Description
Summary:Teacher competence test is one way of measuring teachers' ability in pedagogic and content knowledge. The result of the competency test shows the low category because of teachers' difficulty in understanding and teaching several topics of mathematics. The purpose of this study was to develop six mathematics-training modules concerning the content knowledge of mathematics teachers satisfying the valid and practical criteria. This research employed the research and development approach of Borg and Gall model in ten phases. However, the development in this research was conducted only up to the eighth phase. The results showed that six mathematics-training modules satisfied the valid and practice criteria. The validity was indicated by the conformity of the materials and concepts for mathematics with teachers' problems, and the curriculum. The practical criteria were based on the conformity of the implementation of the training modules designed; the efficiency, usefulness, and attractiveness as the modules were designed into several different parts included the instructions and estimation time; and the legibility and the easy to use aspects.
