Developing Web-Based Module as a Scaffold to Enhance Students' Numeracy

Numeracy is a critical part of 21st‑century skills. However, students lack numeracy skills after graduating from secondary school to cope with the standards of both private and work lives. It is important to integrate numeracy in learning. Therefore, scaffolding on each numeracy process indicator must be implemented in order to improve students’ numeracy skills. However, it is challenging to provide each student sufficient one-on-one scaffolding. Computer-based scaffolds, in the form of e-modules, with a sensitive and gradual support adaptation become a solution. Since no modules with scaffolds have ever been developed to enhance student's numeracy, this research aims to develop a valid, practical, and effective web-based module of counting rules as a scaffold to enhance students’ numeracy through the PBL model. This study was developmental research using Branch's ADDIE model which consists of five stages: (1) analyze, (2) design, (3) develop, (4) implement, and (5) evaluate.
