Playing While Learning in Elementary School : Applications of The Moving Twin Game in Mathematics

Abstract

The competence that exists in an educator is dynamic which means that it also develops in accordance with advances in science and technology. Educators are required to always be creative as well as innovative in the learning activities they manage. Policies in Indonesia made by the government aim for educators to be able to increase the potential in themselves both in pedagogical competence, personality, social activities, and professional competence. The problem found in the field is that teachers do not have a deep understanding of the importance of learning models in teaching and learning activities in the classroom. Therefore, the learning atmosphere is often monotonous and students are not co-operative. Renewal in learning needs to be done so that learning objectives are achieved. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of learning while playing Moving Twin in mathematics. The research was conducted in one of the schools in Sidoarjo Regency.
