Abstract

Effective learning is valued as putting together the established learning goal, assessment, and a well- defined learning outcome. However, the fact, in learning Math for example, shows that students come to the class only to fulfill the requirement of the school presence. They do not focus on mathematical procedures and not integrate the topics of math and the representation of mathematical concept. This will bring about the constraint of achieving the goal of learning Math. There are both internal and external factors that need to be taken into account. The internal factor such as students’ background knowledge is affected by either cognitive or communicative factors. Thus, effective communication consisting of semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic can be big constraints towards achieving learning goal. Accordingly, this research is intended to reveal the correlation among semantic, syntactic, pragmatic, and cognitive barriers towards the accuracy of geometry proofs of Math students. This research was conducted quantitatively through a correlation study. The population involved was students of Math Department, IAIN Tulungagung Indonesia, who have learnt Euclid Geometry. The research proved that there is a correlation and negative effect of semantic, syntactic, pragmatic, and cognitive barriers towards the accuracy of Geometry proof. Since it needs various competences, it is pedagogically implemented that tutors of Math should consider the possibility of various barriers which inhibit the students’ learning success in Math. Further studies on efforts of minimizing language barriers in Geometry proof accuracy for Math students is suggested to be carried out.
