The Learning Trajectory Based on STEM of Elementary School Pupils’ in Solving Proportion Material: Didactical Design-Research

Abstract

This study aims to determine the trajectory of students' thinking when solving proportion problems using STEM-based learning media. The participants were 27 fifth-grade students from SD Negeri 2 Pilangsari in Cirebon Regency. The students are divided into four groups using purposive sampling and receive the same treatment. The treatment involved a proportion study that utilized STEM media, and the student’s learning trajectory was monitored based on their problem-solving patterns. Hypothetical Learning Trajectory (HLT) was used to develop the hypotheses. The HLT was used as a guide for the researchers' assumptions. The data were collected through observation by researchers, student work, and documentation. The results of the HLT were used to test the assumptions related to the student's thinking processes and their learning in completing proportion operations using STEM. Based on the results obtained during the practice, some findings exceeded the researcher's expectations and hypotheses, but some did not. These differences become a new finding expected to become a subject for further research, where several groups have different ways of thinking based on mathematical disposition. Through STEM media, the electrical engineering students' high enthusiasm and creativity can be known through the electric graph. In conclusion, proportional relationships are an important mathematical concept with practical applications in various fields. The use of STEM media for teaching materials can help students acquire a better understanding of mathematical concepts and skills.
