Didactical design of cube nets based on Pecle traditional games in primary school

Abstract

This research is motivated by the results from the analysis of preliminary study that is the existence of learning obstacle experienced by students on the material of cube nets. Learning obstacles cause the process of students’ understanding on cube nets material will meet the obstacles. Pecle traditional game-based didactical design on the cube nets material can be used to help students in understanding the cube nets material, so it can overcome the learning obstacle experienced by the students as well as a tool to preserve the local culture. The research problem in this study is how the didactical design of the cube nets material based on pecle traditional games in primary school. The purpose of this research is to describe about: (1) the learning obstacle experienced by students on the cube nets material, (2) the didactical design of cube nets material based on pecle traditional games, (3) the implementation of the didactical design, and (4) the students’ response. The method used is a qualitative study of DDR (Didactical Design Research) model, with three-step procedure: prospective analysis, metadidactic analysis, and retrospective analysis. The research was conducted in two state primary schools in Tasikmalaya City. The result of this research is a didactical design in the form of instructional materials in the form of Student Activity Sheet (SAS) which is developed as an alternative didactical design used in mathematics learning of primary school on the cube nets material to overcome the learning obstacles experienced by students.
