Abstract


Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh variabel sosial demografi, yaitu gender dan latar belakang jurusan sewaktu di sekolah menengah terhadap kecemasan matematis. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika Unika Santu Paulus Ruteng. Sampel penelitian dipilih secara acak dari tingkat I sampai III berjumlah 62 orang. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini adalah angket kecemasan matematis yang valid dan reliabel. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan statistik deskriptif, uji-t sampel bebas, dan regresi ganda untuk mengidentifikasi seberapa besar gender dan latar belakang jurusan mempengaruhi kecemasan mahasiswa terhadap kecemasan matematis. Analisis regresi dengan metode kuadrat terkecil digunakan dengan variabel terikat kecemasan matematis mahasiswa. Hasil uji asumsi klasik menunjukkan bahwa data penelitian berdistribusi normal dan tidak ada multikolinearitas antara variabel bebas gender dan jurusan. Koefisien regresi menunjukkan bahwa nilai koefisien variabel gender 1,447 dan variabel jurusan -0,191. Hasil uji statistik t dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95% menunjukkan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000. Hal ini berarti terima H0 atau tidak ada pengaruh yang signifikan antara gender dan jurusan terhadap kecemasan matematis mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika Unika Santu Paulus Ruteng. Mahasiswa laki-laki tidak lebih baik dari perempuan dalam hal menggelolah kecemasan matematisnya, begitu pula sebaliknya. Perbedaan jurusan, baik itu jurusan IPA, IPS, maupun BAHASA tidak secara signifikan menyebabkan kecemasan matematis mahasiswa.

Kata kunci: Gender; kecemasan matematis; latar belakang jurusan

 

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of socio-demographic variables, namely gender and department background while in high school, on mathematical anxiety. The population in this study were students of the Mathematics Education Study Program of Unika Santu Paulus Ruteng. The research sample was randomly selected from level I to III, totaling 62 people. The instrument in this study is a mathematical anxiety questionnaire that has proven its validity and reliability. The method used is quantitative with descriptive statistics, free sample t-test, and multiple regression to identify how much gender and major background in high school affect student anxiety about mathematics learning. Regression analysis with the least-squares method was used with the dependent variable student mathematical anxiety. The classical assumption test results show that the research data is normally distributed, and there is no multicollinearity between gender independent variables and majors. The regression coefficient shows that the coefficient value of the gender variable is 1.447 and the major variable is -0.191. The result of the t-test with a confidence level of 95% shows a significance value of 0.000. This means that accept H0 or, in other words, there is no significant influence between gender and department on students' mathematical anxiety of the Mathematics Education Study Program of Unika Santu Paulus Ruteng. Male students are no better than girls in terms of cultivating their mathematical anxiety and vice versa. The difference in majors, both science, social studies, and language majors, did not significantly cause students' mathematical anxiety.
