E-module development using 3D PageFlip Professional media to improve mathematics problem solving skills of students in SMP Negeri 1 Padang Panjang

Abstract

Students' problem solving skills are still low, this is because students are weak in solving problem solving problems and teaching materials used in the teaching and learning process have not helped students much in understanding math problems. Utilization of technology is one form of innovation in mathematics learning, such innovation can be the use of e-module 3D PageFlip Professional. The combination of features in PageFlip Professional's 3D softwere will make it easier for students to understand math materials and improve their problem solving skills. Based on this problem, researchers developed an e-module using 3D PageFlip Professional media to improve students' problem solving skills. This research is development research conducted with plomp development model. Plomp model consists of three stages, namely preliminary research phase, development or prototyping phase and assessment phase. In the preliminary stage, needs analysis, curriculum analysis, concept analysis and student analysis are carried out. At the stage of prototype development is carried out formative evaluation consisting of self-evaluation, expert review, one to one evaluation, small group evaluation, and assessment phase. The subject of this study was a grade VIII student at SMP Negeri 1 Padang Panjang. Based on the development that has been implemented, e-module obtained using 3D media PageFilp Professional to improve the mathematical problem solving of students are valid, practical and effective. Valid in terms of content, presentation, language, and graphing, Practical in terms of implementation, time, ease of use and effective in improving the ability to solve mathematical problems of learners.
