Development Of Textbook Based On E-Learning ‘Matlab Simulation’ In Numerical Analysis

Abstract

This study aims to develop a Numerical Analysis textbook based on e-learning media ‘Matlab simulation’. Textbooks developed include the completion of calculations using Matlab and supporting applications for e-learning simulations contained in Playstore. The development stages used ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation). Validation of textbooks involved two media experts and material experts. While the limited test involved three students and field trials involving 20 Mathematics Education Study Program students in Class VI A Academic Year 2017 / 2018. The results of the study showed that (1) the assessment of media experts was 79.50% (good category), material experts amounted to 78.20% (good category), and student assessment when the trial was 78.80% (good category ); (2) understanding the concept of students increased from 65.20 (pretest) to 78.90 (posttest); (3) student responses after using textbooks based on MATLAB simulation e-learning media showed good categories, with a mean score of 70.15 %. Based on these results, textbooks developed are appropriate for learning.
