The Development Of “Advance Os” Teaching Model On Mathematics For Primary School Students

Abstract

The aim of this development research study is for making a prototype of Advance OS
teaching model on Maths for primary school students. It is based on Gall, Gall, & Borg
Research and Development method which is developed from Dick & Carey’s theory. The
steps are now simplified into 3 steps: previous study, model development, and model
measurement. On the first step--previous study--, the reseachers applied descriptivequalitative
approarch by doing library reasearch, field research of the product, and getting the
preliminary research finding. On the second step--model development--, teaching model was
developed by appliying Dick & Carey’s model. This step was a compiling step of planning,
developing draft of product, preliminary test, first revision, and widely test of product. The
last step--model measurement--is the step for measuring the effect of the product. It was done
by conducting “true experimental design†using “posttest–only control designâ€. The research
finding of this study is Advance OS teaching model on mathematics for primary school
students. It has four big steps on appliying the model: presenting advance organizer,
eksploring scientific approach, presenting organizer, and open-ended step including
empowering cognitive structure by giving open-ended questions to the students.
