Abstract

Mathematics learning should be tailored to the students^ needs and characteristics, along with the school regulation. Based on the need assessment conducted through algebra learning observations and interviews with principal and mathematics teacher in one of the private junior high schools in Sleman, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta revealed that the integration of technology (specifically iPads) still encounters several challenges. In this article, the researcher proposes an instructional design development model in learning algebra aligned with the framework of Universal Design of Learning (UDL), considering three principles: multiple means of engagement, multiple means of representation, and multiple means of strategic action and expression. The instructional design is formulated to provide a systematic instructional design for teaching algebra, incorporating varied instructional contents of mathematics curriculum and to illustrate a construction process of the model. It is hoped that the proposed instructional design can be validated and implemented in the similar characteristics of mathematics classroom that use iPad as a handheld technology, with the aims to enhance the quality of algebra learning.
