PERAN E-LKPD DALAM MODEL DISCOVERY LEARNING TERHADAP REPRESENTASI MATEMATIS SISWA: STUDI LITERATUR

Abstract

Mathematical representation ability still tends to be low in mathematics learning because instructional practices are more oriented toward procedural completion than conceptual understanding. This condition causes students to experience difficulties in expressing mathematical concepts into visual, symbolic, verbal, and diagrammatic forms systematically. The use of Electronic Student Worksheets (E-LKPD) within the Discovery Learning model is considered capable of facilitating the exploration and discovery of mathematical concepts in a more structured manner. This study aimed to analyze the role of E-LKPD in the Discovery Learning model toward students’ mathematical representation ability based on a literature study. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach was employed by analyzing 17 scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025 obtained from Google Scholar, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Data analysis was conducted using content analysis to identify research patterns, tendencies, and major themes. The findings indicated that E-LKPD within the Discovery Learning model contributed to the reinforcement of visual, symbolic, verbal, and diagrammatic representations through structured and interactive exploratory activities. The major themes identified included the strengthening of mathematical representation through interactive E-LKPD features, support for mathematical exploration and concept discovery, and increased student engagement in mathematics learning. Furthermore, the effectiveness of E-LKPD was influenced by media design quality, clarity of instructional syntax, and the suitability of learning activities with conceptual objectives in mathematics learning. Therefore, E-LKPD in the Discovery Learning model can be understood as a learning medium that supports the development of students’ mathematical representation ability in a more systematic and constructive manner.
