Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the ability of students mathematical This research aimed to obtain an overview of the effect of Missouri mathematics project learning and students self-regulated learning on the improvement of students mathematical connection skills. This study used a quasi-experimental method. The subjects of this study were 60 grade VII students of high junior high school 4 Lembang. The samples were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The data collection methods were descriptive tests and a scale of self-regulated learning. The results showed that the increase in the connection ability of students who received Missouri mathematics project learning was significantly higher than that of conventional students. Highly self-regulated students will find it easier to solve mathematical connection problems, while students who are low self-regulated are only able to write what is known from the questions and there are still many errors in doing the questions. Based on the results of this study, Missouri mathematics project learning can have a higher and positive effect in developing students mathematical connections so that it can provide opportunities for further research on other abilities.
