Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a professional development program for teachers in a hybrid setting that is focused on MathCityMap to improve outdoor mathematics education across a wide variety of school settings in Indonesia. Research on design was carried out in three stages: the designing stage, the small-scale field experiment stage, and the large-scale field experiment stage. The findings of the initial phase are presented in this paper. The findings suggested that an effective model for the structure of the MathCityMap Teacher Training Program in a Hybrid Setting for Indonesian Teachers has been designed. The educators participate in online training asynchronously using a Learning Management System (LMS) as well as synchronously through video meetings. After that, they attend training sessions in person, both indoors and outdoors, to put the concepts that they learned during the online session into practice. The teachers are tasked with developing math trail activities in their respective regions as a follow-up to the training. This program made available appropriate learning opportunities and equal access to a diverse student population in Indonesia, both in terms of their geographic location and the sociocultural context in which they were raised. The developed principles are capable of being implemented in other places, allowing for the development of distance education in other countries.
