Abstract

This article explains about the development of Google Sites web learning media based on a contextual approach integrated with Islamic values in mathematics material for junior high school or Islamic junior high school (MTs), including number patterns, circles, statistics, the Pythagorean theorem, and building flat-sided spaces, which can facilitate students’ learning. The product developed was tested in Islamic junior high schools or Islamic junior high school (MTs) in the Riau Province regencies, including Pekanbaru, Kampar and Indragiri Hilir, with the schools that have internet access. The research material for the Pekanbaru area is on Circles and Flat-sided Space Buildings, the Kampar area is on Statistics and the Pythagorean Theorem, and the Indragiri Hilir area is on Number Patterns. The data collection techniques used questionnaires and posttest questions with data types in the form of quantitative data and qualitative data. Based on data analysis from the learning media developed for the five materials above, it shows that the Google Sites web learning media based on a contextual approach integrated with Islamic values is in the valid, practical and effective category, where each material tested has an average posttest score for the experimental class which is higher than the average posttest score of the control class.
