Abstract

This research was purposed to develop module and learning model and instrument of proofing ability in algebra structure through cooperative learning with helping map concept media for students’ of mathematic major and mathematics education in State University and Private University in North Sumatra province. The subject of this research was the students’ of mathematic and mathematics education in Medan State University and Qualitye University. Developmental Research that oriented on developing product at stage and first year was done identification of proofing and positive behavior on algebra structure based on curriculum and was developed module and model cooperative learning with helping concept media map. The result that got at the first stage was the formula of proofing ability and positive behavior on algebra structure with first module and model cooperative learning assisting concept media map that assumed effective, efficient in algebra structure. Module and model of this learning consist of the book of lecturing guiding (lecturing unity schedule, lecturing contract, and lesson plan), module, and book of students’ assignment.

Highlights

Proofing is the main characteristic from mathematical activity that done from since students sat in Elementary School until in the University
Process of proofing of mathematic on grade the university the form of more formal and more accurate than by proofing in elementary school and Junior high school (Lee, 2004), that is by using deductive method, that is implication, contradiction, contraposition, or prove directly, this thing is very difficult to understand by students, it means that indicate that the ability of proofing need to be a special pay attention and to be key of process in learning
Algebra structure is one of subject need to get a special attention, to remember this subject is one of the subject that join in group/class analysis of mathematic and algebra that have pure and abstract behavior, that is one of the subject that encourage maximal proofing ability

Summary

Introduction

Proofing is the main characteristic from mathematical activity that done from since students sat in Elementary School until in the University. Process of proofing of mathematic on grade the university the form of more formal and more accurate than by proofing in elementary school and Junior high school (Lee, 2004), that is by using deductive method, that is implication, contradiction, contraposition, or prove directly, this thing is very difficult to understand by students, it means that indicate that the ability of proofing need to be a special pay attention and to be key of process in learning. Many students that use Bc ⊂ Ac for proofing the above problem, even though the form of Bc ⊂ Ac that will be proved
