Needs Analysis for Developing Interactive Learning Resources Assisted by Geogebra Through The Spada Unismuh Learning Management System to Improve Students' Mathematical Visualization Skills

Keywords: Interactive learning resources, Geogebra, Learning management System SPADA, Mathematical Visualization Skills

Abstract

Purpose of the Study:

This study aims to analyze the need for developing GeoGebra-assisted interactive learning resources integrated into the SPADA Unismuh Learning Management System to improve students' mathematical visualization skills.

Methodology:
The study involved 29 lecturers from the Mathematics Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar. A questionnaire was used to gather data on student needs regarding GeoGebra-based learning resources in SPADA LMS. Data analysis was quantitative using descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis for suggestions.

Main Findings:

The study revealed that 83% of lecturers emphasized the importance of developing GeoGebra-assisted learning resources in LMS SPADA to improve understanding of abstract mathematical concepts. Most lecturers were familiar with SPADA LMS, but the use of features for mathematical visualization was limited.

Novelty/Originality of this Study:

This study highlights the potential of integrating GeoGebra into LMS SPADA to enhance mathematical learning through interactive visual representations. It advances knowledge by proposing an innovative approach to improve mathematical visualization, helping students better understand abstract concepts.
