Abstract

This study aims to enhance the ability of Madrasah Aliyah mathematics teachers to develop Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions through training and mentoring. This research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design involving 20 mathematics teachers. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using thematic and descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that teachers' understanding of HOTS principles, reasoning levels, and question formulation steps after participating in the training significantly improved, with an average increase of 55–70% across key indicators. However, some teachers still struggled to integrate real-world contexts into the HOTS questions they developed. These findings highlight the importance of continuous professional development programs to strengthen teachers' competency in designing HOTS-based assessments. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impact of this training on student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze student satisfaction with instructors' performance in Electrochemical Analysis Practice at AKA Bogor Polytechnic. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data was collected through a questionnaire based on the Likert scale, which was distributed to 23 students who had completed the course. Data analysis is carried out descriptively with frequency and percentage calculations, then converted into qualitative information. The study results showed that the overall level of student satisfaction was in the "good" category, with an average of 72.24%. The aspect of professionalism obtained the highest score (73.62%), while the aspect of practice implementation had the lowest score (69.56%). These results show that even though students are satisfied, there is room for improvement, especially in implementing practice. The main recommendations are developing technology-based teaching materials, improving laboratory equipment, and providing more comprehensive practical tutorials. This finding is expected to improve the quality of electrochemistry practicum learning.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and assess the quality of an Augmented Reality-Integrated Student Worksheet (LKPD) to enhance seventh-grade students' mathematics learning outcomes in spatial geometry. The research follows the Plomp development model, consisting of four phases: preliminary investigation, design, realization, and test-evaluation-revision. The LKPD was validated by three experts, including two mathematics education specialists and one instructional design expert. Practicality tests were conducted with one mathematics teacher and 31 students from SMP Negeri 16 Cirebon. The validation results indicate that the LKPD is highly valid, with a content validity score of 87.56% and a design validity score of 87.22%. Practicality tests showed positive responses from teachers (80%) and students (72.30% in small groups and 77.64% in field trials). Based on pre-test and post-test results, effectiveness testing yielded an N-Gain score of 0.58, categorized as moderate effectiveness. These findings suggest that the Augmented Reality-Integrated LKPD is a feasible and effective learning tool for mathematics education. However, limitations include compatibility issues with Android versions above 10 and dependency on coloured markers for AR recognition. Future research should focus on improving AR functionality for broader accessibility.

Abstract

The Kasepuhan Cirebon Palace is one of the historical sites that still stand in Cirebon City and reflect the local community's cultural heritage, including ethnomathematical practices embedded in daily life. This study aims to analyse the ethnomathematical aspects of the Kasepuhan Palace as a source of contextual mathematics learning. This qualitative research employed an ethnographic approach and was conducted in the Pekalipan area of Cirebon City. The data were collected from a building complex (Keraton Kasepuhan), and one informant was selected based on their role as cultural custodians (Abdi Dalem). Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings suggest that the architectural structure, floor patterns, and carved ornaments of the Kasepuhan Palace incorporate various mathematical concepts, including geometry, angles, symmetry, and measurement. These concepts appear in the spatial layout, pillar arrangement, and shapes such as rectangles, triangles, cuboids, limas, and tubes. The study suggests that incorporating the ethnomathematical elements of the Kasepuhan Palace into mathematics learning can enhance students’ understanding of geometric concepts while fostering their appreciation for local cultural wisdom. However, this study is limited to one palace complex and a small number of informants; future research could expand to other historical sites or compare multiple palaces to enrich the ethnomathematical analysis.
