摘要:This study is a quasi-experimental research with pretest-posttest control group design, which aims to determine
(1) the tendency of students in using various media scaffolding based on gender, and (2) effect of media
scaffolding on increasing understanding of students’ geometry concepts. Media scaffolding used this study is
chart, props, and visual. The population was the fifth grade students of State Elementary School I Gunung
Terang (total 40 students), Bandar Lampung, Indonesia of the academic year 2015-2016. The sample was total
sampling, respectively 20 students in the experimental class (with media scaffolding) and control class (without
media scaffolding). Data were collected through observation, interview and test. Analysis of the observation and
interviews data with descriptive statistics (percentage). and the test data was analyzed by (a) measuring the level
of effectiveness on increasing understanding of students’ geometry concepts with formula of Hake’s Normalized
Gain (g) and its interpretation, and (b) examine of hypotesis on level of effectiveness with t-test. The results of
research showed that (1) the tendency of male students using the media scaffolding props, and female students
using scaffolding media chart, and (2) effect of media scaffolding on increasing understanding of students’
geometry concepts is effective enough.
