RESEARCH METHODS COURSE RESISTANCE: THE STUDY OF MATHEMATICS LEARNING MODULE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract This research is motivated by the low understanding of students in research methods in learning mathematics. Students who are less able to apply the research method design are indicated by a research method korfus that is not relevant to the research they are doing. This requires a breakthrough to overcome problems in research methods by designing research method modules that suit student needs. This study uses the IDI (Instructional Development Institute) development model. This research consists of three stages, namely the front-end analysis stage, the prototype stage and the assessment stage. The findings of this study indicate that the designed research method module in mathematics learning is declared valid in terms of content and construction. The use of the research method module in the practical mathematics learning process is seen from its use according to observers, students, and lecturers. The research method module in learning mathematics is also effective as seen from the results of observations and interviews with course lecturers and students. Student learning outcomes by using modules in mathematics learning increased as seen from the percentage of posttest tests
