Improve Basic Mathematics Skill of Addition in The Range of 1000 Using HOMIE Technique for Aboriginal Students and Special Education Students

Abstract

This study was conducted to improve the basic math skills of addition in the range of 1000 faced by the students of Special Integrated Education (PPKI). A total of two Aboriginal students from Jasmine’s Class and two students from Lavender’s Class were involved in this study. The initial survey was carried out through the results of classroom-based reporting (PBD) and observation and writing in basic mathematics exercises. The results of the survey show that the percentage of assessment reporting did not reach the KPI of 90% of learning objectives as targeted. Action planning is focused on the HOMIE Technique in creating fun for students and further increasing the percentage of mastery of basic math skills for addition operations. Students were exposed to the House of Nomie Technique (HOMIE) to help students master the skill of adding numbers in the range of 1000. The data collected in this study used the method of observation, document analysis and interviews which were analysed descriptively. The findings of the study revealed that the activities that have been planned in this study have helped teachers in improving teaching and learning practices in the classroom which previously often caused difficulties for teachers to effectively convey the content of lessons to students. This study can also help educator to understand the implementation process of action research as a whole and show that students have more fun and understand using by the HOMIE Technique in calculating and solving basic math problems.
