Kata kunci: matematika berbasis literatur, desain didaktis, pemahaman matematika INTRODUCTION The understanding of mathematical concepts is fundamental proficiency (Purpura et al. Cragg & Gilmore, 2014. Wulandari, 2015. Yanti et al. , 2. which must be accomplished in the process of learning mathematics (Reys et al. , 2014. Purwanti et al. , 2016. Sari, 2017. Edriati et al. , 2. Understanding the concept of mathematics affects students' mathematical Learning outcomes (Stylianou, 2011. Planinic et al. , 2012. Novitasari & Leonard, 2. Considering that mathematics is a lesson that requires centralizing thought to remember and re-identify the material learned (Hadi & Kasum, 2. , it takes appropriate learning methods. According to Herman . There are several consequences of mental processes that occur when learning is focused on understanding and purposing. The consequences are support memory, reduce the amount to remember, increase the transfer, and influence studentsAos belief in mathematics. Furthermore. Hendriana et al. stated that mathematical understanding is an important foundation for thinking and resolving mathematical and real-life issues. Besides, the ability of mathematical understanding is very important in the development of other mathematical capabilities, namely communication, problem-solving, reasoning, connection, representation, critical thinking, and creative thinking. Thus, the achievement of conceptual understanding can make students more enjoy in learning math. Because if the student reaches Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA a strong understanding of the concept, then the student will reach the high level in conquering the math, so students will be inclined to enjoy the lessons. In fact studentsAos understanding in math is still a problem in learning activity (Mattuvarkuzhali, 2012. Planinic et al. , 2012. Mensah et al. , 2013. Hadi & Kasum, 2015. Priyambodo, 2016. Pamungkas & Afriansyah, 2017. Suraji et al. , 2. including in the fractional concept. The low understanding of mathematical concepts is due to the lack of the selection of learning models (Hadi & Kasum, 2. , less optimal in using the media (Febriyanto et al. , 2. , and concentrating on the practice of the problem (Luritawaty, 2. Based on the observation and results of Class 6 interviews in three Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Serang City of Banten Province, it was found that another cause that resulted in the low understanding of students' mathematics on the concept of fractional is because students are faced with more complex symbols and lack of the concept of fractional use in daily life. Fazio and Segler's . in his research cited by Palpialy & Nurlaelah . suggests that in many countries, the average of student has never gained a good conceptual knowledge of fractions. For example on the national exam in the Americas, only 50% of Grade 8 students are able to sort three shards correctly, from the smallest to largest value. While in countries such as China and Japan, the fraction is considered a difficult topic (Palpialy & Nurlaelah. Thus, the fractional concept of mathematical learning is difficult for students to teach. A preliminary study of Grade 6 students in three Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Serang City of Banten Province reported that students have not been able to solve problems in understanding the concept of a decimal fraction when they have learned the concepts. It has tested the previous class. Besides, some findings were obtained that: . students do not know the numbers on decimal fraction, it showed by some errors in performing arithmetic calculate operations and comparing decimal fractions. Students can operate fewer decimal fractions of 1 into the form of images, but they are experiencing difficulties for decimal fractions of more than 1 . ixed decimal fractio. The results of interviews with teachers revealed that teachers have some obstacles in determining the right learning strategies for decimal fractional materials. According to them, teaching fractional concept using visual media is only done at the time of fractional However, in advanced fractional materials such as fractional value concepts, comparing fractions, counting, and fractional writing operations in other forms . ecimal fraction. , the learning process tends to emphasize on memorizing formulas. In fact, mathematical concepts, in particular, fractional concepts . ncluding decimal fragment. must be presented in contextual form to facilitate students. Teachers don't sleep wanting to Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA approach contextual learning, but they are limited by what kind of contextual learning ideas can be applied to decimal fractional material. Hurst and Cordes's study . , reported that children had greater learning experience with fraction notation when they processed fractional notation. As for Desmet et al. , . reported that zero right after the decimal point is understood better and earlier than zero at the end of the fractional part of the number. Meanwhile. Lee et al. , . stated that fractions and decimals cannot be attributed to the specific units of education, language, and its For addressing the problem of students' learning difficulties in fractional decimal materials. Lain & Wong . in their research report suggested a theoretical It is in line with Yldz et al. , . that the development of instructional materials is able to increase student success in fractional decimal material. Thus, the development of didactic design is necessary in an effort to improve the success of students' learning on fractional decimal concepts. This problem prompted researchers to develop a didactical design that is expected to help teachers and students to overcome learning constraints on fractional decimal numbers. The didactic design developed comes from Dick . Suryadi & Suratno . by utilizing learning resources in the form of storybooks. Didactic design theory was developed from Warries . Dick et al. , and Chang . Yun-fang's research . reported in the paper that synchronizing pedagogical theory on didactic design is one of the important content. He also discussed "teaching design for learning" combined with learning characteristics in the engineering profession, basic principles in teaching, and presentation of the framework of both courses. Thus, it is considered important to develop didactic design because this book is a story related to the concept of mathematics for elementary school students quite a lot in the market. Haury . mentioned that the learning source of mathematics is presented as literature-based mathematics. In the early 1980. NCTM has already reviewed the benefits of using the storybook in Mathematics Learning (Lidinillah et al. , 2. , the results of the study explaining that the storybook can: . present a rich context to understand mathematical ideas. Show students how to view the world from a mathematical perspective. Illustrate how mathematics has been used throughout history by humans to live their lives. Illustrate interdisciplinary relationship to mathematics. awaken the imagination of the child and his curiosity. According to Bafile . , combining mathematics and storytelling is a way for teachers to invite children into the world of mathematics, reading books that put together Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA mathematical ideas into compelling stories that help dispel the myth that mathematics is dry, unimaginative, and inaccessible. Children's books can not only generate interest in mathematics but also provide the context that helps them to understand the meaning of an abstract concept. While Haury . has classified various ways of using children's reading books in mathematics learning in elementary school, namely to: . present context and model for mathematical activities. Introduce various manipulative media. Inspire mathematical creative experiences. Posing an interesting problem. Preparing mathematical concepts and skills. Develop and explain mathematical concepts or skills. as well as to refer to mathematical concepts and skills. Based on these issues, the study aims to determine effective mathematical learning methods and techniques on the concept of decimal fractions by using storybooks as learning resources. METHODS This research is the Didactical Design Research (DDR) of Suryadi . , with the following stages of DDR: . A prospective analysis stage, i. the analysis of the Didactic and Pedagogical Situation (DPS) before learning, the synthesis of teacher thought outcomes based on the various possibilities predicted to occur in the learning event. metapedadidactic analysis, i. analysis during the learning process which includes components of unity, flexibility, and coherence. re-prospective analysis, which is the analysis associates to the results of DPS analyzers with the results of metapedadidactic analysis (Suryadi & Suratno. The didactic design has been developed implemented in 28 grade 6 students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Nurul Hidayah Kadupandak Serang City of Banten Province in the 1st Semester of the academic year 2018/2019. Interviews were conducted with teachers using interview sheets to obtain data about learning barriers before the didactic design was made. Observations are made to obtain data about what things are appropriate at the time of learning and are not by the didactic design The essay test is used as a measuring instrument to know the students' understanding of mathematical concepts. The validity of the instrument is determined through the judgment of the mathematics education expert. The flow of learning activities consists of three phases, including: . Preliminary study that is conducting the learning obstacle diagnosis test, identifying and analyzing the learning obstacle, setting the didactical design model to be developed based on learning obstacle. The development of the didactic design, including: . a prospective analysis by making the design of the didactic (LIP) which includes the prediction of students ' response to performed and its anticipator. The analysis of metapedadidactic by implementing the Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji.

Also in measuring the effectiveness of the design by providing a test of understanding and a questionnaire of reading interest to students. The final design model was didactic by making the conclusion of the design model Didactic. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The results of the study through interviews with grade 6 teachers in three Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Serang City, obtained information that students experienced obstacles in learning mathematics on the concept of a decimal fraction. Then observe the learning device used by the teacher on the fractional concept. The Learning Devices teachers use include: the LIP, the Book of packages, the media, and the Student Worksheets (SW). Analysis of the LIP focused on the concept: Change the fraction shape to another form and compare the fraction. Findings obtained from the observation of the Learning Implementation Plan (LIP) are as follows: . Learning methods used to limit the conventional learning, i. questions and answers, and exercises . Exploration. Elaboration and Confirmation (EEC) Learning measures do not depict to the existence of active learning. addition, there was no stage of exploration on learning activities. Unoperational and detailed learning measures. No media learning other than the package book. Student Worksheets (SW) used are not teaching materials as guides for learning activities but rather a form of practice questions. teaching materials on the package book does not present understanding of students mathematical concepts but is more likely to direct them to the steps . Furthermore, a test for students to explore the extent to which the learning obstacle faced them on the material changed the fractional shape to the decimal form and vice versa, as well as comparing the fraction and implementation of decimal fraction concept. Diagnostic test results show that students have a learning obstacle in the ability to conceptualize the material basic concept of decimal fraction shown in table 1. Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA Table 1. Percentage of student errors on diagnostic tests on understanding decimal fractional concepts Understanding Indicators Redeclare concepts that have been studied Transforming a form of representation into other forms Presenting concepts in various forms of mathematical representation . ables, graphs, diagrams, sketches, mathematical models or other way. Percentage Based on table 1 above, it can be seen that students ' percentage of an error on indicators numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively amounted to 40. 0%, 40. 0, 92. 8%, and 82. The smallest student error percentage is located in indicators numbers 1 and 2, while the largest student error percentage is located in indicator number 3 . 8%). The diagnostic test results show that most students are still not able to present the concept of decimal fractional in various forms of mathematical representation. In measuring this ability, students are asked to describe a shape indicating a specific decimal fraction. In addition, most students are also did mistakes in applying the concepts of the decimal fraction logically. To measure this ability students are asked to solve a story related to a decimal fraction. Based on the results of the diagnostic test, it is determined that the design of didactic to be designed is the didactic by utilizing a storybook related to fractional material. The storybook used consists of two storybooks titled "Menyelamatkan Diri dari Pulau TengkorakAy and "Potong Semakin Kecil dan Semakin Kecil Lagi". Didactical Design Plan The preparation of the design was done through three phases: prospective analysis, metapedadidactic analysis, and re-prospective. These three stages will be outlined as follows. Prospective analysis At this stage, precise design of teaching materials and learning scenarios is determined by utilizing the storybook. In making the effective learning process, students are equipped with Student Activity Sheet (SAS) which contains several questions and instructions that are expected to help students better understand the book and direct students to the achievement of The chosen learning model is a cooperative learning model with several methods, including observation methods, questions and answers, discussions, and assignments. In general, in group learning activities, students are asked to understand and discuss the contents of the storybook as a material to fill the SAS. For students to be more active in the discussion process, during the discussion process the teacher conducts the assessment. Decimal fractional material studied in grade 6 of the K-13 curriculum is associated with the Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA competency standard: . Solving the fractional calculate operations in problem-solving, and the basic competency: . Converts the fraction to decimal form. While the basic competency indicator is described as follows: . redefines the meaning of a fraction, . explains the meaning of decimal fractions, . explains the place value of a decimal fraction, . changes the usual fraction to the decimal fraction and vice versa, and . compares the decimal fraction. In achieving the learning indicators and objectives, it is then designed to be a description of the learning activities that include teacher activities, students, and student response predictions accompanied by the anticipation of its didacticism. Learning activities are allocated to 2 meetings. At the first meeting, students are directed to: . redefine the meaning of fractions, and . explain the meaning of decimal fractions. The teaching materials used for the first meeting are the storybooks with the title AuMenyelamatkan Diri dari Pulau Tengkorak (Escape from Skull Islan. Ay, written by Okim Choi and published by PT.

Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA The design of the first and second meetings has three phases of core activities: exploration, elaboration, and confirmation. The three stages of each meeting will be outlined First learning Exploration At this stage, teacher provides several questions to explore the students ' initial ability to share, for example the first question: "There is a mother buying 10 oranges if a family member is 5 people. " What should a mother do? How many oranges does each family member have? How is the mathematical sentence of the problem? Second question: "How if there is 1 citrus distributed to 2 people?" How does the mathematical sentence form? Can I find the split difference on the first and second questions? At this stage, students answer: "Share the orange, each of which gets 2 pieces, 10:5 = As for answering the second question, students answered: "Each got 1/2 the result of the first division of the horns intact and the two horns were not intact. " From students' answers, it appears that the split results are two possibilities, i. original number or fraction. Elaboration At this stage, teachers do the activities: . Ask, who likes to read the story book? Then, inform students that they will learn the divisions that are not intact through the story . Ask students to read and understand the books shared with each group. Ask students to discuss filling the SAS in groups (Teachers monitor, assess and provide guidance if necessar. Ask students to present the results of the discussion . eachers guiding the presentatio. While students do the activity answered the teacher question. "I am. I am. ,Ay Students then read and understand a storybook with a group of friends . , followed by a discussion to answer the SAS, and concluded with the activity of presenting the results of the discussion by their respective groups. Confirmation At this stage, teachers comment on student discussion results . einforcing correct answers and straightening out erroneous answer. and directing students to make conclusions. Students pay attention to the teacher and make conclusions. Second learning Exploration At this stage, teacher gives a question of digging up the students' initial skills regarding the value of place number, for example: "Mother has 2 bands bound by one hundred Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA and one hundred, 4 bands tied by ten and 3 rods which are not bound. What is the right number to symbolize the number of mothers?" Figure. Lidi Bond The teacher continues to the question: "Do you remember the value of the place of every number in numbers 243? (If the student forgets, the teacher reminds me agai. What do you think is called hundreds, dozens, and units? (If students have difficulty answering, the teacher asks students to observe the picture of the bonds of Lidi. ) Which is the least value of numbers? According to you, could there be a smaller place value than a unit? (If the student does not answer, the teacher gives the referring question. ) Remember the name of the number 035? What are the value names of the number of places? Can you describe the value of the place as well as the number 243 shown in the Lidi? While students are: "Lidi. Lidi. wo hundred and forty-thre. 2 Hundred, 4 ten and 3 units. Students . think and answer because 2 shows many of bonds a hundred, 4 the number of ten-ten and 3-no-group bonds. Unit place value. Students think . aybe students do not answe. Students replied: The "decimal number" . student is confused by the name of the place of the number behind the comma. From this activity, it is hoped that students want to know about the value where the numbers are behind a comma on decimal numbers and are expected to emerge a spirit of reading the storybook. Therefore. Guru continues, "well. To get this answer let, we together read the storybook! " Elaboration At this stage, teachers: ask students to read and understand the books shared with each group . eachers judg. Retelling the core of the storybook and explaining the instruction in the Student Activity Sheet (SAS). Have students discuss completing the SAS in groups (Teachers monitor, assess and member guidance if necessar. and have students present the results of the discussion . eacher guides and assesses the presentatio. At this stage, students read and understand the storybook with a group of friend, they follow along, and discuss to fill in the SAS, and then they present the results of the discussion through teacher's guidance. Confirmation At this stage, teacher comments on the results of the student's discussion . einforcing the correct answer and straightening out the wrong answe. , informing him that the value of the number place behind a comma is tenth . ne digit behind a comm. , a hundredth . wo digits behind a comm. and so on and directing students to make conclusions. While the Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA students follow along, then conclude that the fraction 0. 1 = 1/10 . ne part of 10 part. and 01 = 1/100 . part of the 100 sectio. Metapedadidactic Analysis First Learning The first didactical design for the indicator: . redefines the meaning of fractions, and . explains the meaning of decimal fractions, as a whole has not been done as Some activities that appear outside of planning include: . Although students are very enthusiastic at the time the teacher shares the storybook, however, it turns out that students need a very long time to fill in the activity sheet. This is because students only focus on the story, but not focus on the mathematical concept that appears on the story. The provision of Student Activity Sheets (SAS) makes some students less focused on the . The determination of group members consisting of 3 or 4 people is less effective because the discussion process becomes not maximal. At the time of the presentation, students are reluctant to come to the front of the class, this is because students are not accustomed to performing in front of the class. Because of these two things, the training activities, in the end, have not been done in the classroom but brought home to be used as homework. Based on the above events, researchers have finally made revisions to the didactical design of the second meeting, namely: . a group of 3 or 4 people who were converted into 2 persons . orking with a bench frien. Students are emphasized that there is a group assessment during the discussion process. The teacher Shares Student Activity Sheet (SAS) after students have finished reading and understanding the content of the storybook. The teacher first explains the intent of the questions or instructions on the SAS before the student initiates the discussion activity. Second learning Revisions made to the didactic design for a second meeting based on the events that arose at the first meeting gave enough meaningful changes to the learning process. Student responses by the predictions are actionable by the teacher by giving anticipated pre-planned While students' responses that appear outside of the prediction can be followed up by the teacher by giving the didactic response according to the existing conditions. Retrospective Analysis Based on the observation results, the first didactic design implementation shows that there are still discrepancies between the concept and its implementations. However, the learning process demonstrates different learning nuances with previous learning. Because Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA students are actively learning through the provided resources . and there are also multi-directional interactions . tudents, student-teaching materials, and students-teacher. The implementation of the second didactical design shows progress compared to the first A more conducive and meaningful learning process depicts students more relaxed and enjoying the mathematical learning process. Timing to share Student Activity Sheets (SAS) after students understand the content of the storybook greatly impacts the student's concentration on reading and understanding the mathematical stories and concepts in it. Besides, the process of discussion and exercise is more vivid because the teacher has already prepared a reward for the students. The following is presented a percentage table of the student error after didactic design implementation. Table 2. Student error percentage after didactic design implementation Understanding Indicators Redeclare concepts that have been studied Presenting concepts in various forms of mathematical representation . ables, graphs, diagrams, sketches, mathematical models or other Redeclare concepts that have been studied Presenting concepts in various forms of mathematical representations . ables, graphs, diagrams, sketches, mathematical model. Identify the properties of the operation or concept Give examples or examples of cons of the concepts learned Transforming a form of representation into other forms Applying concepts logically Percentage Based on the above data, it can be seen that the student's fault rate in resolving the problem of fractional conception and decimal fraction becomes smaller. Thus, it can be concluded that the design of learning by utilizing storybooks can help reduce students ' learning barriers. This strengthens the idea of Prawiradilaga . in his book that the learning process occurs because of the conditions of learning. Learning conditions such as the family environment (Putri et al. , 2. Psychosocial (Latifah et al. , 2018. Hujaemah, et al. Busyaeri & Aslamiyah, 2. Learning Style (Patimah & Abdullah, 2. Learning Media (Latifah & Isnaini, 2015. Supardi et al. , 2015. Juhji, 2017.

Mutmainah, et al. , 2019. Syaepudin & Juhji, 2. influenced the learning outcomes of The use of the decimal fraction concept in Storybook has been implemented in the learning process. It has been following to the theory of mathematical learning in elementary Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati. Helnanelis. Juhji. Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA From the psychological aspect, learning by utilizing the storybook can help bridge the abstract mathematical concept with the studentsAos level of thinking are still in the thinking phase of concrete operations. This is in line with the research of Hamidah et al . that the use of story contexts can help students understand. An interesting story with illustrations and related to the context of real awareness makes students easier to understand and interpret the mathematical concepts learned. Piaget in Anwar, et al . revealed children in the age range of 7-12 years thinking its logic is based on the physical manipulation of objects or events directly experienced by the child. From the theories of learning, learning is following to the paradigm of constructivism, because the learning process is done by students by self-construction with the help of teaching materials provided. The development theory of Piaget represents constructivism as it sees cognitive development as a process in which the child actively builds the system of meaning and understanding of real threads through their experiences and interactions. The final form of didactic design by utilizing storybook Based on the results of the first and second didactical design development, it can be concluded that the storybook is very likely to be used as a teaching material for learning mathematics at the elementary school level. The steps that teachers need to note are as follows: . analyzing the suitability of mathematical concepts covered in storybooks with competency standards, basic competencies and learning indicators. Ensure students have mastered prerequisite material such as reading smoothly. Prepare Student Activity Sheets (SAS) to assist students in achieving understanding of the mathematical concepts listed on the . Group students into small groups . -4 peopl. Ask students to read the story and record the conclusion while reading results. Asking students to discuss activities on the student activity sheet . he tinting is not shared in conjunction with the storybook, but after Stage 5 is performe. Ask students to present the reading results and the Student Activity Sheet (SAS) that have been discussed. Confirm the correct concept and straighten the wrong concept. give exercises of varying problems to sharpen understanding. The results of this study are in line with the results of Yun-fang's research . which stated that didactic design needs to be reviewed and reviewed with student learning and characteristic teaching principles. In line with that. Lo & Hew . provide advice on course planning, out-of-class learning, and classroom learning. Al Ibtida: Jurnal Pendidikan Guru MI. Vol. 7 No. October 2020 Wida Rachmiati.

Utilization of Literature Based Math in Developing Didactic DesignsA CONCLUSION The utilization of Literature-based math . in mathematical learning of decimal fraction concept is necessary because it can help reduce to the learning barriers experienced by elementary school students in the aspect of understanding decimal fractional In addition, learning by utilizing storybooks can also bring out more interesting, meaningful and multi-directional learning interactions between students-teachers, students and learning resources. The didactical design developed by research was made for two meetings and experienced a one-time revision. The final outcome of the study is a general learning step that can be done by utilizing the storybook as a learning resource. Recommendations from this research can be utilized by students, teachers, or lecturers to implement effective mathematical learning methods and techniques on the concept of decimal fractions by using storybooks as learning resources.
