WORKSHOP ALAT PERAGA PEMBELAJARAN SEBAGAI UPAYA PENINGKATAN MINAT BELAJAR SISWA MENGGUNAKAN BATANG PERKALIAN DI SD N 024 TARAI BANGUN
Abstract
Based on the results of discussions with teachers at SD N 024 Tarai Bangun Kampar Regency, it was concluded that the teachers at the elementary school wanted assistance in the form of workshops in the manufacture and use of teaching aids to develop the interest of elementary school students in learning compounded multiplication in mathematics. The multiplication method using the multiplication stem also aims to improve the affective ability of elementary school students to be creative in learning multiplication. This is caused by several factors, including: (1) Many students calculate multiplication using a simple and limited finger in calculating the multiplication of two numbers; (2) Students cannot complete the next material in the advanced class, because they have not been able to quickly break down the results of multiplication; (3) In fact, the teachers at SD N 024 Tarai Bangun Kampar District do not have much experience in making and using learning media in the form of teaching aids. The purpose of this service is to provide workshops in the form of making and using teaching aids in multiplication material. The method used is in the form of lectures, question and answer, demonstrations, the practice of making and using learning media in the form of teaching aids on multiplication. In the service process there is a two-way interaction between the service team and the service participants to convey their ideas, opinions, thoughts and experiences. The results of this service activity are: (1) Students in elementary school can calculate multiplication easily and pleasantly; (2) Students can complete the next material especially in multiplication in grades 4 and 5; and (3) the teachers directly participate in this service and can add insight into the implementation of elementary mathematics learning innovations using teaching aids in the form of multiplication rods.
