Abstract

This study aims to analyse the improvement of mathematical connection ability and the habits of students’ mind who are taught by using the Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) model and Discovery Learning (DL) model. This type of research belongs to quasi experiment using quantitative and qualitative data analysis. Quantitative data were obtained from the pretest and posttest of mathematical connection ability in derivative material and questionnaire scale of the habits of mind analysed by SPSS 20 for Windows software. While the qualitative data were obtained from the results of observations and interviews. The sample were 70 students who divided into two experimental classes. Based on the t-test results from the average N-gain score indicates that there is a difference in the increase of mathematical connection ability of students with the improvement of mathematical connection in MMP class that is better than DL class. Meanwhile, based on mann whitney-u test result from mean of posttest of questionnaire indicate that there is no difference of achievement of students’ habits of mind in both experiment class. That is, the achievement of habits of mind in the MMP class and the DL class is relatively the same.
