Abstract

Despite growing interest in digital learning modules for mathematics instruction, few studies have examined how integrating realistic mathematics education and problem-based learning within a single e-module shapes students' learning interest and achievement, particularly in data processing. While realistic mathematics education grounds abstract concepts in contextual problems and problem-based learning strengthens engagement through authentic tasks, empirical evidence on their combined effect within a digital format remains scarce. This study examined the effect of learning interest on mathematics achievement among fifth-grade students learning through such an e-module. A quantitative correlational design was employed with 26 fifth-grade participants. Data were collected via a learning interest questionnaire and a mathematics achievement test, then analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, linearity test, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. Results showed a positive, statistically significant effect of learning interest on achievement (p < 0.01), with learning interest explaining 27.9% of the variance, while other factors likely accounted for the remainder. These findings suggest that integrating realistic mathematics education with problem-based learning in a digital module can foster learning interest and improve mathematics achievement, offering practical implications for designing contextual, problem-oriented digital learning materials.

Abstract

The increasing accumulation of industrial waste, particularly used cement sacks that are difficult to decompose naturally, has become a significant and pressing environmental problem. The traditional art of Wayang Beber, as a national cultural heritage, also faces a slow but real threat of degradation, due to the decreasing relevance of its conventional presentation medium among the younger generation. This study aims to explore the potential of used cement sacks as an alternative medium for Wayang Beber paintings, while also evaluating their contribution to the reduction of non-organic waste and the revitalization of traditional art. This study uses a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) model, which was implemented in two locations: SDN Widoro and MI Guppi Widoro. The experimental results show that the physical characteristics of cement sacks, including their absorbency and distinctive surface texture, present a new aesthetic dimension that enriches the visual expression of Wayang Beber. Utilization of this material also significantly contributes to the reduction of industrial waste, in line with the principles of sustainable development. The positive response from the community, especially the younger generation, indicates that a recycling-based approach can increase the appeal of traditional art without sacrificing its cultural authenticity. For the sustainability value, this activity is carried out periodically with further development of batik motifs.
