Still most of mathematics teachers implement traditional
mathematics teaching methods, namely the learning of mathematics by relying on
a single method expository with the cycle: explaining, giving examples, asking
questions and giving the task in the classical style. With this method then the math
teachers have difficulty in: 1) serve various needs / demands of the students
in learning mathematics, 2) encourage underachieving students to improve
academic achievement, 3) encourage students to learn actively, 4) use and
develop mathematical and props 5) encourage students to learn through collaboration.
Development of mathematical
learning model is an attempt to overcome the difficulties of service of
teachers to students in learning mathematics. Teachers' efforts in meeting
the academic demands of a wide range of students, encourage students to improve
achievement of low achievers, encourages students to learn actively, and
encourage students to learn through collaboration, can be done by:
a. Developing Student Worksheet (BLM)
LKS development benefits:
provide an opportunity for students to
work independently
provide an opportunity for students to
work together
provide an opportunity for teachers to
develop a wide range of activities
provide an opportunity for students to
conduct discovery
LKS development barriers or constraints:
increase the workload of teachers
require an additional fee
requires knowledge and skills of teachers
requires continuity of development
require management techniques / management
LKS
Schools need support in order to be
implemented in a comprehensive
b. Formation of study groups
Benefits of the formation of study groups:
encourage students to conduct discussions
provide context and varied learning
environment
provide an opportunity for teachers to
develop a wide range of activities
provide an opportunity for students to
work together
c. Development of methods of class
discussions / group
Benefit the development of methods discussion:
provide an opportunity for students to
initiate
provide an opportunity for students to
think and find a different method
train students to accept others' opinions
deepen understanding of a concept
linking concepts with one another
provide feedback to teachers
Barriers or obstacles in the
development of methods of discussion:
teachers' understanding of the meaning of
the method is relatively less discussion
the students are not used in a discussion
require additional time for presentation
of a material
material that can be discussed relatively
little
dominated by a brilliant student
not in accordance with the prevailing
paradigm of learning
cultural constraints such as the saying
goes: "silence is golden" and "empty barrel crake"
d. Development of visual aids and media
education.
Benefits of the development of visual aids and media education:
providing variety of activities
providing variety of learning methods
variations in context and provide an
atmosphere of learning
clarify understanding of concepts
Barriers or obstacles developing teaching aids and media education:
props are not too relevant to some
material in high school mathematics learning
use of props corpulent time-consuming
skill and creativity requires teachers to
develop teaching aids and educational media
require additional costs for props and
high costs for the development of teaching aids
requires a high commitment to school is
not in accordance with the prevailing paradigm of learning
