Developing Interactive Mobile Mathematics Inquiry to Enhance Students' Problem-solving Skill

Abstract

The research aimed to develop interactive multimedia based on scientific inquiry to improve student mathematics problem-solving as a provision for the era of Society 5.0. The research method used is the Agile Method, which is a software development method. This study involved 120 students from the first, second, to third years who were programming mathematics-related subjects at the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education department, Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo. The results of the development of Interactive Mobile Mathematics Inquiry (IMMI) were valid and proven to improve student problem-solving abilities. In particular, this increase is significant in planning and implementing student plans for a problem. The significance is due to the training in the inquiry aspects during the use of IMMI. The implication of this research in the field of educational technology is that IMMI can be a preliminary study and a pioneer for lecturers, experts, and practitioners to use and further develop IMMI to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills at the tertiary level more broadly as preparation for media availability following the values of technological advances in the future Society 5.0 era.

Online Inclusive School: A Technological Breakthrough in Inclusive Education During the Covid-19 Period

“…Similar online learning for inclusive students has shown improved learning outcomes and deeper understanding (Amir, Ariyanti, et al, 2020;Asongu et al, 2019). This is because mobile online learning assistance is more private (Arifin et al, 2021), so inclusive students can learn more comfortably (Picabea, 2019). This is in line with previous research that mentioned the importance of developing strategies to reduce the pandemic's impact on performance through more sustainable and efficient online learning .…”

Collaborative Problem-Solving Based on Mobile Multimedia

“…In addition, face-to-face learning gaps can also be overcome that interactive multimedia mobile provides a more conditional and easy learning solution according to student needs [27]. In other words, CPMM as a type of interactive multimedia mobile can be a solution and an initial breakthrough for practicing collaborative skills and problem-solving as 21st-century skills that are important and fundamental [15], [28]. Habitual and use of technology that focuses on collaborative skills and digital problem solving are also seen as a real effort to achieve 21st-century skills as a whole to prepare graduates and generations who survive and are innovative in the era of revolution 4.0 [1].…”

“…In this study, interactive mobile multimedia, which is developed, is called collaborative problem-solving based mobile multimedia (CPMM). The meaning of the term "based" in CPMM is that CPMM is developed by paying attention to collaborative elements in terms of multidirectional interactions between students in groups and lecturers during discussions to solve open problems digitally through mobile learning [14], [15].…”

Trends and Research on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics in Higher Education Institutions Through Mobile Learning

“…More work is expected to be carried out on the evaluation of this competence mediated by artificial intelligence systems, adopting diagnostics, training, and formative evaluations and investigating the four components proposed by Jonassen and the phases proposed by Polya for problem-solving. Through the development of these studies, in addition to improving the teaching and learning of problem-solving, they tend to generate interactive and mobile spaces, important for the advances and challenges that this technological society demands (Arifin, et al, 2021).…”
