Abstract

This "Constructivism as a Model in Teaching Research with Statistics" study aims to provide a model for the teaching of research writing and provide a better foundation in data analysis. . This research is based on constructivist learning theory – learning, constructing and translating one's own knowledge. A single-group semi-experimental design was used in this study; analysis of the research papers of 120 students assigned to written research and progress-based research statistics is provided in the module. Comparing research writing skills from the pre-test and post-test, students showed significant improvement from mostly “very poor” to “poor” to mostly “good” or medium. average after the test. The gain is significant at 0.01 when using Wilcoxon's signed rank test. Furthermore, the paper of the study is divided into three parts, Introduction, Related Materials and Methodology. Areas where students need a lot of help are writing research instrument validity, research instrument reliability, and data analysis.
