Development of learning innovations and MiC (mathematics in context) teaching materials to strengthen character friends of the earth

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find a model for developing learning innovations and MiC teaching materials to strengthen the character of Sahabat Bumi. This study uses a quasi-experimental design. This research was conducted at MAN 1 Kudus Regency, Central Java Province. The study population was students of class X MAN 1 Kudus Regency. The research sample of 2 classes, taken by cluster-random-sampling technique. Experimental class students were taught using a PBL model with a MiC nuance, while control class students were taught using an expository model. Data were collected using tests, then analyzed descriptively and inferential statistics, using t-tests (independent samples t-test). The results showed (1) learning PBL nuanced MiC in the culture of the Holy community which can improve the ability of the amtematic representation and character of earth friends and (2) various forms of MiC in community culture related to mathematical concepts, so that it can be integrated in mathematics learning at the MA level.
