Model Pembelajaran Struktur Aljabar I Menggunakan Software ISETL

Abstract

Algebra structure is an abstract subject; therefore, it is difficult because it contains abstraction of mathematical models. This research attempted to use computer-based learning for the subject, with a consideration that students like the use of computer as media for learning. ISETL software was used as media for computer-based learning. Using the software, students could see and practised definition of groups and their characteristics, namely: integers, module n of integers, how to determine congruence of module n of integers, closeness characteristic of an operation (biner operation), associative characteristic, commutative characteristic, identity element, and inversion of group element. Knowing the characteristics of group, the student could easily understand the group.
