The Effect of Application of Gender-Based Class Separation on Motivation and Learning Outcomes in Mathematics Class VI Students at SDIT Al-Hanif Cilegon

Abstract

SDIT Al-Hanif Cilegon is an Islamic-based school that applies class separation based on gender. Class separation is done to create a focus and limit association between men and women. However, the application of class separation also has weaknesses, where students can feel free and do not understand the material being taught. The background in this research is that it starts from the problems that occur from the mixing of classes between men and women. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of applying gender-based class segregation to motivation and learning outcomes in mathematics for sixth grade students at SDIT Al-Hanif Cilegon. The type of research used in this study is a type of correlational research with a quantitative approach. Data collection techniques in this study used test instruments, class separation questionnaires based on gender, and learning motivation questionnaires. The data analysis technique used in this study is the Prerequisite Test (Normality Test and Linearity Test), Simple Linear Regression Test, and Hypothesis Test. The results of the research based on data analysis can be concluded that: 1) there is a positive and significant effect of applying class separation based on gender on students' motivation to learn mathematics with a sig value of 0.000 <0.05; 2) there is no significant effect of applying class separation based on gender on students' mathematics learning outcomes as indicated by the acquisition of a sig score of 0.852 > 0.05.
