Abstract

This study aims to analyze the needs for a Differential Calculus teaching module that supports independent learning among students in the Mathematics Education Study Program at FMIPA UNM Makassar. In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, independent learning is essential for developing creative thinking, problem-solving skills, and adaptability to technological change. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study collected data through diagnostic tests, classroom observations, questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis of existing teaching materials. The findings reveal that students expect a teaching module that not only presents theoretical content but also includes real-life applications, visual simulations, and contextual examples to facilitate understanding of abstract mathematical concepts such as derivatives. Students also prefer materials that use simple and structured language, step-by-step examples, topic summaries, and practice questions with immediate feedback. Furthermore, students highly value digital and interactive formats that can be accessed via mobile devices, supporting flexible and autonomous learning. This study highlights the importance of developing need-based teaching modules that are student-centered, visually engaging, and technologically integrated. Such modules are expected to enhance independent learning, improve student motivation, and deepen conceptual understanding of differential calculus. The results also provide a foundation for designing similar learning resources for other abstract and complex courses in mathematics education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' mathematical connection skills based on self-regulated learning in solving math problems in the Two-Variable Linear Equation System material. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. The subjects in this study were class VIII MTs Negeri 1 Makassar City consists of two students for each level of high, medium, and low self-regulated learning. The research instrument used consisted of the main instrument, namely the researchers, and also the supporting instruments, namely a self-regulated learning questionnaire, a mathematical connection ability test, and an interview guide. The results showed that: (1) subjects who had high self-regulated learning met three indicators of mathematical connection, namely being able to recognize and use ideas in mathematics and understand the interrelationships of these ideas, and being able to recognize and apply mathematics in contexts in other fields of study. And able to relate mathematics in daily life. (2) subjects who have moderate self-regulated learning only meet two indicators of mathematical connections, namely being able to recognize and use ideas in mathematics and understand the interrelationships of these ideas, and being able to recognize and apply mathematics in the context of daily life. (3) Subjects who have low self-regulated learning, namely subjects R1 and R2 were unable to fulfill the three indicators of mathematical connection. Subject R1 was only able to fulfill one indicator of mathematical connection, while subject R2 did not fulfill any indicator of mathematical connection.
