Developing mathematics learning devices based on creative problem solving model in elementary school

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the characteristics of teaching materials with a valid, practical, and effective for Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model, to improve mathematics learning outcomes for elementary school students. The teaching materials developed were syllabus, lesson plan, student worksheets and modules. This research used Research & Development (R&D) with a Four-D development model consisting of 4 phases of development, namely: Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate. At the Define phase, the researcher conducts initial analysis, student analysis, concept analysis, performance/task analysis and analysis of the formulation of learning objectives. At the Design phase, the researcher arranges tests, selects formats, and designs the syllabus, lesson plans, worksheets, and modules based on creative problem solving. At the development phase, which consists of the assessment of experts with the results of the validation of teaching materials and the results of the validation of research instruments and the dissemination phase of the dissemination of research tools and results. The research instrument used the implementation of the model, student activities, teacher responses, students’ responses and learning outcomes.

Development of Worksheets Based on the Metaphorical Thinking Approach for Students’ Procedural Fluency Ability

“…The purpose of using students' worksheet in the learning process is to strengthen and support learning in achieving indicators and competencies in accordance with the curriculum (Huda, Anggraeni, & Supriatno, 2020). Students' worksheet is defined as printed teaching materials in the form of sheets of paper containing tasks, implementation instructions, and steps for completing tasks on a certain material that must be done by students with reference to basic competencies and indicators that must be achieved (Jusmawati et al, 2021). The developed students' worksheet by the Researcher was designed to be as attractive as possible with language that is easy to understand the 9 th grade students to foster the enthusiasm and motivation of students to learn it then combined with a metaphorical thinking approach that is able to overcome student learning problems, especially for problems of procedural fluency of students.…”

Students' worksheet combined with metaphorical thinking approach, according to Hendriana (in Hasnarika, 2022) suggests that the metaphorical thinking approach is a bridge between model and interpretation, providing a great opportunity for students to exploit their knowledge in mathematics learning.…”

ecological system of the digital educational environment as a new definition of modern education in the view of teachers

“…An important stage, in our opinion, was the Project "School of the Digital Age" (2021), which includes the development, testing and transition to mass use from 2023 of fundamentally new digital educational and methodological complexes, partially or completely replacing traditional textbooks. Today, the question arises about the need to justify the procedure for standardization of digital educational products for secondary schools (Madjdi & Rokhayani, 2021;Jusmawati et al, 2021).…”
