Mathematical Communication And Its Relation In Statistics

This study aims to describe mathematical communication ability in undergraduate students of Civics Major who take basic statistics course in study year 2016/2017 at Universitas Negeri Medan. The design of this experiment study was using pre-test and post-test control group design. In this study, the experimental group received Knisley Model and the control group received Conventional Learning. The data then collected by using test of mathematical communication ability. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that there is a difference of average improvement of mathematical communication ability between students in both groups. Thus the Knisley Model can be an alternative learning model to implement in undergraduate students.
