Abstract

The need for innovative approaches in mathematics learning has become increasingly urgent to address the challenges of conceptual understanding and foster sustainable learning interest among students. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the educational video game "Corner" in enhancing students' mathematical conceptual understanding and strengthening their interest in learning mathematics. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a Non-equivalent (Pre-test and Post-test) Control Group Design. The instruments used included a mathematical conceptual understanding test and a mathematics learning interest questionnaire. Data were analyzed using independent sample t-tests and paired sample t-tests to compare the results between the experimental and control groups. The findings revealed that the use of the educational game "Corner" significantly improved students' mathematical conceptual understanding. Additionally, there was an increase in students' interest in learning mathematics, as indicated by significant differences between the pre-test and post-test results in the experimental group compared to the control group. These findings suggest that game-based educational media is not only effective in helping students grasp mathematical concepts but also motivates them to become more active and enthusiastic in learning mathematics. Therefore, the use of game-based learning media such as "Corner" can be adopted by educators as an effective strategy to improve the quality of mathematics education in schools.

Abstract

This study explores the role of neuroscience in addressing dyscalculia and enhancing mathematics education for students with this learning difficulty. The research synthesizes recent findings on the neural mechanisms underlying dyscalculia, focusing on abnormalities in the intraparietal sulcus and prefrontal cortex, which are critical for numerical processing and working memory. Evidence-based strategies, such as multisensory teaching methods and adaptive technologies, were analyzed for their effectiveness in supporting mathematical learning. Advanced neuroimaging techniques like fMRI and EEG were highlighted as tools to monitor real-time brain activity, enabling personalized interventions. The results emphasize the need for tailored approaches that address individual cognitive profiles, as traditional one-size-fits-all methods often fall short. Despite the promise of neuroscience-informed practices, challenges remain in translating these insights into accessible classroom tools due to high costs and limited teacher training. The study concludes that integrating neuroscience into education offers transformative potential but requires scalable solutions and professional development programs for educators. This approach fosters inclusive learning environments that support academic success and emotional well-being for students with dyscalculia.
