PRAKTIKALITAS BUKU AJAR KALKULUS DERIVATIF UNTUK MENUMBUHKAN MOTIVASI BELAJAR MAHASISWA

Introduction

Praktikalitas buku ajar kalkulus derivatif untuk menumbuhkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa. Tingkatkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa kalkulus derivatif dengan buku ajar praktis pasca pandemi. Studi ini kembangkan buku ajar efektif untuk pembelajaran mixed.

Abstract

Pasca Pandemi Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) mengharuskan melakukan pembelajaran mixed yaitu luring dan online termasuk mata kuliah kalkulus derivatif. Belajar online menuntut siswa memiliki motivasi yang kuat untuk belajar. Pengembangan Buku Ajar  merupakan salah satu strategi yang dapat menumbuhkan motivasi siswa. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan Buku Ajar yang praktis dalam menumbuhkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian pengembangan, yaitu pengembangan Buku Ajar dengan model Plomp: (1) investigasi awal, (2) desain, (3) realisasi/konstruksi, (4) pengujian, evaluasi dan revisi, (5) implementasi. Subyek penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika STKIP Andi Matappa. Instrumen penelitian adalah lembar kepraktisan buku ajar. Hasil penelitian skor kepraktisan buku ajar memiliki kriteria sangat praktis. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa buku ajar kalkulus derivatif yang telah dikembangkan memenuhi unsur praktikalitas untuk menumbuhkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa.

Review

This study addresses a highly relevant topic in contemporary education: the development of practical learning materials to enhance student motivation, particularly in the context of post-pandemic mixed-mode learning for calculus derivatif. The abstract clearly states the goal of developing a practical textbook to foster student motivation and concludes that the developed textbook meets "very practical" criteria. This offers a promising direction for educational resource development, aiming to mitigate the challenges associated with online learning environments. The research employs a sound development methodology, specifically the Plomp model, which systematically guides the creation and evaluation of educational interventions through five distinct stages: initial investigation, design, realization/construction, testing/evaluation/revision, and implementation. This structured approach lends credibility to the development process. The focus on calculus derivatif and the identification of Mathematics Education students at STKIP Andi Matappa as the target audience provide a clear scope for the study, indicating a targeted approach to curriculum enhancement. While the study successfully demonstrates the "practicality" of the developed textbook, a significant gap exists between the stated aim of "fostering student motivation" and the sole instrument used, which was a "practicality sheet for the textbook." The abstract does not provide information on how student motivation was directly assessed or how the "practicality" score correlates with actual motivational outcomes. Future research or a more comprehensive abstract would benefit from clarifying: (1) the specific criteria used to define and measure "practicality," (2) who assessed this practicality (e.g., experts, lecturers, students), and (3) critically, whether the textbook's practical nature indeed translated into a measurable increase in student motivation, which was a core objective. This clarification would strengthen the claims made regarding the textbook's impact.
