The Development Of Mathematics Learning Based On Double-Loop Learning: Preparing Independent And Dignified Learners

Abstract

In general, this study aims to develop a model of mathematics learning management based on double-loop learning that effectively increases learning output. The specific objectives of this study are to describe (1) the conditions of mathematics learning at the research site, (2) mathematics learning based on double-loop learning, and (3) preparation of independent and dignified learners. This study is a research and development with ethnographic qualitative design. The research subjects included mathematics teachers, school principals, and students of SMP (Junior High School) in Sukoharjo district. This study employed observation, interview, and documentation as the data collection method. Flow model qualitative analysis was then used as the data analysis technique. The results of the study: (1) Mathematics learning at the research site tends to be directed to make students think simple. Mathematics learning conditions at the research site occurred in the paradigm of “the teacher explains-the students listen.” (2) Mathematics learning based on double-loop learning in the paradigm of “active learners construct meaning-the teacher as a facilitator.” The mindset is a change in reflection and action. The management model went through three stages with five conditions. (3) Preparing independent and dignified learners based on strong religious value, core character, lifestyle character, character to respect others, and have intelligent, creative, and entrepreneurial potential.
