Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of validity and practicality of teaching materials in the form of textbooks and digital student activity sheets (SAS) applied mathematics for blended learning models. Research using the 4D model development method includes: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate, carried out at the Politeknik Negeri Bali (PNB). The validity of textbooks and SAS is seen from the feasibility of: content, presentation, language and graphics. While practicality is seen from the ease of use, attractiveness of offerings and benefits. Data were collected through validation and practicality questionnaires, then analyzed descriptively. The results showed the level of validity of textbooks and SAS reached 83.1% and 83.7% were categorized as valid, while the practicality level reached 83.4% and 82.9% were valid categories. Applied mathematics digital teaching materials are suitable for blended learning, but small revisions are needed. The implication is that Draft II of applied mathematics digital teaching materials, its development after minor revisions can be continued to the effectiveness test, evaluation and dissemination stages.

Highlights

The 21st century is based on science and technology, so it demands a country's human resources to master various skills
Has obtained the prototype I draft of textbooks and digital applied mathematics LKM
Prototype of draft I textbooks and Student Activity Sheets (SAS) digital applied mathematics for blended learning refers to the 2014 KKNI curriculum, divided into two textbooks and SAS

Summary

Introduction

The 21st century is based on science and technology, so it demands a country's human resources to master various skills. Higher education institutions must prepare quality graduates who can compete globally and master technological developments (Iswan & Herwina, 2018). Polytechnic as a Vocational College is moving quickly in taking advantage of opportunities and challenges in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 to produce competent, skilled and superior human resources following the needs of the business world and industry in the future. One form is utilizing ICT in the learning process, such as e-learning. This step is a concrete manifestation to increase the achievement of 21st-century competence. Lecturers and students' responses about using e-learning, especially at the Bali State Polytechnic, are not likely to be optimal
