Analysis of The Elementary School Teachers’ Ability to Use Technology on The Mathematics Online Learning

Abstract

In Indonesia, the implementation of online mathematics learning does not always run smoothly, there are various obstacles that occur, such as the lack of gadgets owned by teachers or students, internet networks are still weak, etc. So that the readiness of mathematics teachers in managing online learning is very necessary, especially in utilizing technology. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the readiness of mathematics teachers in carrying out online learning. In this study, we aim to describe (1) online mathematics learning in primary schools during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) the ability of elementary school teachers to use technology during online learning, especially in learning mathematics; and (3) the content that teachers use to present online learning. We conducted research by distributing an online survey to 56 primary school teachers, over a period of approximately two weeks of data collection. The findings in this study are that most mathematics teachers in schools still use whatsApp and google meet or zoom media in conducting online learning, elementary school teachers still have not mastered learning technology well, and most teachers are still limited to using video downloads from YouTube, PPT and conventional books to present learning.

Students' Mathematics Power Viewed From the Student's Critical Thinking Skills

“…Furthermore, in mathematical communication skills, subjects with low critical thinking skills have difficulty in visualizing the form of story questions into mathematical language, and this results in errors in drawing conclusions and even there are no calculations at all on the answer sheet. Faizah & Sugandi (2022) revealed that subjects with low communication skills have difficulty working on it so they do not do it at all. Moreover, due to low mathematical connection ability, the subject cannot explain how the procedures and concepts are related, and the relation to daily problems.…”

Introduction of Mathematics Learning Media at the Elementary School in SD Inpres Teamate, Pallantikang Village, Pattallassang District, Gowa Regency

“…Before designing the mentoring program, an in-depth analysis was conducted on the situations faced by teachers and students in elementary schools. Currently, many elementary school teachers still face challenges related to the use of conventional learning media in the teaching of Mathematics (Faizah & Sugandi, 2022;Panggayudi et al, 2017). Blackboards, textbooks, and traditional writing tools remain the primary choices for delivering content.…”

Mathematical Communication Ability of High School Students in the Implementation of Experiental Learning Model

“…The learning process in the experiential learning model consists of five phases, namely (1) experience phase, (2) share phase, (3) process phase, (4) generalise phase, (5) apply phase (Sari, 2018). For best results through experiential learning, students should be involved in all activities in experiential learning (Mutmainah et al, 2019;Ali, 2023). Judging from research data, it says that experiential learning can improve student learning outcomes.…”
