Applying an e-PBL Platform to Develop a Storytelling-Based Arithmetic Card Game

Abstract

Abstract. Mathematics is a very important learning subject. Mathematical knowledge can be learned by traditional or distance learning, but the mathematical problem solving ability is hard to improve without experiences through practice. Therefore, developing an interesting learning game to enhance students' problem solving ability is the major concern in this paper. Since the storytelling strategy has been proved to be useful to enhance the students thinking ability, we develop a storytelling-based arithmetic card game to encourage and guide students to speak out their thinking process of problem solving, where the e-Project-Based Learning (e-PBL) platform has been applied to brainstorm the characteristics of the game and construct the storytelling script. Thus, the misconceptions can be easily diagnosed. To evaluate the performance of our approach, 40 5-grade primary school students have participated in the storytelling-based arithmetic card game experiment. The experimental result shows that the storytelling-based learning can enhance the mathematical problem solving ability via playing the game.

Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Jigsaw II dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Matematika Anak

“…Hal ini diamanatkan Permendikbud Nomor 137 Tahun 2014 tentang Standar Nasional Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini, bahwa aspek pengembangan dalam pembelajaran mencakup perkembangan agama dan moral, fisik-motorik, bahasa, kognitif, sosial-emosional, dan seni (Kemendikbud, 2014) Pengembangan kemampuan kognitif pada anak usia dini menjadi penting untuk diperhatikan dalam pembelajaran di PAUD, karena kemampuan kognitif akan menolong dan menentukan cara anak dalam menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi dengan cara yang kreatif dan berbeda. Kemampuan kognitif merupakan salah satu aspek pengembangan dalam pembelajaran di PAUD yang mencakup pengenalan konsep matematika dan sains (Li Ling Hu, 2016). Matematika dan sains seringkali dipandang sebagai pelajaran yang paling sulit pada tingkat pendidikan lanjutan, karena sulit dipahami, bersifat abstrak dan memerlukan daya pikir yang kompleks.…”
