Development of Electronic Learning Tools to Improve the Quality of Elementary Linear Algebra Course

The focus of the research is to develop a constructivist electronic teaching aids for Elementary Linear Algebra. The teaching aid is useful for learning using ACE cycle that consists of three components: activities, classroom discussion, and exercises. Developmental research design is choose for developing electronic teaching aids and for implementing the teaching aid, the experimental research design is selected. The research is conducted in two years focussing on producing valid, practical, and effective electronic teaching aids. The research activities are divided into two phases. Phase one aim at producing a valid prototype of teaching aids. For this purpose, need assessment, curriculum analysis, review of related literature, and designing the prototype of the teaching aids where done. The designed prototype was validated by two qualified Elementary Linear Algebra reviewers. The finding showed that the designed prototype fulfilled the criteria of content and construct validity. Phase two of the research was conducted at Mathematics Department of Universitas Negeri Padang. The aim of the second phase is to see the effectiveness of the designed prototype.
