Persepsi Mahasiswa terhadap Visualisasi Materi Matematika melalui Papan Tulis Digital (Canva) dan Konvensional

Abstract

This study aims to describe the perceptions of mathematics education students regarding the use of the Canva whiteboard and a conventional whiteboard in mathematics learning. This research is driven by the necessity to employ digital media in remote learning and limited classroom space, as well as the goal to evaluate the effectiveness of digital media compared to conventional methods. There were 29 participants, 13 males and 16 females, all from the 2^nd, 4^th and 6^th semesters. The subjects were selected using a total sampling technique, involving all active students of the Mathematics Education Study Program at STKIP Tanjungpura in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The quantitative descriptive approach with within-subjects design was used since all respondents participated in learning with both media. The instrument was a 15-item Likert scale questionnaire covering seven indicators: clarity of explanation, visualization of abstract concepts, focus and concentration, interaction and discussion, ease of note-taking, re-access of materials, and overall understanding. Analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and paired t-test. The findings indicated that Canva whiteboard was significantly superior in re-access materials as well as ease of note-taking, while the conventional whiteboard was significantly superior in interaction and discussion. Other indicators did not show significant differences. These findings suggest the implementation of a blended media approach, specifically combining Canva and conventional to strengthen visualization and accessibility.
