MATHEMATICAL CONNECTION ABILITY AND SELF-CONFIDENCE (An experiment on Junior High School students through Contextual Teaching and learning with Mathematical Manipulative)
This sudy was intended to examine the role of prior mathematics ability (PMA) and contextual teaching approach with mathematical manipulative (CTL-MM) to the achievement of mathematical connection ability (MCA) and self-confidence (SC) of junior high school students. This study was part of a master...

This study was part of a master thesis, and it was a sub-study of a Postgraduate Research Grant from DGHE in 2013 as well. The study was quasi-experimental with pre-test post-test control group design, involving 67 ninth-grade students from a junior high school in Bandung.
