The development of the implementation of discovery learning and the influence to the student’s conjecturing ability to solve local irregularity vertex coloring in graphs

Abstract

Abstract This research aims to explain about development of the implementation of discovery learning and the influence of student’s conjecturing ability to solve local irregularity vertex coloring in graphs. Discovery learning is one of the learning model that can be used to improve the ability of students to conjecture in solving mathematical problems. For processing of data their conjecturing ability using a triangulation methods, namely a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Students majoring in Mathematics Education at Jember University are research subjects. Subjects of this research using experimental class and control class. Different treatments are offered to both class. This research results findings indicate that there is a major gap between both class implementing discovery learning and teacher centered learning.
