Development of Mathematics Teaching Materials Based on the ALQURUN Teaching Model to Improve Students’ Mathematical Problem-Solving Skills
Keywords:
Mathematics teaching material , ALQURUN teaching model, Mathematical problem-solving, Junior high schoolAbstract
Background: Mathematical problem-solving ability is recognized as a fundamental competency in 21st-century education; however, its development remains limited due to the predominance of conventional instructional practices and the insufficient availability of structured teaching materials. Therefore, there is a need to develop innovative teaching materials that can serve as an alternative to support more meaningful, systematic, and problem-oriented learning processes.
Aims: This study aimed to examine the validity, effectiveness, and students’ responses toward the developed instructional materials in enhancing mathematical problem-solving skills.
Methods: The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The participants were seventh-grade students at Integrated Junior High School Al-Mas’udiyah, Bandung Regency, West Java. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, mathematical problem-solving tests, and student response questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques.
Results: The findings revealed that the developed teaching materials achieved a validity score of 83, indicating that they were highly feasible for instructional use. In addition, the instructional materials demonstrated effectiveness, as reflected by 80% student learning mastery in mathematical problem-solving tests. Student responses also indicated a very positive perception, with an average response score of 88.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that the ALQURUN-based instructional materials successfully facilitated active learning engagement and supported students’ mathematical problem-solving development.
