Development of Mathematics Interactive E-Worksheet

Abstract

Technology integration has become essential in the rapidly evolving landscape of education of the 21st century. Moreover, the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital tools in learning. This article explores the development of interactive e-worksheets in mathematics education using the Wizer.me platform. In Indonesia, the Merdeka Belajar curriculum emphasises digital technology as a fundamental aspect of addressing accessibility, quality, and equality in education. The developed e-worksheets are designed to enhance the traditional worksheet experience by transforming it into an interactive, engaging, and contemporary format. The advantages include cost savings, environmental friendliness, and combining multimedia elements such as videos and animations to boost student motivation. The study investigates the necessity of digitally accessible learning activities, aligning with the demands of future educational needs. Focusing on fractions as a challenging topic for students, this study uses the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate) as the Research and Development (R&D) model. The Wizer.me platform is employed for its user-friendly interface, varied question types, and integrated Google Classroom. The validation process involves expert judgment from mathematics educators and practical testing among junior high school students. The findings indicate that the developed interactive e-worksheets are valid and practical, receiving positive student responses during the limited trial. The article reveals the importance of innovative learning materials and suggests that teachers leverage technology to create engaging and accessible content, fostering a more dynamic learning environment. The study recommends the widespread adoption of interactive e-worksheets to enhance students' motivation and comprehension, particularly in challenging mathematical concepts like fractions.
