- Abstract
This study primarily aims to determine how reciprocal teaching affects students’ ability to communicate and solve mathematical problems. This is an experimental study in which both experimental group and control group were administered a pre-test and post-test. The control group was taught conventionally while the experimental group received reciprocal teaching and learning. The population was all eighth-grade students at a Junior High School in Pidie Jaya Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Two classes of the students were randomly chosen as the samples. Instrument includes tests for students’ mathematical communication and problem-solving abilities. The findings revealed that students who got reciprocal teaching and learning had statistically greater communication skills than those who received conventional learning. Students taught reciprocal teaching learning improved their mathematics communication skills statistically more than those who received the traditional one. Similarly, students who got reciprocal teaching and learning have superior mathematical problem-solving skills compared to those in the other group. These findings indicate that mathematical communication and problem-solving abilities taught simultaneously have a strong correlation.
