Abstract
This research is aimed to develop teaching material in numerical methods in the faculty of teaching and education, Batanghari University (Jambi, Indonesia). The Research and Development (R&D) approach was used in the study. The development model used in the research is the instructional development model. After being developed, validation is done by design experts, material experts, and media experts. Then one to one learning, learning in small groups, and field trial trials were conducted. The results of the study based on validation by experts were categorized as feasible with a feasibility percentage for design validation of 90%, media validation of 87.7% and material expertise of 90.1%. On the basis of validation results and tests it is concluded that the teaching materials for learning mathematics are efficient to use.
Highlights
The learning process in the college based on the curriculum has been prepared by each university because it is an autonomous right to higher education
The results of the research based on lecturer interviews showed that currently lecturers in teaching are still using references or teaching materials that are still separate from one book to another so it is necessary to adjust some teaching materials to the syllabus that has been set
The instructional needs identification confirms that for many students it is difficult to find the teaching materials that match with the materials compiled in the numerical method syllabus and books are relatively expensive
Summary
The learning process in the college based on the curriculum has been prepared by each university because it is an autonomous right to higher education. This will impact on the lecture system that refers to a paradigm shift that is centered on students. The results of interviews with students showed a lot of numerical methods materials were difficult to understand relatively to the methods that require iteration. This is one of reasons students are not interested in learning
