Pre-Service Teachers’ Evaluation of E-Modules in Mathematics Materials

Abstract

This study is an advance research to evaluate the use of e-modules in mathematics learning. The research method used is developmental research. Total subjects were 52 pre-service mathematics teacher. The instrument used is a questionnaire which related with uses, advantages and disadvantages of e-modules in mathematical material. The focus of this study is to categorize the results of an evaluation questionnaire about the perceptions of prospective teacher the e-modules on. There are 41 subjects considered that the e-module facilitated the subject to more understand the material and practice questions easily. However, there are 11 subjects who argue that the e-module used is still not helpful in understanding material. Since they were difficult to accessing the module by using their gadget, they cannot understand the concept of the material. Moreover,the description of the material less and types of question were related with daily life make subjects cannot changed to mathematics model. Through the questionnaire, the subject also revealed some suggestions, namely the need for a hardcopy of the mathematical module in order to more easily understand the material and do the exercises directly. In addition, the subject also provides suggestions for adding steps to work on the problems in accordance with the material and provide some practice questions that are not in the form of story problems.
