Designing Adaptive-Content trough E-learning on Electromagnetic Concept

Abstract

Teacher competence development is a national education agenda. Although teachers have adequate learning experience, based on UKA (Academic Competence Test) 2013 results, the content mastery of teachers is still low. In order to reach the maximum development of teacher, it is a must to consider the knowledge level of teachers and the difficulty of content given. This study used a questionnaire given to 40 teachers but only 25 teachers who returned the questionnaire. According to the research, 82% of teachers stated that the electromagnetic is a difficult content. There are several factors why electro magnetic content is considered to be difficult by teachers such as it is abstract, uses a lot of mathematical equations, and correlation with other concepts and content material. From these results, adaptive e-learning design for teacher to learn electromagneticis created.
