Abstract :

Numeracy is one of the essential competencies that students need to solve mathematical problems in real-life situations. However, many junior high school students still experience difficulties in applying mathematical concepts to contextual problems because classroom instruction is predominantly teacher-centered and less connected to authentic learning experiences. Therefore, innovative learning devices integrating the Outdoor Learning Mathematics Project (OLMP) model are needed to promote meaningful learning and improve students’ numeracy skills. This study aimed to develop OLMP-based learning devices on Social Arithmetic material that are valid, practical, and effective in improving junior high school students’ numeracy skills. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the modified Four-D (4D) model consisting of the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. The developed products included teaching modules, student worksheets (LKPD), numeracy test instruments, and a teacher guidebook. The subjects consisted of Grade VII students of SMP Argopuro Panti, Jember. Data were collected through expert validation, classroom observations, questionnaires, interviews, and pretest–posttest numeracy tests. Data analysis included validity, practicality, effectiveness, N-Gain, normality, and independent sample t-test analyses. The developed learning devices achieved a validity score above 3.75 (very valid), a practicality level of 96.5%, and positive responses from students (97%). Students’ learning activities reached 92%, while classical numeracy mastery achieved 86%. Furthermore, the independent sample t-test revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05), indicating that the OLMP model significantly improved students’ numeracy skills. The OLMP-based learning devices are valid, practical, and effective for mathematics instruction on Social Arithmetic and significantly enhance junior high school students’ numeracy skills through authentic outdoor learning experiences.
