Analysis of student needs of the mathematics club (MC) as a co-curricular activities as an effort to grow up 4C skills

Abstract

In the industrial revolution 4.0, 4C’s skills (critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, and communication) are essential for the students. Therefore, starting from elementary school, these skills need to be cultivated. According to Permendikbud No. 23 of 2017, there are 3 activities that must carry out, namely intra-curricular, co-curricular, and extra-curricular. Like intra-curricular activities, co-curricular activities should be structured and systematic as intra-curricular that have teaching material. However, the reality is a lot of school don’t have a good preparation for doing co-curricular. Co-curricular is the activities of deepening the material (indicator) there are in intra-curricular, so the material presented in co-curricular activities must be the material that is difficult or that needs enrichment. One of the materials that requires enrichment is mathematics. It is because mathematics has contained difficult material and is usually feared by the students. This article will specifically discuss the needs of students in full-day schools whose co-curricular activities in Mathematics Club (MC) are an cultivate 4C’s skills. The method used exploratory research method. The result of this research found that Schools needed activities such as Mathematics Club because the schools had not implemented cocurricular activities optimally.
 Di era revolusi industry 4.0, keterampilan 4C (critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration, and communication) penting untuk dimiliki siswa. Oleh karena itu, mulai dari tingkat sekolah dasar, kemampuan ini perlu ditumbuhkan. Sesuai Permendibud No 23 tahun 2017 terdapat 3 kegiatan yang harus dilakukan sekolah yakni intrakurikuler, kokurikuler, dan ekstrakurikuler. Layaknya kegiatan intrakurikuler, kegiatan kokurikuler seharusnya juga tersusun secara terstruktur dan sistematis disertai dengan bahan ajarnya. Namun, kenyataannya sekolah belum memiliki kesiapan yang maksimal terkait dengan perancangan dan pelaksanaan kegiatan kokurikuler tersebut. Kegiatan kokurikuler adalah kegiatan pendalaman materi (indikator) yang ada dalam kegiatan intrakurikuler, jadi materi yang disajikan dalam kegiatan kokurikuler haruslah materi yang sulit atau butuh pengayaan. Salah satu materi yang membutuhkan pengayaan adalah materi matematika. Hal ini dikarenakan matematika selalu menjadi materi yang sulit dan ditakuti siswa. Artikel ini secara spesifik akan membahas kebutuhan siswa di sekolah full day terhadap kegiatan kokurikuler mathematics club sebagai upaya menumbuhkan keterampilan 4C. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian eksploratif dimana peneliti melakukan observasi dan wawancara secara mendalam terhadap kebutuhan sekolah terhadap kegitan kokurikuler Mathematics Club. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa sekolah membutuhkan kegiatan seperti Mathematics Club karena sekolah belum menerapkan kegiatan kokurikuler secara maksimal.

Peningkatan Prestasi Belajar Tema Peristiwa Alam melalui Metode Demonstrasi dengan Berbantuan Media Pembelajaran Microsoft Sway di Sekolah Dasar

“…Oleh sebab itu, pembelajaran matematika perlu diberikan sejak mulai dari jenjang pendidikan sekolah dasar untuk membekali siswa agar mampu berpikir logis, analitis, sistematis, kritis dan kreatif, serta mampu bekerja sama. Hal ini sejalan dengan yang disampaikan oleh Primasatya & Imron (2020) Seluruh siswa kelas 1A di SD Negeri Burengan 2 Kota Kediri telah mengenal pendidikan di TK/RA sebelumnya. Dengan bekal kesadaran dan pentingnya pendidikan yang cukup memadai, tetapi masih terdapat siswa yang mengalami kesulitan dalam pembelajaran, khususnya muatan matematika.…”

Curriculum Program Models for Embedding Character Values for Students

“…Extracurricular activities are carried out outside the classroom to develop students' potential, apply their knowledge, and guide them to develop their potential and talents through mandatory and optional activities. (Ubaidah, 2014), as well as shape the character of students in the fields they are interested in (Arip Budiman & Riki Nasrullah, 2022;Primasatya & Imron, 2020). Intracurricular and extracurricular activities are potential media for building character and improving the academic quality of students (Lestari & Sukanti, 2016).…”

How is Mathematics taught in Pandemic Era? An exploratory Study in Primary School in Indonesia

“…In the current curriculum (Curriculum 2013), since 2018 the teaching of mathematics for higher elementary school grades (grade 4, 5, and 6) there is an additional portion (other than the thematic lesson) for 6 × 35 minutes in a week. This will allow the mathematics lesson to be done completely but still comprehensive [11]. Learning mathematics that is abstract and difficult makes students tend to experience difficulties in understanding mathematical concepts [12].…”
