Abstract

This research aims at 1) Developing a valid, practical, and effective Toondoo online comic media based on realistic math education (RME) on relations and functions material in junior high school, 2) Knowing whether RME- based Toondoo online comics can improve mathematical literacy skills. The research type is research and development with the ADDIE development model but the implementation stage is not carried out. The population of this research was all eighth grade students of SMPN 7 Jambi. Grade VIII H was taken as the sample of Toondoo online comic research. Response questionnaire and test are the data instruments for a validity, practicality and effectiveness of research. Post-test after learning Toondoo online comic is used as the instrument for mathematical literacy skills. Based on data analysis, the average validation of material, media and design experts falls into the very valid category. The results of the practicality of Toondoo online comic media based on RME are practical, making it worth testing in the learning process. The results of the learning test state that students’ average value is 85.88 and mastery learning is 94.12%. The results of post-test students’ mathematical literacy skills state that the average class is at level 3 and above with a percentage of 91.17% which is very good criteria. Based on student learning outcomes and post-test, online comic media based on RME is effective to be used in learning process in order to improve students’ mathematical literacy skills.

Highlights

  • Mathematical literacy is defined as knowledge to know and apply the basic mathematics in our everyday living to solve problems and be able to explain to others how to use mathematics (Abidin, 2017; Ojose, 2011)

  • Based on the background description above, the objectives of this research are 1) to produce Toondoo online comic media that is based on realistic math education on relations and functions material in junior high schools which are valid, practical, and effective; 2) To find out whether Toondoo online comic based on realistic math education on relations and functions material in junior high school can improve mathematical literacy skills

  • Based on data analysis and research results, a very valid Toondoo online comic was obtained from material experts, design experts and media experts

Summary

Introduction

Mathematical literacy is defined as knowledge to know and apply the basic mathematics in our everyday living to solve problems and be able to explain to others how to use mathematics (Abidin, 2017; Ojose, 2011). According to Mahdiansyah (2014), literacy learning is characterized by 3R namely responding, revising, and reflecting. Students respond to assignments or texts that they read. The teacher responds to students’ answer in order to achieve what is expected. Revising includes various language activities, for example revisions can be carried out at the level of the formulation of ideas. Reflecting is an evaluation of what has been done and what has been seen when the learning process is carried out
