Abstract
Penggunaan media manipulatif dalam pembelajaran matematika dapat membantu menjembatani konsep abstrak dengan pengalaman belajar yang konkret. Namun, kebermaknaan penggunaan media tidak hanya ditentukan oleh bentuk dan daya tariknya, tetapi juga oleh kemampuan calon guru dalam menghubungkan media dengan konsep matematika, aktivitas pembelajaran, kebutuhan peserta didik, serta peluang pengembangannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis dan mendeskripsikan pemahaman mahasiswa calon guru matematika dalam menilai dan memanfaatkan media pembelajaran manipulatif serta mengidentifikasi pertimbangan yang digunakan dalam mengevaluasi dan mengembangkan media tersebut. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain analisis dokumen. Sumber data berupa 39 dokumen jawaban mahasiswa pada mata kuliah Media Pembelajaran Manipulatif yang diperoleh melalui tugas pengamatan dan analisis media pada kanal YouTube Technoparkmath. Data dikumpulkan melalui lima pertanyaan yang mencakup identifikasi media, konsep matematika, pemanfaatan, evaluasi, dan rekomendasi. Analisis dilakukan secara tematik melalui tahap familiarisasi data, pemberian kode, pengelompokan kode, identifikasi tema, dan interpretasi menggunakan lima kategori, yaitu Identifikasi Media (IM), Konsep Matematika (KM), Pemanfaatan Media (PM), Evaluasi Media (EM), dan Rekomendasi Media (RM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa tidak hanya mengenali karakteristik dan komponen media, tetapi juga mampu mengaitkannya dengan konsep matematika, aktivitas belajar, manfaat, keterbatasan, kondisi penggunaan, serta gagasan adaptasi dan pengembangan. Integrasi unsur fisik dan digital juga muncul sebagai alternatif untuk memperluas representasi dan mengatasi keterbatasan media. Temuan ini berimplikasi pada perlunya aktivitas pembelajaran calon guru yang mendorong analisis media secara sistematis dari aspek konseptual, pedagogis, praktis, dan pengembangan. Penelitian selanjutnya perlu melengkapi analisis dokumen dengan observasi praktik, wawancara, atau penilaian produk untuk memperoleh gambaran kompetensi yang lebih komprehensif.
