Technology-Integrated Collaborative Learning: Convenient Alternative in Developing the Problem Solving Capability and Positive Attitude towards Mathematics

Abstract

This research is aimed to describe a technology-integrated collaborative learning, exploring the student perception associated with the implemented learning method as well as observing the effectiveness of this method compared to the individual method. This research was conducted in Islamic Institute of Ma’arif NU Metro – Indonesia in 2017/2018 academic year. Through the application of cluster random sampling technique, about 28 students were determined as the research sample. The research sample was the fifth semester students of mathematics education who are currently learning the geometric transformation subject. The experimental class which becomes the focus of researcher is consist of 28 students who were derived from the cluster random sampling technique. This research design is a mixed research. Observation sheet, interview, and test of problem solving capability were used as the data collecting instrument. The results of this research indicates that the collaborative process is performing well. The learning process was conducted in the class, not in the computer laboratory. The limited number of laptop did not impact the learning process. The observation results indicate that the level of student enthusiasm in following the learning process is adequately high. The positive comments from students show that the technology-integrated collaborative method has supported them to comprehend the mathematics concepts as well as growing the high intention of learning. Negative comments that occur are associated with the complexity of studied material and the difficulty in using the application for a small number of students. The test results of problem solving capability has shown that the method of technology-integrated collaborative learning provides better results compared to the individual learning..

“…The participation of teachers in creative and innovative learning is needed to achieve educational goals. This is in line with the opinion expressed by [1] Teachers are required to reform education, including how to make the most of learning resources outside of school, the structural overhaul of teacher-student relationships such as friendship, use of modern technology and mastery [9]. Science and technology, cooperation with colleagues between schools, and cooperation with environmental communities.…”

“…Learning innovations in the classroom need to be carried out by teachers to improve the quality of learning and make easy in understanding the materials. [9] Therefore, the authors made learning innovations in the classroom through research activities using audiovisual media in classroom learning. The use of audiovisual media in learning makes it easier for students to understand the subject matter.…”

“…Creative and innovative teachers will always be wanted by students because they are always present in a new classroom atmosphere, full of innovation, and creativity. Reference [9]. Argues that Audio-Visual Media is a set of media that can simultaneously display images and sounds at the same time, which contains learning messages.…”
