Students’ mathematical communication skills through vlog in project-based learning based on the unity of sciences

Abstract

This study aims to determine the increase in mathematical communication skills of students of UIN Walisongo Semarang using mathematics teaching materials that apply Project Based Learning through vlogs based on unity of sciences. The importance of mathematical communication skills can help students more easily communicate the results of their mind on mathematical problems through symbols, diagrams, tables, or the other media. Mathematical communication skills make it easier for students as prospective teachers to convey messages in the form of mathematical concepts, principles, and objects. Students who have mathematical communication skills have an easy understanding of the level of understanding the concepts and application of mathematics in everyday life. Mathematical communication skills can be honed through a learning process that involves groups in creating and completing a project. Giving projects in the form of vlogs trains students in communicating and expressing their ideas or truths and can inspire others to do the same on the vlogs that have been made. Project-based learning through vlogs with Islamic values as the implementation of the unity of knowledge can instill a paradigm that all knowledge is one interconnected unit, sourced from the verses of Allah, both qauliyah and kauniyah verses, so that it is getting higher. Owned mathematical knowledge, makes someone who studies mathematics more faith in Allah. The results showed that there was an increase in the mathematical communication skills of mathematics education students by using a project-based learning model through vlogs based on science unity.

Educational Vlogs: A Systematic Review

“…; Secules et al, 1992). Similarly, among the 60 studies including this literature review, there were only two studies on teaching science and one study on mathematics (Arrieta et al, 2020; Firdiani et al, 2020; Fitriani & Rohman, 2021). Even though the studies’ findings reported a positive impact on students learning, it’s difficult to generalize these findings.…”

“…No studies discussed the other language elements, such as grammar, though research has been done on using instructional videos for teaching grammar (Alharbi, 2019;Haight et al, 2007;Herron et al, 2006;_ Ilin et al, 2013;Mohammed, 2013.;Secules et al, 1992). Similarly, among the 60 studies including this literature review, there were only two studies on teaching science and one study on mathematics (Arrieta et al, 2020;Firdiani et al, 2020;Fitriani & Rohman, 2021). Even though the studies' findings reported a positive impact on students learning, it's difficult to generalize these findings.…”

Project VLOGI (Video Lectures on Giving Instructions): Effects on Learners’ Performance in Probability and Statistics

“…Consequently, to respond to the statements mentioned above by the authors and the orders provided by the Department of Education (DepEd) in the Philippines, the researcher had conducted this classroom action research (Kunasaraphan, 2018) to his instructions, and project VLOGI was his intervention. This assertion was supported by (Fitriani & Rohman, 2021), who claimed that instructional vlogs created and posted to YouTube through a project-based learning model were effective and feasible learning modalities in distance education, increasing mathematical communication skills. The researcher's intervention, named project VLOGI, was inspired by video blogging (Vlog), the new blogging trend for digital natives in contemporary times (Gao et al, 2010).…”

“…Nonetheless, whatever situations and hindrances to learning that learners may encounter, the government and the department of education have always had solutions to have sustainability in education with the help of the teachers. As a result, the researcher's options in mind was this project VLOGI which would be attractive to learners since it is currently the trend among digital natives through these vlogs (Fitriani & Rohman, 2021). Similarly, due to the pandemic, it is also very timely and relevant to be utilized as (SIM) as Vlogs in the asynchronous or synchronous platform of teaching (Rigo & Mikus, 2021).…”
