Development of Mathematics Textbooks Through Fable Stories To Strengthen Student Character Using Problem Based Learning

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop textbooks, to know attractiveness, and to know the increase in student learning outcomes. Problems in this study are low learning outcome and weak character. The research method uses Research and Development with the design of One Group Pretest-Postest Design. Data collection techniques used questionnaires, observations and tests. The population of this research is the fourth grader of SD Negeri Gugus III Gadingrejo which is 263 students. Sampling by Cluster Random Sampling as many as 60 students. The result of the research is the realization of the mathematics textbook product based on fable, the attractiveness of the textbook, the increase of experimental class learning result of pretest average of 61.50 postest 75.00 with the gain of 0.39 and the students character of the experimental class the pretest average value 2.32 postest 3.46 with gain of 0.74 after using textbook through fable story using Problem Based Learning.
