Developing interactive e-module based on realistic mathematics education approach and mathematical literacy ability

Abstract

Teaching and learning activities are carried out online during the pandemic situation. This condition makes the teaching and learning process in the classroom requires teaching materials that can support the learning process. However, some teachers still use teaching materials commonly used during face-to-face learning, which is irrelevant for offline learning. Therefore, teachers need alternative interactive teaching materials that can facilitate online learning. This study aims to produce teaching materials in an interactive e-module based on the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach with the content of number pattern that is valid, practical, and have potentially affected the eight-grade students' mathematical literacy skills. The research method used is design research with type of development studies which include two main stages, namely the preliminary design and the formative evaluation. The data collection instruments used were content and media expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and pretest and posttest questions to measure mathematical literacy skills. This research produces an RME-based e-module on number pattern material that is valid, practical, and potentially affects mathematical literacy skills. The results showed that the e-module was valid in content and media quality with very good criteria. Next, the e-module has also been practical from assessing student responses with good criteria. Finally, the e-module can potentially improve students' mathematical literacy skills, which is indicated by the increase in students' mathematical literacy skills after learning to use the e-module. In addition, the e-module developed in this study contributes as alternative teaching material for teachers in the online learning system.

Realistic Mathematics Engineering for improving elementary school students’ mathematical literacy

“…Additionally, the three models described above were developed in secondary schools and colleges, while learning models aimed at improving mathematical literacy have yet to be developed in elementary schools. Aside from learning models, other products such as web-based RME (Lisnani et al, 2023) and learning modules based on RME (Aulia & Prahmana, 2022;Mattoliang et al, 2022;Yuliana et al, 2023) have also shown effectiveness in increasing students' mathematical literacy.…”

Increasing Competence in Compiling Teaching Materials through Assistance in the Development of Teaching Materials for Lecturers

“…By forming their knowledge, students will have an impression of the learning material, and it will be easier to understand the material they are studying. The learning process requires teaching materials that can support learning in the classroom (Aulia & Prahmana, 2022;Iba'd & Pahlevi, 2020). A lecturer developing teaching materials requires cognitive abilities to analyze the curriculum, indicators and learning objectives (Prihandoko et al, 2018).…”

Developing an electronic module based on mathematical literacy to enhance students' mathematical reasoning

“…In addition, Genc and Erbas (2019) and Pugalee (1999) research results show that mathematical literacy can improve higher-order mathematical thinking skills, including mathematical reasoning abilities. Aulia and Prahmana (2022) and Nursakiah et al (2022) show that e-module with mathematical literacy can improve students' abilities.…”
