The development of digital media for active learning management of pre-service Mathematics teachers by using collaborative learning STAD in Math course for students in grade 6

Abstract

            The objectives of this research were: 1) To develop digital media for active learning based on cooperative learning using the STAD technique of mathematics student teachers in Mathematics course  in Grade 6, 2) To evaluate the effectiveness of digital media for active learning based on cooperative learning using the STAD technique of mathematics student teachers in Mathematics course in Grade 6, 3) To study teachers’ satisfaction in Mathematics course  in Grade 6 towards digital media for active learning based on cooperative learning using the STAD technique of mathematics  student teachers in Mathematics course. This research was Research and Development (R&D). The samples were divided into 2 groups: 1) 54 students (3th-year students)  who enrolled in the course Digital Technology for Mathematics Learning, 2) primary teachers in Grade 6 from 8 schools, selected from a purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of 1) a set of digital media for active learning based on cooperative learning using the STAD technique of mathematics student teachers in Mathematics course in Grade 6,  2) Effectiveness evaluation form of digital media for active learning based on cooperative learning using the STAD technique of mathematics student teachers in Mathematics course in Grade 6, 3) Teachers’ satisfaction questionnaire of the samples in school that used digital media for active learning. Statistics used in data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and validity.

            The research results revealed that: 1) the development of digital media for active learning based on cooperative learning using the STAD technique of mathematics student teachers in Mathematics course in Grade 6 was found that digital media for active learning was an exercise and mock test according to the basic mathematics textbook in Grade 6, Volume 1, consisted of 5 topics: (1) greatest common divisor (G.C.D.), lowest common multiple (L.C.M.), (2)  fractions, (3) decimals, (4) percentages and ratios and (5) formats using programs Liveworksheets programs totaling 49 worksheets, classified into 44 worksheets for exercise and 5 worksheets for test. 2) Results of evaluating the effectiveness of digital media for active learning based on cooperative learning using the STAD technique of mathematics student teachers in Mathematics course in Grade 6, it was found that digital media for active learning had the highest level of consistency and propriety, 3. The Results of teacher and students’ satisfaction in Grade 6 towards digital media for active learning based on cooperative learning using the STAD technique of mathematics student teachers in Mathematics course in Grade 6 found that mathematics teachers in Grade 6 were satisfied with digital media for active learning at the highest level.
