| Summary: | This study aims to examine the development of an interactive learning model using Visual Basic Application (VBA) for Microsoft excel with ethnomathematical content on fractions, to improve primary school students' mathematical reasoning abilities. The research method used is development through the stages of conducting preliminary studies and literature, designing interactive learning models, conducting FGDs, producing initial designs of interactive learning models, conducting limited trials in one primary school at Cianjur, making revisions, conducting extensive trials in three primary schools in West Java, producing trial in a primary school at Cimahi. The last obtaining a final model and conducting socialization. In the end, it provides a test of mathematical reasoning ability. The research subjects were teachers and students in five primary schools in West Java. The research instruments were interviews, validation sheets, documentation, learning observation sheets, questionnaires and mathematical reasoning ability test. The data analysis technique uses descriptive and inferential statistics to analyse the scores on the characteristics of the developed interactive learning model, which also considers the input from the validator to improve the learning model. The assessment criteria for the developed learning model include syntax, social system, the principle of reaction, supports system and instructional impact. The results showed that 1) The Interactive learning model was declared very valid based on the validity of the experts, users and students; 2) The responses of teachers and students were generally positive; 3)The achievement of students' mathematical reasoning abilities after being give learning with an interactive model using VBA for Microsoft Excel with ethnomathematical contents was better than using ordinary learning. |
