The Development of Integration Techniques Module to Improve Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability in Integral Calculus

Abstract

This study aims to: 1) To find out how the effectiveness of the integration technique module in integral calculus learning, and 2) To find out whether there is an increase in the mathematical creative thinking ability by using the integration technique module in integral calculus learning. Module development is carried out using the ADDIE model which has five stages are Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The subjects in this study were 16 students in the 3rd semester of the Mathematics Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Riau. The research data collection instruments were an expert validation questionnaire, a student response questionnaire, and a mathematical creative thinking ability test. The data obtained were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis methods. Based on the results of the validity test, the integration technique module was declared valid and suitable for students to use in the integral calculus course. Judging from the results of the module practicality test, the average percentage of practicality values is 77.8125 and is in the practical category. Referring to the results of the module effectiveness test, the n-gain average of students' mathematical creative thinking abilities is 0.64 and is in the medium category. Because the integrated engineering module has met the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness, it can be said that the developed integration technique module can improve students' mathematical creative thinking skills in the integral calculus course.

Analisis Kebutuhan Modul Kalkulus Integral untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Berpikir Kreatif Matematis

“…Upaya mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kreatif ini dapat dikemas dalam sebuah bahan ajar (Solfitri and Siregar, 2021). Salah satu bahan ajar yang dapat digunakan adalah modul.…”

Development of Rational Function Integral E-Worksheet with Linear Factor Denominators to Improve Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability

“…Various mathematical materials can train the ability to think creatively mathematically, one of which is the Rational Function Integration Technique material in the Integral Calculus course. This is because integral calculus learning activities in tertiary institutions aim Hesty Marwani Siregar / Development of Rational Function Integral E-Worksheet with Linear Factor Denominators to Improve Mathematical Creative Thinking Ability to achieve creative abilities, scientific thinking, and reasoning (Ariawan & Nufus, 2017;Solfitri & Siregar, 2021). Learning mathematics can improve the ability to think creatively mathematically because when studying mathematics, students are trained to be able to find relationships and generalization patterns (Arhasy & Mulyani, 2017;Dwijayani, 2019).…”

“…When students are given questions that can be solved in more than 1 way, students are often fixated and try to use the method of the material they recently studied. Students usually find it difficult to express more than one correct answer or different answers (Nurrita, 2018;Solfitri & Siregar, 2021). The answers given by students are tied to the material explained that day.…”

“…Problems related to students' creative activities in learning and the achievement of students' mathematical creative thinking skills need to be overcome. Several ways that can be done to overcome this problem include designing learning tools that can bring out students' mathematical creative thinking abilities, choosing learning methods that can involve students and encourage students to come up with creative ideas, and providing encouragement as well as reinforcement so that students never give up to solve non-standard questions-routinely using various methods (Anggitasari et al, 2020;Solfitri & Siregar, 2021). The provision of e-worksheets can be an alternative to overcome this problem, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, where students must have independent learning and good self-regulation (Assagaf, 2016;.…”

Eksplorasi Etnomatematika pada Kerajinan Gerabah dan Penerapannya dalam Pembelajaran Kalkulus Integral

“…Keadaan ini tentu menjadi suatu tantangan tersendiri bagi para pendidik yaitu bagaimana mengajak para peserta didik untuk memiliki ketertarikan belajar matematika dan mengkondisikan agar pembelajaran matematika selalu berlangsung menyenangkan dengan memperbanyak contoh penerapan dalam kehidupan nyata (Rahmawati & Muchlian, 2019) Salah satu materi yang sering dianggap sulit dipahami oleh para peserta didik bahkan hingga jenjang perguruan tinggi adalah materi kalkulus secara khusus integral. Beberapa tujuan mata kuliah kalkulus integral adalah untuk memberikan pemahaman kepada peserta didik tentang konsep integral, teknik pengintegralan, integral fungsi transenden, luas daerah, volume, serta integral tidak wajar (Solfitri, Siregar, & Syari, 2019). Kondisi kesulitan ini berdasarkan wawancara yang dilakukan kepada para mahasiswa semester awal program Studi Informatika dan Teknik Industri serta berdasarkan pengalaman peneliti sebagai pendidik di jenjang SMA (Sekolah Menengah Atas) maupun perguruan tinggi.…”
