Abstract

Courseware have an important role in the achievement of the objectives of education. Nevertheless, it does not mean any learning resources can be used for a type of learning. The teacher should provide and develop materials appropriate to the characteristics and the social environment of  its student. Number Theory courses is one of the basic subjects that would be a prerequisite for courses at the next level, such as Linear Algebra, Complex Analysis, Real Analysis, Transformation Geometry, and Algebra Structure. Thus, the student’s understanding about the essential concepts that exist in this course will determine their success in studying subjects that mentioned above. In trying to understand most of the topics in Number Theory required  the abilities of mathematical argumentation and representation. The ability of argumentation is required in studying the topic of complex number system, special operations, mathematical induction, congruence and divisibility. Ability representation especially verbal representations and symbols required by almost all the topics in this course. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development of teaching and learning Number Theory materials which facilitate students to develop the ability of mathematical argumentation and representation. The model used is a Thiagarajan development model consisting phases of defining, planning, development, and deployment. This paper is restricted to the analysis of the results of the materials validation from number theory experts.

Abstract

Kemampuan seorang guru dalam menggunakan kegiatan khusus di dalam kelas (misalnya membentuk kelompok kerja, praktik menghitung secara mental/tanpa alat hitung, pengajaran langsung atau metode lainnya) merupakan hal yang penting, tetapi keyakinan yang meliputi pemahaman terhadap kematangan dan kesiapan siswa dalam proses belajar juga memiliki kedudukan strategis. Psikologi pembelajaran akan membantu guru dalam mengungkap potensi yang dimiliki siswa dengan tidak melupakan hakikat siswa sebagai manusia yang memiliki jati diri yang berhak diakui eksistensinya dan berbeda satu dengan lainnya. Pembelajaran sebagai proses yang dilalui siswa, tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan perkembangannya. Seorang guru yang professional, tidak akan memandang proses belajar pada siswa tanpa memandang perkembangannya. Dengan memperhatikan perkembangan siswa, maka proses belajar akan terjadi sesuai dengan kesiapannya.Kata Kunci : Psikologi Pembelajaran, Kualitas Lingkungan Belajar Matematika  The ability of the teachers to use the special activities in the classroom (eg, forming learning groups, practice counting mentally/without a calculator, direct instruction or other method) is important, but the belief that includes an understanding of the maturity and readiness of students in the learning process as well has a strategic position. Psychology of learning will help teachers to uncover the potential of students by not forgetting the nature of students as human beings who have a right to be recognized identity and existence distinct from one another. Learning as a process through which students, can not be separated with the development. A professional teacher, will not look at the students' learning process regardless of its development. Having regard to the development of students, the learning process will take place in accordance with readiness.Key words : Psychology of Learning, Learning Mathematics Environmental Quality

Abstract

Mathematical communication skills is an important role in mathematics learning. However, the importance of mathematical communication skills has not been fully realized in learning, especially circle material. Design a learning material based on mathematical communication is one way to develop this ability.  The preliminary study produced the findings of an epistemological learning obstacle so that students' mathematical communication skills were still in the low category. This study aimed to analyze learning obstacle and designing learning materials based on the material mathematical communication circle. This study is design research that contained two stages of Didactical Design Research (DDR), didactic situation and metapedadidactional stage. Research result obtained are students difficulties in relating the material defining elements of the circle with their own language, identifying circle elements that were known and explaining through pictures, calculating the circumference and distance of circular objects based on problems, calculating the surface area of circular objects based on the problems, and rearrange the formula which states the relationship of circle elements. To solve that learning obstacle, we recommend some learning trajectory in a circle that useful for teachers. This design of learning material is valid and practical to implement in the classroom.
