THE INFLUENCE OF LEARNING MODEL, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, AND ITS INTERACTIONS ON RESPONSE AND MATHEMATICS LEARNING OUTCOMES OF GRAD VIII STUDENTS AT SMPN 3 IN MAKASSAR
Abstract
The study aims at examining (i) the influence of learning model (discovery learning and cooperative learning of NHT type) on response and Mathematics learning outcomes of grade VIII students at SMPN 3 in Makassar, (ii) the influence of emotional intelligence on response and Mathematics learning outcomes of grade VIII students at SMPN 3 in Makassar, (iii) the influence of interactions between emotional intelligence and learning model (discovery learning and cooperative learning of NHT type) applied to grade VIII students at SMPN 3 in Makassar. The population of the study was grade VIII students at SMPN 3 in Makassar of academic year 2015/2016 which consisted of 9 homogenous classes with the total of 351 students. Two out of nine classes were chosen as the experiment units as experiment class 1 and experiment class 2 taken by employing simple random sampling technique and obtained class VIII7 as the experiment class 1 and class VIII9 as the experiment class 2. Class VIII7 as the experiment class I applied discovery learning and class VIII9 as the experiment class 2 applied cooperative learning model of NHT type. The type of the study was quasi experiment which characterized by the treatment on the objects to be studied. Data were collected by employing observation sheet, questionnaire, test, and documentation study. Data were then analyzed by using MANOVA with IBM SPSS Amos version 20. The results of the study reveal that (i) there is influence of learning model (discovery learning and cooperative learning of NHT type) on the response and Mathematics learning outcomes of grade VIII students at SMPN 3 in Makassar, in this case the response and Mathematics learning outcomes of students who were taught by using discovery learning is higher than the ones taught by using cooperative learning model of NHT type, (ii) there is influence of emotional intelligence (high and low) on students' response and Mathematics learning outcomes of grade VIII students at SMPN 3 in Makassar, in this case the response and Mathematics learning outcomes of students who have high emotional intelligence is higher than the students who have low emotional intelligence, and (iii) there is influence of interactions between learning model and emotional intelligence on students’ response and Mathematics learning outcomes of grade VIII students at SMPN 3 in Makassar.
