Designing and Implementing Interactive Digital Module: Innovation for a Technology-Enable Mathematics Literacy in Calculating Heat Transfer

Abstract

Various technology-based products have emerged as an impact of advances in technology reform. Although much research has been conducted to study technology-based products, few studies have developed innovation of interactive module and how these discussions support or hinder a technology-enable mathematics literacy, especially in calculating heat transfer. This research is aimed to design and implement interactive digital module of fractions to fostering a technology-enable mathematics literacy. This research employed design-based research (DBR) to obtain an overview regarding to design and implement the interactive digital module. The subjects of this research were students, teachers, and experts. The results revealed that the interactive digital module was designed and developed using Flipbook design. The contents covered how to do fraction operations completed with materials of fractions, student worksheets, exercise of mathematics literacy tests, interactive videos, and evaluations related to the need of students. The interactive and user-friendly design empower students to explore fractions and relation to the mathematics literacy. According to the validation by experts, the interactive digital module was quite effective in Flipbook design for students. For the implementation, the interactive digital module of fractions can enhance mathematics literacy of students. This research has implications for using interactive digital module as an innovation to improve student’s mathematics literacy of fractions.
