Design of Literacy-Based Mathematics Learning Model by Utilizing Game Methods to Develop the Character and Creativity of Junior High School Students

Abstract

The problem in this research is the low creativity of Junior High School students. The solution for this problem is the MB-LIPE model, which aims to develop students' character and creativity by utilizing the game method in learning. The type of research used is experimental research, namely implementing the MB-LIPE model in learning mathematics. The research design was carried out by a pre-experimental design with the type of One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The population in the study were students of Junior High School in Makassar, the sample in this study were students of class VII at Junior High School MTsN Makassar City. The results showed that students' creativity in the pre-test group obtained an average of 62, 75 (medium) with the results of the grouping categorization in the intermediate interval (60.50%). Furthermore, the implementation of the MB-LIPE Model learning treatment was given for 4 meetings. The creativity of the post-test group students showed an increase to 71.50 (medium), with the grouping categorization being in the medium interval (68.50%). The results of observing student activities in the MB-LIPE model learning are classified as active for discussion, and there is a change in character for the better. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that the MB-LIPE Model (1) can increase students' creativity, (2) can increase student activity in discussions, and (3) there is a change in character for the better. The creativity of the post-test group students showed an increase to 71.50 (medium), with the grouping categorization being in the medium interval (68.50%). The results of observing student activities in the MB-LIPE model learning are classified as active for discussion, and there is a change in character for the better.
