Development of a Tangible Geometric Magnetic Learning Media for grade 1 student’s Mathematical preparation.

Abstract

The purposes of this research were to 1) develop a tangible geometric magnetic learning media 2) test the efficiency of the developed media 3) compare learning achievement of grade 1 students before and after learning with mediaand 4) study the satisfaction of grade 1 students who use the tangible geometric magnetic learning media as a drill and practice media after receiving a taught lesson in mathematics. The assessment results of the media developed by 5 experts reveal a consensus that the media are appropriate in the most effective performance of 89.07 / 91.84, which is higher than the defined criteria. Student achievements before and after learning with tangible geometric magnetic learning media increase significantly at .05, and the overall student satisfaction on tangible geometric magnetic learning media is at a high level ( ̅=2.90, SD = 0.29).
