Focusky application-assisted module teaching materials based on creative problem solving (CPS)

Abstract

Learning media is an important part of learning. Through the use of learning media, the material will be conveyed easily. Apart from that, it can also help students absorb information, so that learning objectives can be achieved. This research aims to develop teaching materials in the form of modules assisted by the CPS-based Focusky application and to determine the feasibility and practicality of these modules. This type of research is development using the Thiagarajan development model. Media development was carried out on class VII social arithmetic material at MTs Darul A'mal Metro. The data collection instruments used in this research were pretest questions used to determine students' problem solving abilities, media expert and material expert questionnaires used to test the quality of the module's teaching materials, and student response questionnaires to test the practicality of the module being developed. The data collection methods used in this research are interviews, documentation and questionnaires. This research produces a product in the form of module teaching materials assisted by the CPS-based Focusky application on social arithmetic material. The results of the assessment by media experts were in the very appropriate category, the assessment from material experts by lecturers was in the very appropriate category. Meanwhile, based on trials on class VII students, totaling 27 students at MTs Darul A'mal Metro, the category was obtained as very feasible. In this way, the module teaching materials developed can be used as a medium in mathematics learning.
