Needs Analysis Development of Applied Mathematical Blended Learning Models Using Schoology LMS.

The purpose of this study to describe the need for developing LMS-based blended learning models of applied mathematics using Schoology, and 2) to obtain a draft LMS-based blended learning model using Schoology. The development used the Thiagarajan 4-D model, and Semmel in 1974 with several modifications, namely: 1) Define, 2) Design, 3) Develop, dan 4) Disseminate. Currently the development stages 1 and 2 and part of stage 3 are being implemented. The implementation is in the engineering of the Bali State Polytechnic (BSP). Data was collected using survey methods, and questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the analysis get: 1) student attitudes toward mathematics are very positive, learning interests are moderate, 2) learning motivation is high; 4) learning independence is high. Characteristics of the blended learning model: based on constructivism learning theory, using synchronous blended learning format, applying problem-based learning (PBL), using LMS schoology, supported by multi-media learning media such as video and audio learning media. Variation in the number of face-to-face and online time in semester, 50% face-to-face and 50% through e-learning. The evaluation is process and results with a performance assessment approach based on a portofolio and self assessment. An average expert assessment of 36.8 (valid) is feasible to use with several minor revisions.
