Schema of competencies for mathematics junior high school based in Indonesian curriculum

Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop a Schema of Competencies for Mathematics Junior High School Based in Indonesian Curriculum, specifically for VII and VIII grades and thus, to describe the assessment results given by mathematics education experts and teachers on the product with regard to feasibility of implementation. The research method is qualitative/descriptive using the 4D development model. The subject of this research was a Junior High School mathematics teacher in Yogyakarta and mathematics education experts. Qualitative data was obtained from development notes, suggestions from supervisors, mathematics education experts, and teachers. After that, the data were analyzed using descriptive analysis that is used to revise the products. The quantitative data collection was carried out by questionnaire and analyzed using Aiken’s V. This research produces a schema of competency achievement, which is diagram that describes the order of achievement of a defined competency. There are 23 knowledge and skill basic competencies that contain 19 mathematical topics. There are 9 topics studied in 7th grade and 10 topics studied in 8th grade. The following things that are done in developing a scheme is calculation the number of effective weeks, translation of Indicators from basic competencies, compilation of the semester program, determine competency prerequisites, preparation of product assessment sheets, make a scheme systematics, expert validation and then revise the scheme, after that do a product feasibility assessment. The content-validity coefficient for each material in the range of 0,819 – 0,917 on very high criteria. Therefore, the schema of competency achievement is feasible to implement.
