DESAIN DIDAKTIS PENALARAN MATEMATIS PADA MATA KULIAH KONSEP DASAR MATEMATIKA

Abstract

The epistemological difficulties of students in mathematical concepts motivate this study. The purpose of this research is to make a didactic design in elementary mathematics subject course. The method is Didactic Design Research. The research was conducted at Riau Islamic University majoring in Primary School Teacher Education in the first semester. The research subjects are 43 students who take the Mathematics Basic Concepts subject for the 2019/2020 school year. Data collection technique is using triangulation, which is a combination of written tests, interviews and documentation studies. Data sources are students, lecturers, and textbooks. The results of this study are didactic designs consisting of three learning designs. The didactic design was developed through three stages. First, compile the initial didactic design based on student difficulties. Second, a metaphorical analysis was carried out during the learning process. Third, retrospectively conducted by comparing the results of the initial obstacle learning test and the results of the final obstacle learning test. This article only discusses the initial didactic design based on student difficulties and the analysis of the tactical methods conducted while learning takes place. The data shows that there are fewer learning difficulties for some students, and others still have learning difficulties. Consequently, a revised didactic design is needed to improve the initial didactic design..
