The Direct Learning Model in Mathematics: Investigating the Effect of Students Perception on Learning Outcomes

Direct learning, in general, is specifically designed to develop students? learning activities related to procedural and declarative of knowledge aspects that can be in the forms of well-structured facts, concepts, principles, or generalization. This study was an ex-post facto aimed at analyzing the students' perceptions about the direct learning model that influenced their outcomes in learning mathematics. The location was at High School Bajo, Luwu Regency. The participants were 72 students from three regular classes. The result showed that the students' perceptions about the direct learning model influenced their outcomes in learning mathematics with Coefficient of Determination of 89.7%. The direct learning model is one of teaching approaches designed specifically to support student's learning process related to declarative and procedural knowledge that is well structured that can teach with regular pattern activity.
