Developing Teaching Material Software Assisted for Numerical Methods

Abstract

Abstract. The NCTM vision shows the importance of two things in school mathematics, which is knowing the mathematics of the 21st century and the need to continue to improve mathematics education to answer the challenges of a changing world. One of the competencies associated with the great challenges of the 21st century is the use of help and tools (including IT), such as: knowing the existence of various tools for mathematical activity. One of the significant challenges in mathematical learning is how to teach students about abstract concepts. In this case, technology in the form of mathematics learning software can be used more widely to embed the abstract concept in mathematics. In mathematics learning, the use of mathematical software can make high level math activity become easier accepted by student. Technology can strengthen student learning by delivering numerical, graphic, and symbolic content without spending the time to calculate complex computing problems manually. The purpose of this research is to design and develop teaching materials software assisted for numerical method. The process of developing the teaching material starts from the defining step, the process of designing the learning material developed based on information obtained from the step of early analysis, learners, materials, tasks that support then done the design step or design, then the last step is the development step. The development of teaching materials software assisted for numerical methods is valid in content. While validator assessment for teaching material in numerical methods is good and can be used with little revision.

Pengembangan E-module Materi Persamaan Nirlanjar dengan Pendekatan Konstruktivisme Berbantuan Microsoft Excel

“…Penggunaan komputer dalam pembelajaran matematika telah banyak dikaji oleh peneliti sebelumnya. Komputer dapat digunakan sebagai alat bantu dalam pembelajaran matematika, termasuk pembelajaran Metode Numerik (Handayani et al, 2017;Keane et al, 2008). Lebih lanjut, selain sebagai alat bantu, komputer juga dapat melatih kemampuan pemecahan masalah mahasiswa.…”

“…Penelitian tentang pengembangan bahan ajar untuk mata kuliah Metode Numerik, termasuk didalamnya materi Persamaan Nirlanjar telah dilakukan oleh beberapa peneliti sebelumnya. (Rikayanti, 2017) dan (Handayani et al, 2017) melakukan pengembangan bahan ajar dengan bantuan program komputer Matlab. (Pratiwi & Oktavinora, 2017) melakukan pengembangan buku ajar dengan pendekatan konstruktivisme.…”
