analogy is a learning model that provides guidelines to build linkages between something is already known and something new to learn or learn abstract concept through other concept that have learned before or daily life context. The analogy in this research consists of two ideas, analogy to the daily life and analogy to others concept. The concept of derivative function is a subject matter was using in this research, because most of students did not understand the meaning of formula . We began the lesson with the analogy to daily life situation “speed of vehicle” to find the definition of first derivative. Then to explain second derivative we use analogy to concept first derivative. Mathematical representation is define as students’ ability to express their ideas on mathematics as visual representation, images/graph, or create a mathematical model. This research was conducted at one of senior high school at Depok city for academic year 2016/2017. The method is quasi-experiment with Randomized Posttest Only Control Group Design. There are two classes are used, one class as the experimental which is students learns mathematics by TWA and the others as control class which is students learn mathematics without analogy. Data was collected using test of mathematical representation. The results show that students’ mathematical representation who teach by model TWA is higher than students’ mathematical representation who teach without analogy.
