Abstract 

Analytical thinking and mathematical communication are abilities 

included in the learning process objectives. This study aims to 

describe students' analytical thinking skills and mathematical 

communication using the online group investigation cooperative 

learning model. The subjects of this research were 30 students of 

class VIII-C. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. 

The data to determine the implementation of learning and the 

ability to think analytically and communicate mathematically are 

observations, documentation, and tests. The study results show 

that the online group investigation type cooperative learning 

model implementation takes place following the steps of group 

investigation learning. The results of the ability to think 

analytically and communicate mathematically meet all indicators. 

The distinguishing indicator of analytical thinking ability is the 

most widely achieved, and the one that has yet to be completed 

much is the attributing indicator. So that students' analytical 

thinking skills have an analytical category. The most widely 

conducted indicator of mathematical communication ability is the 

indicator of expressing mathematical ideas in writing. What has 

yet to be widely achieved is the indicator of analyzing and 

evaluating mathematical concepts. So that students' mathematical 

communication skills have a mathematical category.

INTRODUCTION 

The development of technology has changed the pattern of people's lives by 

following its development and knowing how to use it to make life easier. 

Technological developments encourage potential in various fields, one of which is 

education (Hussin, 2018). Technology for the world of education is a tool that can 

be used as a medium in the learning process. No longer limited to a classroom, the 

use of technology has made it possible for distance learning to create teaching 

methods inside and outside the classroom (Almeida & Simoes, 2019). There are 

two ways to do the learning process: offline and online. Online learning is an 

educational innovation that involves elements of information technology in 

learning (Fitriyani et al., 2020).  

Meanwhile, Kurniawan et al., (2020) said that online learning is the result of 

learning delivered electronically using computers and computer-based media as 

stated (Solikhin & Fauziah, 2021) that in online learning, applications such as 

WhatsApp, Google Classroom, and Zoom can be used to interact between teachers

and students when carrying out the online learning process. Anggraini (2018) said 

that e-learning, or online learning, is created to overcome the limitations between 

educators and students, especially in terms of space and time. This facilitates 

interaction between students and educators by ignoring these limitations. Apart 

from that, Winarti & Norhayan (2021) said that online learning is also the impact 

of the pandemic. Even though learning is done online, learning must still pay 

attention to achieving the learning objectives. 

Analytical thinking and mathematical communication are abilities included 

in the learning process objectives. The ability to think analytically and 

communicate mathematically is essential for students to have and master learning 

mathematics  (Sriwahyuni et al., 2018). Analytical thinking is a student's ability to 

structure information into related pieces of information and determine the 

relationships between parts (Anggraini, 2018). The ability to think analytically is 

related to distinguishing, organizing, and attributing (Aprilia & Ramlah, 2020). The 

ability to think analytically can develop the ability to solve problems, analyze data, 

and use information well (Annisa et al., 2016). In addition, according to Ilma et al., 

(2017) the ability to think analytically in solving problems is also influenced by 

learning styles. Not only thinking analytically in general, but communication is also 

a way to convey messages from the giver to the recipient to inform opinions or 

behavior, either in writing or orally (Wijayanto et al., 2018). According to Khadijah 

et al., (2018) communication is a relationship or exchange of opinions. 

Mathematical communication also means conveying, understanding, and accepting 

other people's mathematical ideas carefully, critically, analytically, and 

evaluatively to strengthen understanding (Babys, 2020). Mathematical 

communication skills are related to expressing mathematical ideas in writing, 

analyzing mathematical ideas in writing, and expressing mathematical situations 

into mathematical models (Maulyda, 2020).  

Group investigation is cooperative learning that emphasizes students to be 

more active in learning activities (Hartoto, 2016). Meanwhile, according to Nisa et 

al., (2018) group investigation is a learning model that allows students to be directly 

and actively involved in the learning process from the beginning to the end of the 

learning activity. Meanwhile, according to previous research, the group 

investigation learning model has advantages for students: being independent and 

cooperative and fostering students' analytical thinking skills and mathematical 

communication (Perwitasari et al., 2016). The group investigation learning model 

has objectives, including so that students can think analytically and communicate 

in learning activities. Cooperative learning with the group investigation type trains 

students to think at a higher level, think independently, and involve students in the 

learning process of investigating the problems given by the teacher (Linuhung & 

Sudarman, 2016). However, because of online learning, how are students' analytical 

thinking skills and mathematical communication using the group investigation 

learning model? Based on this, it is necessary to have an analysis to describe 

students' analytical thinking skills and mathematical communication using the 

online group investigation type cooperative learning model in class VIII students 

with statistics material. This is because analytical thinking and mathematical 

communication are essential abilities. After all, they are one of the fundamental 

abilities. Because of the explanation above, this study aims to describe students'

analytical thinking and mathematical communication skills using Group 

Investigation (GI) cooperative learning online. 

 

RESEARCH METHOD 

This research uses descriptive qualitative research. This research uses 

descriptive qualitative aiming to describe students' analytical thinking and 

mathematical communication skills using the group investigation type cooperative 

learning model online based on the actual conditions during the study. This research 

was conducted at NU Pakis Middle School, Pakis District, Malang Regency, in the 

even semester of the 2021/2022 academic year. The subjects of this study were 30 

students in class VIII-C. Research subjects as the primary source to obtain the data 

studied. The material used for collecting qualitative data is class VIII statistical 

material. Qualitative test results were obtained from qualitative data analysis and 

observations of the online learning process. 

Data collection techniques used in this study were tests, observations, and 

documentation. The data collection used is to obtain the correct data according to 

research needs. The observation sheet was used in the first data collection to 

implement the group investigation learning model online. The second data 

collection in the form of a test sheet is used to determine the ability to think 

analytically and communicate mathematically in writing. The third data collection 

is in the form of documentation used as evidence, where evidence is in the form of 

pictures during online learning activities. Through documents, researchers can 

measure the ability to think analytically and communicate mathematically in 

writing that is done. The data analysis stage that will be carried out consists of three 

components, namely, 1) data reduction, 2) data presentation, and 3) conclusion. The 

score or value of the assessment of the ability to think analytically and communicate 

mathematically is analyzed using a percentage technique. In addition, teacher and 

student activities were also analyzed using percentage techniques.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 

1. Description of Learning Activities 
In the learning activities of this research, it was found that the online group 

investigation cooperative learning model was implemented following the steps 

of group investigation learning. From the first to the fourth meeting, students 

are gathered in the WhatsApp group class; then, students are divided into groups 

of 4-5. Students are given worksheets, and educators carry out the learning 

process by giving instructions to the WhatsApp group. Students plan to learn 

assignments, carry out investigations, prepare reports on the results of 

investigations, and present reports on the results by presenting them via audio 

and evaluation. 

In the learning process, 20 aspects are observed by the teacher after applying 

the group investigation cooperative learning model online. Based on student 

activities during learning, the results of observations of student activity obtained 

a score of 64%, which means that, generally, the activities of class VIII-C 

students of SMP NU Pakis fall into the excellent category. In addition, during 

the learning process, not only student activity is observed. In the 

implementation of learning, observations were made with 20 aspects observed 

by the homeroom teacher through the WhatsApp class group. Based on teacher 

activity during learning, the results of observations of teacher activity on the 

learning process obtained a score of 96.25% in the perfect category. Applying 

group investigation-type cooperative learning is intended so that students can 

practice analytical thinking skills and mathematical communication through 

this learning. 

 

2. Description of Analytical Thinking Ability 
The percentage of achievement that will be sought is the ability to think 

analytically with the data obtained from the knowledge test containing four 

questions. Based on the analysis of data from 30 students with 26 students who 

worked on statistical material test questions, that students' analytical thinking 

abilities are presented in Table 7.

Based on Table 8, there are three categories, namely high, medium, and low 

ability. The following results of student work are described: 

1) Students with High Ability 
A03 is the code for students with high analytical thinking skills. The 

following are the results of student A03's answers with high ability in solving 

the questions presented in the image below. 

 

 
Figure 1. Student Work Results A03 

Based on the test results in Figure 1, it is the result of students' analytical 

thinking based on indicators of analytical thinking (Fitriani et al., 2021). Student 

A03 can differentiating by sorting out the parts related to writing down what is 

known and what is asked in the problem. Student A03 wrote down what was 

known in the question, namely the values of the 30 students who took the test, 

20 students with a score of 80, 8 students with a score of 90, and 2 students with 

a score of 100. Then students also wrote down what was asked in the question, 

namely, the average value class average. This proves that student A03 fulfills 

the distinguishing indicator by writing down what is known and what is asked 

in the questions, according to Figure 1. 

Student A03 can organizing and identify related parts by identifying 

something known through completion. Student A03 identifies something that is 

known by writing down the solution, namely Mean =
(20Γ—80)+(8Γ—90)+(2Γ—100)

30
=

1600+720+200

=

2520

30
= 84. This proves that student A03 fulfills the organizing 

indicator by identifying related parts and something that is known by solving it, 

as shown in Figure 1. 

Then student A03 can be attributed to determining goals by solving these 

problems and concluding. Student A03 determines the goal by solving the 

problem and concludes by writing the conclusion from solving the problem that 

the conclusion from solving the problem asked is. That the average class score 

on the written test is 84. This proves that student A03 fulfills the attribution

indicator by writing the conclusion from solving problems that have been done, 

as shown in Figure 1. 

2) Students with Moderate Ability 
N17 is the code for a student with a moderate category of analytical thinking 

ability. The following are the results of the answers of students N17 with 

moderate abilities in solving the questions presented in the image below. 

 
Figure 2. Student Work Results from N17 

Based on the test results in Figure 2 it is the result of student N17's work. 

Student N17 can differentiating by sorting out the parts related to writing down 

what is known but not quite right and does not include what is asked in the 

problem. Student N17 writes down what is known in the problem: the number 

of students is 30, the value of 20 students = 80, the value of 8 students = 90, and 

the value of 2 students = is 100. However, student N17 needs to write down 

what is asked in the problem. This proves that student N17 can discriminate but 

still needs to correctly fulfill the indicators of distinguishing. Student N17 only 

writes down what is known but not what is asked in the questions, according to 

Figure 2. 

N17 students can organize (organizing) and identify related parts by 

identifying something known by solving it. Student N17 identifies something 

that is known by writing down the solution, namely Mean =

 
Jumlah nilai seluruh siswa

=

(20Γ—80)+(8Γ—90)+(2Γ—100)

30
=

1600+720+200

30
=

2520

30
= 84. 

This proves that student N17 fulfills the organizing indicator by identifying 

related parts by identifying something that is known by solving it, as shown in 

Figure 2. 

Then student N17 is less able to attribute by not setting goals in solving the 

problem by concluding. Student N17 did not write the conclusion of the 

problem in the problem. Answer 84 is correct but needs to be corrected because 

N17 does not conclude it and has analytical abilities in the moderate category. 

This proves that student N17 still needs to fulfill the attributing indicator by not 

setting goals in solving the problem by concluding, as shown in Figure 2. 

3) Students with Low Ability 
S27 is the code for students with low analytical thinking skills. The 

following are the results of the answers of S27 students with low ability to solve 

the questions presented in the image below..

Figure 3. Results of S27 Student Work 

Based on the test results in Figure 3 it is the result of the S27 student's 

work. S27 students cannot differentiating by sorting out the parts related to 

writing down what is known and asked. S27 students did not write down what 

was known and asked questions like in Figure 3. There was no known or 

asked information. This proves that S27 students need to meet the 

distinguishing indicators because students need to sort out the parts related to 

writing down what is known and asked in the questions. 

S27 students are also less able to organize (organizing) by not accurately 

identifying related parts or identifying something known by its solution. 

Student S27 only answered (20 Γ— 80) + (8 Γ— 90) + (2 Γ— 100) = 1600 +
720 + 200 = 2520 Γ· 30 = 84 As in Figure 3. The answer is correct but not 
quite right because S27 needed to identify between what is known and the 

material and how to solve it. This proves that S27 students do not meet the 

organizing indicators because they need to identify the parts related by 

identifying something known by its solution. 

Then S27 students are less able to attribute by not setting goals in solving 

problems and concluding. Answer 84 is correct but needs to be corrected 

because S27 does not conclude it and has low category analytical ability. So 

it was concluded that S27 students had low analytical thinking skills because 

they needed to fulfill the three indicators. 

3. Description of Mathematical Communication Ability 
The percentage of achievement that will be sought is the ability to communicate 

mathematics with data obtained from the knowledge test, which contains four 

questions. Based on the analysis of data from 30 students with 26 students who 

worked on statistical material test questions, the students' mathematical 

communication skills are presented in Table 9.

Based on Table 9, the average mathematical communication ability of class 

VIII-C students is included in the mathematical category with a percentage of 

52%. It is presented based on the results of the category of mathematical 

communication skills in the table below.

Based on the categories in Table 10, there are three categories: high, 

medium, and low abilities. The following results of student work are 

described: 

1) Students with High Ability 
D09 is a student code with a high category of mathematical 

communication skills. The following are the results of the answers of D09 

students with high ability in solving the questions presented in the image 

below. 

 

 
Figure 4. D09 Student Work Results 

Based on the test results in Figure 4 it is the result of students' work based 

on mathematical communication indicators according to (Maulyda, 2020). 

D09 students can express mathematical ideas by writing down what 

information is known and asking from a problem in the problem. Student D09 

writes down what is known in the problem. Namely, 20 students get a score 

of 80, 8 students get a score of 90, and 2 students get a score of 100 is the 

known part. Then student D09 also wrote down what was asked in the 

question, namely the average class score. This proves that D09 students fulfill 

the indicators in expressing mathematical ideas by writing down what 

information is known and asking from a problem in the problem, as shown in 

Figure 4. 

D09 students can analyze or evaluate mathematical ideas in writing in 

carrying out plans to solve problems in questions. D09 students analyze and 

evaluate mathematical ideas in carrying out plans to solve problems by 

writing down how to solve them, namely Mean =

analyzing or evaluating mathematical ideas in writing in solving problems in 

questions, as shown in Figure 4. 

Then students can express mathematical situations or problems into 

mathematical models and conclude. D09 students expressed solving 

mathematical problems into a mathematical model and concluded by writing 

them into their mathematical form, namely Mean =

= 84 and the conclusion is that 

the average class score on the written test is 84; this section is part of modeling 

a problem to a mathematical model and concluding. This proves that student 

D09 fulfills the indicators of expressing a mathematical situation into a 

mathematical model, as in Figure 4. 

2) Students with Moderate Ability 
F10 is a student code with a moderate category of mathematical 

communication skills. Following are the results of the answers of F10 

students with high ability in solving the questions presented in the image 

below. 

 

 
Figure 5. F10 Student Work Results 

Based on the test results in Figure 5 it is the result of F10 students' work. 

F10 students can express mathematical ideas by writing down what 

information is known, but it needs to be more precise by not including what 

is asked of a problem in the problem. Student F10 writes down what is known 

in the problem, namely, the number of students is 30, students who score 80 

= 20 students, students who score 90 = 8 students, and students who score 

100 = 2 students. However, F10 students needed to write down what was 

asked in the questions. This proves that F10 students can express 

mathematical ideas by writing down what information is known but does not 

meet the indicators of expressing mathematical ideas in writing precisely 

because F10 students only write down what is known but not what is asked 

in the questions, according to Figure 5. 

F10 students are also less able to analyze or evaluate mathematical ideas 

in writing in carrying out plans to solve problems in problems by needing to 

be more precise in writing plans to solve problems. Students in solving 

problems still need to be more precise in writing plans to solve problems 

where students write them with answers 20 Γ— 80 = 1600; 8 Γ— 90 = 720; 

2 Γ— 100 = 200 then next step 
1600+720+200

30
=

2520

30
= 84. This proves that 

F10 students have not fulfilled the indicators of analyzing and evaluating

mathematical ideas in writing because they need to be more precise in writing 

mathematical ideas in solving problem plans, as shown in Figure 5, even 

though these answers are correct but not quite right, because F10 has 

mathematical communication skills medium category. 

Then F10 students need to be more able to express mathematical situations 

or problems into mathematical models and draw conclusions. F10 students 

are less able to express it in a mathematical model, where students write their 

answers = 20 Γ— 80 = 1600; 8 Γ— 90 = 720; 2 Γ— 100 = 200 =
1600+720+200

30
=

2520

30
= 84 The answer is correct, but not quite right because 

F10 does not model a mathematical model problem, concludes, and F10 has 

moderate category mathematical communication skills. This proves that F10 

students still need to meet the indicators of expressing a mathematical 

situation into a mathematical model, as in Figure 5. 

3) Students with Low Ability 
R22 is a student code with low-category mathematical communication 

ability. The following are the results of the answers of R22 students with high 

ability in solving the questions presented in the image below. 

 

 
Figure 6. R22 Student Work Results 

Based on the test results in Figure 6 it is the result of student R22's work. 

R22 students cannot express mathematical ideas by writing down what 

information is known and asked from a problem in the problem. Student R22 

needed to write down what was known and asked about a problem in the 

problem, as shown in Figure 6. This proved that student R22 did not meet the 

indicators of expressing mathematical ideas in writing, as shown in Figure 6. 

R22 students are also less able to analyze or evaluate mathematical ideas 

in writing in carrying out plans to solve problems in problems by not being 

precise in writing down plans to solve problems. Students in solving problems 

still need to be more precise in writing plans to solve problems where students 

write them down 20 Γ— 80 = 1600; 8 Γ— 90 = 720; 2 Γ— 100 = 200; 160 +
720 + 200 = 1520 Γ· 30 = 84 As shown in Figure 6. The answer is correct 
but needs to be corrected because R22 has low-category mathematical 

communication skills. This proves that R22 students still need to meet the 

indicators of analyzing and evaluating mathematical ideas in writing, as 

shown in Figure 6. 

Then student R22 needs to be more able to express mathematical situations 

or problems into mathematical models and draw conclusions. Student R22 is 

less able to express it in a mathematical model, where students write their 

answers  20 Γ— 80 = 1600; 8 Γ— 90 = 720; 2 Γ— 100 = 200; 160 + 720 +
200 = 1520 Γ· 30 = 84 The answer is correct but needs to be corrected 
because R22 does not model a problem into a mathematical model, and R22 

has low-category mathematical communication skills. So it was concluded 

that R22 students had low mathematical communication thinking skills

because they needed to fulfill the three indicators. This proves that student 

R22 still needs to meet the indicators of expressing a mathematical situation 

into a mathematical model, as in Figure 6. 

Research on class VIII-C junior high school students found that the online 

group investigation type cooperative learning model followed the group 

investigation learning steps. Overall all the aspects observed fall into the excellent 

category, so it can be concluded that learning using the group investigation type 

cooperative learning model online is well applied in learning mathematics. This is 

reinforced by Hartoto (2016) that group investigation is cooperative learning, 

emphasizing students to be more active in learning activities. This was also 

conveyed by Nisa et al., (2018) Group investigation is a learning model that allows 

students to be directly and actively involved in the learning process from the 

beginning to the end of learning. The results of the ability to think analytically and 

communicate mathematically fulfill all indicators, namely the indicators of 

distinguishing, organizing, and attributing to indicators of analytical thinking 

ability. Then the indicators of mathematical communication are expressing 

mathematical ideas in writing, analyzing and evaluating mathematical ideas, and 

expressing mathematical situations in written mathematical models. The three 

indicators of analytical thinking ability that have been achieved the most are the 

distinguishing indicator, and the one that has yet to achieve much is the attributing 

indicator. So that students' analytical thinking skills have an analytical category. 

Then the three indicators of mathematical communication ability that were most 

achieved were indicators of expressing mathematical ideas in writing. What had yet 

to be achieved were indicators of analyzing and evaluating mathematical ideas. So 

that students' mathematical communication skills have a mathematical category. 

 

CONCLUSION 

Based on the results of this study, it was found that the online group 

investigation cooperative learning model implementation took place following the 

steps of group investigation learning. From the first to the fourth meeting, students 

are gathered in the WhatsApp group class; then, students are divided into groups of 

4-5. Students are given worksheets, plan study assignments and investigations, 

prepare reports on the results of investigations or organize presentations and 

evaluations. The results of the ability to think analytically and communicate 

mathematically fulfill all indicators, namely the indicators of distinguishing, 

organizing, and attributing to indicators of analytical thinking ability. Then the 

indicators of mathematical communication are expressing mathematical ideas in 

writing, analyzing and evaluating mathematical ideas, and expressing mathematical 

situations in written mathematical models. The three indicators of analytical 

thinking ability that has been achieved the most are the distinguishing indicator, 

and the one that has not achieved much is the attributing indicator. So that students' 

analytical thinking skills have an analytical category. Then the three indicators of 

mathematical communication ability that were most achieved were indicators of 

expressing mathematical ideas in writing. What had not been achieved much were 

indicators of analyzing and evaluating mathematical ideas. So that students' 

mathematical communication skills have a mathematical category.
