Abstract
Mathematical connection ability has important role in the success of students mathematics course. In fact, the mathematical connection ability of senior high school students is not quite good, thus a learning models is needed to improve mathematical connection ability. The purposes of the research are; (1) find out if Learning Cycle 7e Model could improving students mathematical connection ability; (2) determine whether the improvement of mathematical connection ability of student who obtain Learning Cycle 7e Model compare than student who obtain the conventional learning; (3) and find out how students attitude toward Learning Cycle 7e Model. The method applied in this research was a quasi-experimental design by using non-equivalent control group design. Result for this research are quantitative data and qualitative data. Quantitative data obtained from mathematical connection ability of student before and after the implementation of learning while qualitative data obtained from analysis of data from student questionnaires and observation sheets. The result of this research are: (1) Learning Cycle 7e Model could increasing mathematical connection ability, (2) increased mathematical connection ability student who obtain Learning Cycle 7e better than student who obtain the conventional learning, (3) and most students give positive attitude toward Learning Cycle 7e
Keywords: Learning Cycle 7e Model, Mathematical Connection Ability
