PAPAN GEKOLA SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA YANG INOVATIF DENGAN PENDEKATAN STEAM

Abstract

Innovative and creative learning through interdisciplinary must be done to overcome technological developments in the 21 century and the industrial revolution 4.0. The use of teaching media is essential to make education in mathematics more dynamic and to meet the challenges of the time. For this reason, the author tries to develop learning media Geometry, Coordinates and Patterns (GEKOLA BOARD), which have been developed using the STEAM approach to create innovative, fun and meaningful interdisciplinary learning. This research is a classroom action research (CAR) conducted at the Insan Rabbany Junior High School. The subject of this research is class VII students, and this research was carried out in 2 cycles with research data collection in the form of documentation, interviews and using survey research instruments. The results showed that increases the achievement of effectiveness on learning. The increases on aspect value at the end of the second cycle the activity aspect showed an average value at 89.5, the creation and innovation aspect showed an average value at 90, and analytical skills aspect showed an average value at 91. The overall learning effectiveness showed an exceptional results. That indicates that using the Gekola board with the STEAM approach was a practical learning innovation to meet the challenges of the industrial revolution 4.0, since interdisciplinary learning, which is required for students, is successfully implemented.
