Implementation of Humanistic Approach in Mathematics Learning Process and its Impact on Learning Motivation in Elementary School
Keywords:
Humanistic approach, Math learning, Learning motivationAbstract
Mathematics learning is a mental activity to understand the meaning in relationships and symbols and then applied to real situations. Conventional methods have proven to be less effective in improving student understanding, so a humanistic approach to math learning is needed. This study aims to analyze the humanistic approach implemented in mathematics learning and its impact on student learning motivation in elementary schools. There are similar concepts between mathematics learning and the humanistic approach, both emphasizing the importance of respecting each individual in relationships and symbols that will be applied in real life. This research uses a descriptive research design through a case study approach. The researcher aims to increase motivation, interest and learning outcomes that arise when applying a humanistic approach in mathematics learning. Observations were made related to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the learning process, data collection techniques include various methods such as observation, interviews, and performance. The research subjects consisted of 20 grade 6 students of SDN Batujajar 1, consisting of 10 male students and 10 female students in the 2024/2025 school year. The research findings show that the application of the humanistic approach in learning mathematics has a positive impact on student motivation, interest and learning outcomes.The abstract should be clear, concise, and descriptive.
