Cognitive Load Theory Mathematical Resilience in a Variable Examples-Based Learning

Barep Yohanes, Dzurotul Mutimmah

Abstract


Abstract: Cognitive load theory is an instructional design theory which emphasizes the limited nature of working memorys capacity to process information. Germane cognitive load supports learning in which students do continuous efforts in understanding learning materials. Continuous efforts to get the desired results are called resilience. The fact is that prospective Mathematics teachers have limited interest in understanding difficult material while interest is very closely related to resilience. This limited interest results in less optimal efforts. This research is a qualitative descriptive study which aims at describing aspects of resilience in Germane cognitive load-based learning by using variable examples. The findings showed that the stages of learning based on cognitive load with variable examples were giving orientation to the learning material, organizing the variable examples, giving assistance to the work completion, presenting the results, and evaluating. As conclusion, aspects of resilience that appear in cognitive load-based learning are perseverance, adaptiveness, creativity, self-motivation, curiosity, and self-control.

 

Keywords: cognitive load, resilience, variable examples-based learning.

 

Abstrak: Teori beban kognitif merupakan teori pembelajaran yang menekankan pada sifat terbatasnya kemampuan memori kerja dalam pemrosesan informasi. Beban kognitif germane merupakan salah satu yang mendukung dalam pembelajaran sehingga peserta didik memiliki usaha yang terus menerus dalam memahami materi. Usaha yang terus menerus dilakukan sampai mendapatkan hasil yang diinginkan disebut resiliensi. Permasalahan yang terjadi adalah calon guru matematika memiliki minat yang terbatas dalam memahami materi yang sulit. Minat sangat berhubungan erat dengan resiliensi. Minat yang terbatas ini mengakibatkan usaha yang dilakukan calon guru matematika kurang maksimal dalam memahami materi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dengan tujuan untuk mendeskripsikan aspek resiliensi dalam pembelajaran berbasis beban kognitif Germane dengan menggunakan variable examples. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tahapan pembelajaran berbasis beban kognitif dengan variable exemples adalah orientasi pada materi, mengorganisasi untuk variable exemples, membimbing pengerjaan, menyajikan hasil, dan mengevaluasi. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah aspek resiliensi yang muncul dalam pembelajaran berbasis beban kognitif adalah aspek ketekunan, daya adaptasi, kreativitas, motivasi diri, rasa keingintahuan, dan kontrol diri.   

 

Kata kunci: beban kognitif, resiliensi, pembelajaran berbasis contoh variable.
