Content Analysis and Continuity of the Time and Time Topics in National Primary School (SK) Mathematics Textbooks Year 1 to Year 6

Analisis Kandungan dan Kesinambungan Topik Masa dan Waktu dalam Buku Teks Matematik Sekolah Rendah Kebangsaan (SK) Tahun 1 hingga Tahun 6

Abstract

Textbooks are materials that have important benefits in the implementation of the teaching and facilitation process (PdPc). Previous studies have found that textbooks are used as a medium and the main guide in the teaching process by teachers as well as the main reference in learning by students. Therefore, the content of quality textbooks is important to create a quality education system and human capital. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the content of the topic Time and Time as well as the continuity of the topic in Mathematics Textbooks Year 1 to Year 6 of the National School (SK). This survey-type study is carried out quantitatively. The results of the study show that the Year 1 to Year 6 Mathematics Textbook has a total of 546 questions including sample questions and exercises. There are two aspects that are studied, namely the mathematical aspect that refers to the calculation of solution steps and the contextual aspect that focuses on the method of presenting examples and exercises. This study has also analyzed the continuity of the topic from Year 1 to Year 6. The findings show that the content of the topic from Year 1 to Year 5 has a more significant continuity because the Year 6 topic introduces a new topic which is time zone. The findings of this study are expected to provide extensive and clear knowledge to teachers and readers about the content of the topic of time and time in the National School Mathematics Textbook. At the same time, research can also be used as a guide in planning the teaching and learning process. The suggestion for further research is to carry out an analysis of the level of questions for this topic so that high-level thinking skills for this topic can be mastered by the students.
