Innovation of learning line on research in mathematics education to support students in conducting research

Abstract

Learning of research method required effective instruction to help students developed research and academic writing skills. Various approaches had been offered to overcome this obstacle. However, these approaches do not have a special treatment to produce a model of instructional activity in generating research and academic writing well. This paper aims to describe the activities structure of a developed learning line to support research and academic writing skills for students in the mathematics education department. The design research method containing preliminary design, teaching experiment and retrospective analysis was applied. The research described how developed learning line on research contributed to 30 students in mathematics education department in Universitas Negeri Medan. Explicitly, the developed learning line on research was successful in promoting understanding of a research process.
