Effectiveness of Guided Discovery-Based Module: A Case Study in Padang City, Indonesia

Abstract

One of the research objectives was formulated to improve the quality of education, namely by understanding the problems of students and teachers. There were three main groups of quality characteristics of education highlighted in scientific and academic literature in Russia, namely the quality of educational objectives, the quality of the educational process, and the quality of educational outcomes. The problem of education in Indonesia is the quality of the education process. The development of teaching materials is an alternative to improve the quality of the education process. Research so far has only focused on the implementation of learning models by teachers in the classroom, but the model is not integrated into the teaching materials used. This paper examines how the effectiveness of a product that has been developed for two years on 27 Indonesian students. The product produced is a guided discovery-based module in the Complex Analysis subject. This product was developed after the preliminary analysis (defining) process. Students are given 16 modules during lectures; then students are given a final test containing all the competencies that must be achieved. Test results are scored, and statistical analyses are conducted to compare them with student score before using the module. The test used is t-test. The design used is one of the experimental research designs, One Shot Case Study. The results of the study showed that students who were taught with modules developed effectively to improve student learning outcomes. Further research can be done by implementing different learning models in teaching materials.

Discovery Learning Model on Mathematics Learning at Islamic Private Junior High School Darussalam

“…With this guided discovery model, it is expected to facilitate students in achieving optimal mathematics learning outcomes, both students with high to low initial abilities. The results of learning mathematics in this study were seen from the ability of students to understand concepts and problem-solving abilities (Kariman et al, 2019;Supriadi et al, 2018).…”

Experience Student Background and Their Behavior in Problem Solving

“…This paper was trying to answer that question. This series of investigations extends earlier work to include the examination of how distance of student home from school, family background of student, Contests -contests like math Olympiads that had been followed might influence problem solving behavior of student (Harisman et al, 2018;Harisman, Kusumah, & Kusnandi, 2019a;2019b;Harisman, Kusumah, Kusnandi, & Noto, 2019;Kariman, Harisman, Sovia, & Prahmana, 2019).…”

Pengembangan Modul Statistika Deskriptif Berbasis Pemecahan Masalah

“…Dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa modul yang dikembangkan memenuhi kriteria praktis. Wahab, A., Mahmud, A., & Tiro, M. A., (2018) bahwa pembelajaran menggunakan modul efektif, dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar (Kariman, D., Harisman, Y., Sovia, A., & Prahmana, R. C. I., 2019), dan kemampuannya lebih baik dibandingkan yang mengikuti pembelajaran tradisional (Julius, E., & Lim, A., 2016).…”
