Last modified: 2025-03-18
Abstract
Monotonous learning routines, the lack of learning resources that cater to students' learning styles, and the abstract nature of mathematical concepts contribute to low mathematics learning outcomes. This study aims to identify the need for developing learning modules that accommodate students' diverse learning styles and incorporate contextual examples of mathematical concepts and STEAM cross-disciplinary sciences in real-life situations. The study involved 11 teachers and 120 students from Madrasah Aliyah in Enrekang Regency. The data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The needs analysis revealed that existing learning resources provided by teachers did not accommodate students' varied learning styles. Teachers primarily used student worksheets, which lacked contextual examples of mathematical applications and interdisciplinary STEAM integration. Additionally, technology was underutilized as a differentiation tool, despite the availability of adequate learning environments and resources to support its integration. These findings highlight the urgent need for learning modules that are tailored to students' learning styles and integrated with STEAM to enhance mathematics learning outcomes.
