The design of IQF-oriented ARCS-based learning model

Abstract

This article is a summary of some second year research reports of the three years research plan financed by Directorate of Research and Community Service (DRCS). This research aims to develop a learning model based on Attention, Relevance, Confidence and Satisfaction (ARCS) theory oriented towards Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF) that was applied to mathematical statistics course. The stages of development of this learning model were following Plomp’s learning model development process. Plomp’s model has three stages namely: (1) preliminary stage; (2) prototype stage; (3) assessment stage. After went through experts validation process, appeal validation, and several revisions, in this second year, the implementation of this research had stepped on the beginning of assessment stage, limited trial. At this stage, technical assessment was carried out using practicality and effectiveness tests. Main focus of this stage is on field trials to find out whether the prototype model and all learning tools that have been produced are practical and effective. The field trials were conducted at three universities in North Sumatera, namely Undergraduate and Graduate School of State University of Medan, Undergraduate and Graduate School of Muslim Nusantara Medan University and Graduate School of Asahan University. This paper is only reporting the field trial’s result done in Undergraduate School of Mathematics Education Program in State University of Medan. In State University of Medan, the trial was held twice. First was in class A followed by 21 students and second was in class B followed by 40 students. From the results of the first and second trials obtained that all of the learning tools consist of student textbook, lecturer hand book, student work sheets, and other supporting tools indicated high validity. Moreover, there is an enhancement of students’ ability to understand about mathematical statistics. Highest score in the first trial significantly increased from 80.5 to 94.5 in the second trial. While lowest score also significantly increased from 40,5 to 58,0 and average score increased from 63.5 to 74.4 in the second trial.

Development of Cooperative Learning Think-Talk-Write (TTW) Models Based on Batak Culture to Improve Students’ Mathematical Critical Thinking Ability

“…The government has designed various efforts to improve the quality of human resources in Indonesia. Learning tools can increase students learning outcomes by up to 85% (Syahputra & Utami, 2019). One of the factors that can improve students' mathematical critical thinking ability is innovative and student-centered learning models.…”

Using “Digital Black Hole” to Help Student in Learning Arithmetic and Enhance Students' Interest in Learning

“…This shows that "education is planned, conscious, purposeful and organized learning." In this situation, teachers' attention and research on students' learning styles are very important (Nunohara et al, 2020;Syahputra & Utami, 2019). With the development and changes of the times, we are more and more agree today that the learning process is very important.…”

“…They don't like buying books or pencils, they prefer to play games, and they like some challenging knowledge. However, in order to achieve the goal of strengthening students' arithmetical skills, teachers often have to follow the requirements of the textbook (Syahputra & Utami, 2019), allowing students to perform a large number of addition and subtraction operations. So over time, most students lose interest in mathematics.…”

Development of Mathematical Learning Media Based on Geogebra Based Learning Problem to Improve Students’ Creative Thinking Ability

“…The government has designed various efforts to improve the quality of human resources in Indonesia. One step is to develop learning tools that can improve student learning outcomes (Syahputra and Utami, 2019). Therefore, the teacher must be able to create a quality learning process.…”
