PRAXEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF 8th GRADE MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOK

Abstract

Based on research, students still have difficulty learning the data centralization material. One way to overcome this is to pay attention to the textbooks that used in the learning process. Yves Chevallard's praxeology theory can be used to analyze the textbooks. So, this study aims to analyze data centralization material in 8th grade textbooks published by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology based on praxeology. This study is a qualitative study with a anthropological theory of the didactic approach, especially praxeology which consists of two components, namely praxis and logos. Praxis consists of tasks (Τ) and techniques (τ), while logos consists of technology (θ) and theory (Θ). Based on the results of analysis, the causes of ontogenic and didactic obstacles were identified in Task 1, the causes of epistemological obstacles were identified in Task 2, and the causes of didactic and epistemological obstacles were identified in Tasks 3 and 4.
