Designing Worksheets for Circle Material to Improve Students’ Numeracy Skills

Abstract

Numeracy is the ability to use numbers, data, and mathematical symbols, as well as knowledge and skills in making decisions related to real-life problems. In the current learning era, students are challenged to enhance their numeracy skills. Therefore, instructional materials that can accommodate this need are essential. Hence, the purpose of this research is to develop student worksheets on the circle to improve the numeracy skills of eleventh-grader students in a public school in Yogyakarta. This study employs a research and development approach using the ADDIE model (Analyzing, Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating). Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, questionnaires, numeracy skills tests, expert material validation questionnaires, and expert media validation questionnaires. The sources of data in this study are eleventh-grader students in a public school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, two material expert validators, and two media expert validators. The curriculum, learning model, learning resources, and student characteristics become the objects of this research. The results of this study indicate that: (1) students’ numeracy skills are in the medium category, necessitating an analysis of the need for students worksheets to improve these skills; (2) the researched developed student worksheets containing covers, introductions, learning achievement, learning objectives, content, bibliography, and authors identity; (3) the media design results were then validated by material and media experts, indicating that all experts stated that the media is in the good category, making it valid for use. This research will proceed to the implementation and evaluation stages.
