Abstract
The selection of the right learning model can improve student achievement. This study aims to determine the effect of using Quantum Teaching learning models on students comprehension abilities. The research sample was 7th-semester students who took elementary mathematics learning courses in the Tangerang district study group randomly selected as many as two classes, the first class as the experimental class, namely the class with the Quantum Teaching learning model and the second class as the Control class, namely the classroom with conventional learning. The instruments used were 1) pretest-posttest, and 2) observation sheet. Data is processed with SPSS. The result is a class with a Quantum Teaching learning model that shows better understanding skills than the control class, sig-value (2-tailed) (0.016) <α=(0.025), ie there is a difference in comprehension ability between classes with Quantum Teaching learning models with ordinary learning classes , from the table of statistical groups it is known that the mean value of the class with the Quantum Teaching learning model (85.0) is greater than the average class average (62.0), and the average N-gain class value with the Quantum Teaching learning model has a high increase (0.81), while the ordinary N-gain class has a moderate increase (0.5), so the Quantum Teaching learning model can improve students comprehension abilities, and students appear to be more confident because in this learning model there are many interactions that maximize the learning process.
