Abstract:

This research aims at determining the effectiveness of interactions between learning video based-Javanese culture and learning style towards junior high school students’ mathematical communication skills. The research sample was determined by cluster random sampling of class VII students of SMP Negeri 29 Semarang. Data were analyzed using a two way analysis of variance (Anova) and continued with the Scheffe test. Based on the research, the results obtained were: (1) there is the effect of learning video-based Javanese culture and learning style towards junior high school students' mathematical communication skills (F = 14,921; significance level 0.05), (2) there is the difference between junior high school students' mathematical communication skills who learned through learning video-based Javanese culture and conventional media (F = 8,828; significance level 0.05), and (3) there is the difference in junior high school students' mathematical communication skills which is reviewed from student learning styles (F = 6.692; significance level 0.05). The conclusion of the research results indicates that learning video-based Javanese culture and learning styles are more effective and show a significant effect on junior high school students' mathematical communication skills.
