LEARNING VECTOR ANALYSIS WITH COMPUTER ALGEBRAIC SYSTEM (CAS) USING SCILAB AT THE MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF JEMBER

Nurul Imamah, Zulfa Anggraini R

Abstract


The ability to solve problems is the heart of mathematics, visualization is the core of mathematical
problem solving. Visualization is the ability to see and understand the situation of the problem.
Basically, students in need of interesting and innovative learning, therefore this research tries to
makes learning interesting and innovative with the linking of learning with learning model analysis
Vector Computer Algebraic System (CAS) using Scilab programming. Learning aims to maximize
learning student. This course is given to Mathematics Education at the University of Muhammadiyah
Jember sixth semester. This research is a development research, because in this study developed a
learning tool Vector Analysis learning model Co mputer Algebraic System (CAS) using scilab. The
results of us researches show that VIA semester students of the University of Muhammadiyah
Jember able to receive learning vector analysis to go through three stages, namely CAS surprises,
clarifications, and investigation by a computerized scilab program. While the results of the
validation of SAP including both categories, validation modules included both categories, results of
the validation test is good category, which means that learning is said to be effective, it shows that
learning device Analysis Vectors learning model CAS using the program scilab can be categorized
as a good device.
Keywords: CAS (Computer Algebraic System), Scilab, Vector Analysis
