Pendampingan Pembuatan dan Pemanfaatan Alat Peraga Geometri di SDN Kesambi Dalam 3 Cirebon

Abstract

Geometry is often perceived as abstract by elementary school students, while the use of teaching aids in schools remains limited. This community service program aimed to assist the creation and use of geometry teaching aids at SDN Kesambi Dalam 3 Cirebon. The activity was carried out using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach in three stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation with follow-up. Participants included lecturers and students of the Mathematics Education Program of UIN Siber Syekh Nurjati Cirebon, the principal, teachers, and fourth-grade students. The implementation consisted of discussion, design and construction, and classroom trials of ten geometry teaching aids. Evaluation used a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire completed by 19 respondents (the principal and teachers) and was analyzed descriptively using answer frequencies, percentages, and the percentage of the total score relative to the maximum score. The program produced ten geometry teaching aids. The average questionnaire scores were 93% for the implementation, 92% for the quality of the teaching aids, and 94% for their benefits, all categorized as “very good”. These results indicate that the principal and teachers perceived the program very positively; its effect on teachers’ competence and students’ learning outcomes was not measured and needs further study.
