The reasons for conducting this research are that some teachers have taken inappropriate learning strategies and that students’ mathematical disposition and mathematical communication ability in learning are still low. The Didactical Design Research (DDR) method begins with preliminary study on 28 eighth graders (junior high schoolers), aiming at exploring the students’ learning obstacles to develop a micro didactic design. This micro didactic design is then implemented to the same students, after being subjected to validation process. The research results indicate that the learning using micro didactic design can minimize students’ learning obstacles and this, eventually, positively contributes to students’ mathematical communication ability and disposition in materi algebraic factorization. From the data analysis results, it is found that the price of effect size for micro didactic design learning on mathematical communication ability is 1.07, and from Table Z it is found that its contribution is 35.77%. Meanwhile, the price of effect size for micro didactic design learning on mathematical disposition is 0.2, and from Table Z it is found that its contribution is 7.93%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
