Didactical design of square circumference based on Petak Umpet traditional game in Elementary School

Abstract

This research is inspired by the preliminary study that showing learning obstacles experienced by the students in comprehending square circumference concept. The students do not have total comprehension in understanding the square circumference because their low comprehension when studying it for the first time. It becomes the main background in solving the square circumference problems. It is required to create learning design to solve the problems. The researchers create a didactic design based on PetakUmpet traditional game in order to help the students to understand square circumference concept and also to preserve traditional cultures. Research methodology is using Didactical Design Research(DDR) with three level of analysis, there are: prospective analysis, metapedadidacticanalysis and retrospective analysis. Data collection technique is using triangulation (interview, observation and documentation). This research produces a teaching media as learning design in the form of lesson plan developed as an alternative learning design that can be used on square circumference concept in elementary school.
