This study aims to determine the application of the Problem Based Learning learning model to mathematical communication skills in terms of independent learning on set material in class VII SMP Negeri 01 Tayan Hulu. The research form used is quasi-experimental designs, with a 2×3 factorial design. The population in this study were students of class VII A and students of class VII B. The sample in this study was one class selected by cluster random sampling. Data collection techniques used are direct communication techniques and measurement techniques with data collection tools in the form of questionnaires and test questions in the form of essays. The data analysis technique used was the analysis of two dissimilar cell paths with the normality test using the Lilifors test, homogeneity using the Bartlett test and continued with the multiple comparison test using the Scheffe method. The results of this study are (1) the mathematical communication of students who follow the problem-based learning model is better than students who follow the conventional learning model, (2) the ability of mathematical communication between students who have high learning independence is better than moderate after the implementation of the model learning problem based learning. (3) students' mathematical communication skills in the moderate learning independence category were better than students in the low learning independence category after applying the problem-based learning model. (4) at the level of independent learning, problem-based learning models provide better mathematical communication skills than conventional learning models.

Setiap anak memiliki keunikannya sendiri – sendiri yang tidak bisa disamakan satu dengan lainnya, termasuk dalam hal kecerdasan dan gaya belajar. Perbedaan gaya belajar tentunya akan berpengaruh pada penerapan model pendampingan dan metode belajar yang sesuai dengan karakter siswa. Para pengurus panti asuhan Budi Mulya Banyuwangi merasa kesulitan pada saat melakukan pendampingan belajar pada anak – anak panti karena terbatasnya skill tingkat kemampuan dan pemahaman anak berbeda – beda. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan sosialisasi dan pengenalan jenis kecerdasan dan gaya belajar anak – anak agar para pengurus/pembina panti dapat mengetahui gaya belajar yang dapat dijadikan bahan pertimbangan dan referensi dalam menentukan metode dan merancang model pendampingan belajar yang sesuai dengan karakter anak. Mitra kegiatan pengabdian adalah anak panti sejumlah 20 siswa dan pengurus panti. Metode yang digunakan yaitu ceramah, tanya jawab, diskusi, dan pendampingan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan para peserta dapat mengidentifikasi gaya apakah visual, auditori, maupun kinestetik yang bisa dijadikan sebagai dasar para pengurus panti dalam mendampingi belajar anak – anak panti.    

The purpose of this study is to describe the results of the analysis of improving students' mathematical communication skills with Realistic Mathematics Education approach. The type of this research is descriptive qualitative research using the library research method. The subject of this research is the most published articles in published journals about mathematical communication skills through Realistic Mathematics Education approach to junior high school students. Based on the findings from 5 journals, it was found that students' mathematical communication improved better in students who studied with Realistic Mathematics Education approach compared to students who studied with conventional learning. Realistic Mathematics Education approach can improve students' ability to describe, understand, and represent mathematical ideas contained in pictures, tables or diagrams. So, Realistic Mathematics Education approach is one approach that can improve students' mathematical communication skills at the junior high school level with effect size score of 1,158 in the large effect category.

This study aims to determine whether there is a positive and significant effect of the Group Investigation type cooperative learning model on students' mathematical reasoning and communication skills in the Pythagorean Theorem sub-subject in class VIII SMP Negeri 1 Munte in the 2019/2020 Academic Year. The population in this study were all class VIII students of SMP Negeri 1Munte for the 2019/2020 Academic Year. While the sample in this study consisted of 2 classes of 38 students each in class VIII-1 as the experimental class and class VIII-3 as the control class. The experimental class uses the Group Investigation cooperative learning model consisting of 5 students per group, and the control class uses the Group Investigation type cooperative learning model consisting of 2 students per group. This type of research is an experiment. Prior to testing the hypothesis, the normality and homogeneity tests are tested first. Normality was tested using the Lilliefors technique and homogeneity using the F test. From the tests performed, it was found that both samples were normally distributed and homogeneous. There is a positive and significant influence of the Group Investigation cooperative learning model on the mathematical reasoning abilities of junior high school students. There is a positive and significant influence of the Group Investigation type of cooperative learning model on the mathematical communication skills of junior high school students because the average communication ability of students who are taught with the Group Investigation type cooperative learning model consisting of 5 people per group is higher than the average communication ability of students who are taught with the Group Investigation type cooperative learning model consisting of 2 people per group

Critical thinking is a process of solving problems based on good judgment and experiences that are by facts. A thought process of solving problems in learning is said to be achieved and can improve critical thinking skills in solving problems during the learning process if the implementation is student-centered. To improve critical thinking skills, improve the quality of education, and produce quality learning outcomes, the government made a breakthrough by holding the School Literacy Movement (GLS) program. Namely a mass movement to foster a love of literacy to meet the need for information and reading for this nation's generation. Literacy is the ability of individuals to read, write, speak, calculate and solve problems at the level of expertise required in work, family, and society. Good literacy and followed up by giving assignments or recitations, can hone skills to make students able to think critically, creatively, innovatively and develop student character.
