Abstract

This study aims to examine the concept and application of Islamic spiritual leadership in realizing quality and character-based Early Childhood Education (PAUD). The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by analyzing 15 relevant national and international articles, obtained from Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Scopus, DOAJ, and Garuda Dikti databases. The results of the study indicate that Islamic spiritual leadership in PAUD emphasizes exemplary behavior, the moral values of knowing-feeling-acting, and the application of the characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, namely shidiq, amanah, tabligh, and fathanah. Implementation strategies found include teacher training, habituation of religious values, curriculum integration, extracurricular activities, congregational prayer, and strengthening school culture. Obstacles that arise include limited teacher competence, student diversity, and limited time and resources. This leadership model has a positive impact on improving the quality of education, character formation, discipline, and intrinsic motivation of children. The novelty of this study lies in the synthesis of literature that comprehensively links Islamic spiritual leadership with efforts to improve the quality and character formation of early childhood. This study also recommends the importance of ongoing training for educators and empirical studies to strengthen the effectiveness of the Islamic spiritual leadership model in early childhood education institutions. Thus, the results of this study emphasize that Islamic spiritual leadership is not only conceptually relevant, but also constitutes a strategic foundation in realizing quality and superior character PAUD in the modern era.

Abstract

This research aims to develop meaningful e-module teaching materials for Differential Equations course, with a focus on improving students' critical thinking skills. Using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework, the e-module is designed to be interactive and flexible, allowing students to learn independently and in more depth. The research method involved student and lecturer needs analysis, observations, interviews, as well as a student survey to identify gaps in current learning. The results showed that the use of conventional teaching materials did not support the development of critical thinking skills. Therefore, the developed e-module includes various interactive features such as simulations, quizzes, and case studies to assist students in understanding abstract concepts in Differential Equations course. This e-module is expected to increase students' active involvement and provide a more meaningful learning experience. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of technology in a complex mathematics learning process, which has not been done much in previous studies.

Abstract

The efficacy of NuminaMath 7B, an AI model that was created to address mathematical challenges, is assessed in this investigation. We evaluated the model's accuracy and efficiency against conventional methods through experiments that produced quantitative data. Qualitative data were collected through surveys and interviews with users to gain insight into their experiences and pinpoint areas for improvement. The survey results indicated that users found NuminaMath 7B to be pertinent, effective, and user-friendly, as evidenced by the exceptionally high average scores in user experience (95), perception of features and interface (90), and additional feedback (85). NuminaMath 7B was able to offer mathematical solutions with logical and detailed explanations as a result of the model's development through two phases of adjustments, which were conducted using the Chain of Thought (CoT) methodology and inspiration from the Tool-Integrated Reasoning Agent (ToRA) framework. Testing demonstrated that the model achieved a score of 29 out of 50 in the AI Math Olympiad competition, despite encountering difficulties in resolving more intricate problems. This study underscores the significance and urgency of AI technology, particularly in the field of mathematics, as well as the significant potential of AI models to facilitate a more comprehensive comprehension of mathematical concepts.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in mathematics learning, but learning practices often emphasize final results rather than students' thinking processes. These differences in thinking processes are inseparable from personality characteristics, particularly the Thinking and Feeling types. This study aims to describe and compare students' critical thinking skills in solving mathematical problems based on the Thinking and Feeling personality types. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with two subjects, eighth-grade students at Unismuh Makassar Junior High School, each representing the Thinking and Feeling personality types. Data were obtained through the MBTI personality test, critical thinking ability tests in the form of essay questions, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model with time triangulation to ensure data validity. The results showed that both personality types were able to fulfill the six indicators of critical thinking, namely interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, and self-regulation, but through different thinking processes. Students with the Thinking type showed a more logical, systematic, and efficient thinking pattern from the early stages, while students with the Feeling type displayed a more gradual, contextual, and reflective thinking process. These findings confirm that critical thinking in mathematics is multidimensional and influenced by personality. This study contributes to enriching the study of mathematical critical thinking and provides practical implications for teachers to design adaptive learning according to students' thinking characteristics.

Abstract

This systematic review aims to identify, categorize, and evaluate the effectiveness of GeoGebra-assisted instructional strategies reported in various published studies in developing mathematical communication skills among Indonesian high school students. Specifically, the review seeks to: (1) identify and categorize the types of GeoGebra-assisted instructional strategies employed by Indonesian teachers; (2) synthesize evidence regarding their effectiveness on students' mathematical communication skills; and (3) analyze implementation challenges and facilitating factors within the Indonesian educational context. Following the PRISMA framework, the study analyzed 20 empirical articles published between 2024 and 2025 which met the preset criteria. The use of Geogebra in the three predominant instructional strategies, such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Project-Based Learning (PjBL), and Discovery Learning, could enhance students' visual, symbolic, and verbal communication skills. The synthesis reveals that GeoGebra's interactive features facilitate mathematical representation and discourse, though implementation faces challenges including infrastructural limitations and varying levels of teacher readiness. Facilitating factors include GeoGebra's accessibility, visual capabilities, and compatibility with collaborative learning approaches. The novelty of this review lies in its focused synthesis of implementation dynamics within the Indonesian context. Practical implications underscore the need for targeted professional development and institutional support to optimize GeoGebra integration. This study contributes an evidence-based framework to guide educators and policymakers in fostering effective, communication-oriented mathematics instruction.
