Abstract

This aims of this study were to determine: (1) the differences in learning outcome of mathematic between Jarimatika Method and Abacus method, (2) the differences in learning outcome of mathematic between students with learning style of visual and audio, (3) the interaction between counting method and learning style to the learning outcome. This type research was quasi-experimental with research subject as many as 60 students were determined by random sampling assignment. The data collection technique used essay test. The obtained data were analyzed by two-way Anova. The results of this study revealed that: there were significant differences in learning outcome of mathematic between Jarimatika Method and Abacus Method (sig p = 0.000 < &#945; = 0.05), (2) there were significant differences in learning outcome of mathematic between students with visual and audio (sig p = 0.000 < &#945; = 0.05), and (3) there was interaction between counting method and learning style to learning outcome of mathematic (sig p = 0.000 < &#945; = 0.05).
