Abstract

The Student Worksheet (LKS) is a part of the learning tool that functions to support the implementation of the lesson plan. The LKS that designed and used in learning aims to help the students to develop concepts, train the students to discover and develop process skills, guide the teachers and the students in carrying out the learning process, and help the students to obtain information about concepts learned through a systematic learning process. The purpose of this research is to produce a mathematics learning tool using contextual approach based on learning style that is valid, practical and effective. This research is a developmental research that uses Ploomp model consisting of 3 stages; preliminary, prototyping, and assessment. The developed LKS is validated by an expert in content, language, and media construction. Then, the LKS is tested to see its practicality and effectiveness. The LKS practicality is seen from the observation of learning implementation, questionnaire of the student and teacher response, while the effectiveness is seen from observation of the student activities and the students’ learning outcome. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that learning tools using contextual approaches based on learning styles developed have met the valid criteria of content and constructs with characteristics close to the student's daily life, in accordance with standard punctuation, and attractive colors. The learning tools are practical with good characteristics in terms of implementation, ease and time required. They have also been effective in improving student activity and learning outcomes. The use of this device makes the students learn actively, this is seen from the student activities. The students’ passing grade reaches 80,24% which means the tools are effective in improving the student learning outcomes. Based on the result of the research, it is concluded that the contextual learning tool using learning style based approach have been valid, practical and effective.
