Mathematical Communication and Critical Thinking Skills Through the Implementation of the Quizzizz Application

Abstract

Background of study: Students playing with smartphones during class is a consequence of the increasing use of gadgets. This habit causes students to lose focus during the learning process. Consequently, students' communication and critical mathematical thinking skills decline.

Aims and scope of paper: Learning innovation is needed to support the development of students' mathematical communication and critical thinking skills. In the process, students are facilitated and encouraged to be more enthusiastic about learning through Quizizz. The purpose of this research is to determineThe influence of the Quizizz application on students' mathematical communication and critical thinking skills.

Methods: This type of research isquasi-experimental designThe population was all eighth-grade students at MTs Muhammadiyah Sukarame Bandar Lampung. The sample selection used a simple random sampling technique. Data collection techniques used a communication ability test and mathematical critical thinking. The data analysis technique used in this study was the Multivariate Analysis of Variance test with a significance level of 5%.

Result: The results of this study obtained a value of 0.000, which indicates that there is an influence of Quizizz on mathematical communication and critical thinking skills.

Conclusion: Quizizz has a positive impact on mathematical communication and critical thinking skills.
