Effect of Granting Reward on Learning Outcomes of Mathematics in Class iv of Public Primary School 014680 of Buntu Pane

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of granting rewards on learning outcomes of mathematics of the fourth-grade students of Public Primary School 014680 of Buntu Pane. This research is a quantitative research using correlational method. Through correlation will be determined the influence between two variables namely granting reward and learning outcomes of mathematics, although there are also qualitative data as supporting data. The population in this study is all fourth graders. In this study total sampling is used to take samples representing a population number that is considered small or less than 100, and therefore for this study the sample is consist of 50 students. Data analysis of the results obtained in this study is to use product moment correlation formula, and it is concluded that there is a significant influence of granting rewards on the learning outcomes of mathematics of students. This can be seen from the calculation of the correlation of the value of r-counted > r-table (0.493 > 0.284). Furthermore hypotheses were tested using t test. The results of the calculations show that t-counted = 4.54 while t-table = 2.011 with df = n-2 at the significance level ? = 0.05 (5%), thus the hypothesis that "there is influence of granting reward on learning outcomes of Mathematics of students "is proven true by the significance of t-counted> t-table (4.54> 2.011).
