DIFFERENCES OF MATHEMATICAL REASONING ABILITY AND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE STUDENTS BETWEEN PROBLEM BASED LEARNING AND INQUIRY LEARNING AT SMP SWASTA PELITA MEDAN

This study aims to determine (1) Differences in the ability of mathematical reasoning students between problem-based learning with inquiry learning, (2) Differences in emotional intelligence students between problem-based learning with inquiry learning, (3) Interaction between models of learning and students' early mathematical abilities of mathematical reasoning ability, and (4) Interaction between learning models and students' early math ability toward emotional intelligence. This research is semi experimental research. The population of this study is the seventh grade students of SMP Swasta Pelita Medan. And the sample of this research is class VII-1 and VII-2. Data analysis was performed by two way analysis of the ANOVA. The results showed that (1) There was a difference in mathematical reasoning ability between students that were given problem based learning with inquiry learning. It can be seen from ANAVA result from Fcount = 11.774 bigger
than Ftabel = 3.980. (2) There is no a difference in emotional intelligence between students that are given
problem-based learning with inquiry learning. It can be seen from ANAVA result from Fcount = 39.402 bigger than Ftabel = 3,980. (3) There is no an interaction between the learning model and the student's early mathematical ability to the mathematical reasoning ability. (4). There is an interaction between the learning model and the student's early mathematical ability to emotional intelligence.
