STEM-based digital pocket book: The design and implementation of students' mathematical communication ability

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the feasibility, the response of educators and students, and the usefulness of Appypie-assisted STEM-based digital pocketbooks on students' mathematical communication abilities in SPLDV material. Students from MTs 2 Negeri Bandar Lampung participated in this study. The data collection instrument employed was a questionnaire distributed to material experts, media experts, and students. The research and development (R&D) approach was used in this study, with the ADDIE development model, which has five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. According to the results of the data analysis from material experts and media experts, the learning media generated were very suitable for usage, with an average score of 3.63 material experts and 3.73 media experts. Student responses indicated that the generated learning media were engaging, with an average score of 3.52 for small-class trials and 3.77 for large-class trial. Because of the widespread prevalence of COVID-19, research has been limited to the development stage, making it impossible to examine the usefulness of Appypie-assisted STEM-based digital pocketbooks in the learning process.
