Pelatihan Guru Sekolah Dasar dalam Mendesain Soal Cerita Matematika dengan Bahasa Indonesia yang Sesuai Tahapan Perkembangan Anak

Abstract

Teachers' ability to design mathematical story problems that are appropriate to the level of cognitive and language development of children is an important factor in increasing the effectiveness of learning in elementary schools. Unfortunately, many teachers still face challenges in compiling story problems that are balanced between mathematical content and language structures that are easy for students to understand. This community service activity aims to improve the competence of elementary school teachers in designing mathematical story problems that are communicative, contextual, and appropriate to the stages of child development. The implementation method of this activity includes training, workshops, and direct assistance in compiling questions by teachers. The activity was carried out at partner elementary schools (SD) in the West Tanjung Karang area. The results of the activity showed an increase in teachers' understanding of the principles of compiling story problems and an increase in teachers' ability to compile questions that are more interesting, clear, and meaningful for students. This activity also contributed to improving the quality of mathematics and literacy learning at SD Negeri 1 Segalamider in an integrated manner.
