ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study is to find out the effects of the formative test on the learning outcome in mathematics. The quasi-experiment with 2x1 factorial design was used in this research. A cluster random sampling was used for 80 students of grade-2 at the State Junior High Schools number 11 and 19 in Jakarta in 2009-2010. The independent variables were the formative test, and for the dependent variables were learning outcome. The student intelligence was used as a co-variable. The test were multiple choice and essay.
