THE INFLUENCE OF STUDENTS ASSESSMENT OF MACROMEDIA FLASH AND CLINOMETERS THROUGH STAD TOWARDS PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY ON TRIGONOMETRY RATIO AND FUNCTION IN GRADE X AT SMAN 1 PLUS MATAULI PANDAN ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2012/2013

Research purpose is to find out (1) the relationship between macromedia flash and problem solving ability, (2) the relationship between clinometers andproblem solving ability, and (3) the relationship between macromedia flash and clinometers towards problem solving ability. Research type is used Independent and Dependent Variables ofCorrelational Design. Macromedia flash and clinometers are independentvariables. Otherwise, problem solving ability is dependent variable. There are two methods of measurement they are test (essay test) and non test (questionnaire). Essay test is used to get the data of problem solving ability. Questionnaire is used to get the data of macromedia flash and clinometers.The research was conducted at SMAN 1 Plus Matauli Pandan. Researchpopulation is students in grade X that consisted of 278 persons. Slovins formula is used to determine the sample size of research. Sample size of research is 73 persons. The test computation of first hypothesis: t (1.783) > ttable (1.667), it concludethat there is a significant positive influence between macromedia flash andproblem solving ability. The test computation of second hypothesis: t (2.075) > ttable (1.667), it conclude that there is a significant positive influence between clinometers and problem solving ability. The test computation of third hypothesis:F (2.537) > Ftable (2.38), it can conclude that there is a significant positive influence between macromedia flash and clinometers towards problem solving ability. Macromedia flash can make influence towards problem solving ability as 4.3%, otherwise clinometers can make influence towards problem solving ability as 5.7%. Macromedia flash and clinometers can make influence towards problem solving ability together as 6.8%. There are another factors than can make influence towards problem solving ability which is not included in the research.
