Abstract

Exam-oriented teaching makes students feel that mathematics is tedious and difficult. STEM knowledge among teachers is also quite limited due to a lack of exposure and training. Social problems moral decay among teenagers and school children are worrying. This will have a significant impact on unity, harmony, and the education system in the future. However, it is hoped that the basic model of teaching based on moral values ​​in STEM Mathematics subjects can overcome this problem. This is also in line with the aspirations of the National Education Philosophy, Teacher Education Philosophy, SBELC Mathematics Goals for primary schools. This study focuses on designing a basic model of teaching based on moral values ​​using FDM to produce a balanced human capital referring to a combination of Islamic and western models, namely the model of Al-Ghazali, Ibn Miskawaih, and Model 5E. The objective of this study was to obtain experts’ consensus in determining validation of the moral values elements in the basic model of Mathematics and STEM teaching at the primary school level. This study is quantitative using the survey method. A questionnaire was given to 29 experts in Mathematics education, moral values, STEM, model development and education. After the validation process, all data were collected and analysed using the Fuzzy Delphi Method. The results of the study showed that based on experts’ consensus, out of 50 elements, 38 elements of moral values ​​were accepted, and 12 elements were rejected when the three main conditions were met, namely the threshold value d is equal to or less than 0.2, the percentage of expert agreement is the same or more than 75%, and the Defuzzification value (alpha cut) α is equal to or greater than 0.5. These findings indicated that 32 value-moral elements are indispensable in the basic teaching model in primary schools in STEM Mathematics subject based on experts’ consensus. The study of the design of this model is expected to produce students who excel academically, especially in the matter of Mathematics, have STEM skills, and have good morals, personality, character holistically. Teachers should teach Mathematics based on moral values ​​to practice moral values, be more active in learning, love Mathematics, have a mathematical mind, see the beauty of mathematics, and apply mathematical knowledge and skills and moral values ​​in daily life.
