Abstract

This study was motivated by the need to enhance student understanding of linear equations through innovative and practical learning resources. The primary aim was to develop and evaluate the validity and practicality of a Tri-N-based E-Module specifically designed for linear equation material. Utilizing a research and development (R&D) approach, the study followed the Four-D model, comprising Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. Conducted at SMP Negeri 3 Yogyakarta, the research involved 26 eighth-grade students as participants, with data collected through interviews and questionnaires, including validation surveys by material experts, media specialists, and students. The resulting E-Module, tailored to the learning needs of eighth-grade students, was validated with high scores from experts in material and media. Student feedback strongly affirmed its practicality and efficacy in facilitating learning. These findings confirm the Tri-N-based E-Module as a valid and practical tool for teaching linear equations, with significant potential to improve learning outcomes and instructional quality in mathematics education.

Abstract

Mathematics is often seen as a challenging subject that demands not only cognitive ability but also sustained motivation. This study investigates how peer interaction can act as a catalyst for enhancing students’ motivation to learn mathematics. Adopting a qualitative approach with a survey design, data were collected from 40 high school and vocational students in Gunungkidul, Indonesia. Thematic analysis of open-ended questionnaire responses revealed that 72% of students reported higher motivation when learning alongside peers. Key motivational drivers included emotional support, collaborative problem-solving, and peer-driven encouragement. Interestingly, the study also highlighted potential setbacks such as interpersonal conflicts, which may reduce motivation. These findings affirm the transformative role of peer relationships in academic contexts and suggest that fostering supportive peer networks can be a strategic tool in improving students’ engagement with mathematics. This study contributes to educational psychology and mathematics education by demonstrating that peer interaction not only fosters emotional well-being but also improves students’ cognitive engagement with complex mathematical concepts. The findings offer practical insights into how structured peer collaboration can be integrated into instructional design to support diverse learner needs. By highlighting the dual role of peer interaction, as both an academic and affective resource, the study provides a foundation for developing socially responsive and student-centered learning environments aimed at improving mathematical achievement.

Abstract

Mathematics is often perceived as a difficult subject that triggers anxiety, especially among students facing academic pressure. This study aims to analyze and describe the level of mathematics anxiety experienced by final-year vocational high school students. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through a questionnaire distributed to six randomly selected Grade XII students from a vocational school in Gedangsari. The instrument consisted of 23 statements: 6 positive and 17 negative using a Likert scale to assess students’ anxiety. Data analysis followed the Miles & Huberman model, which includes data reduction, display, and verification. The results showed varying levels of mathematics anxiety: 2 students were categorized as having very high anxiety, 3 were in the moderate category, and 1 student experienced very low anxiety. Students with high anxiety reported symptoms such as trembling hands, increased heart rate, mental blocks, and a lack of confidence during mathematics tasks. Meanwhile, students with lower anxiety demonstrated greater emotional control, focus, and proactive engagement in learning activities. The findings indicate that mathematics anxiety can significantly hinder students’ cognitive and emotional capacity to learn effectively. This study contributes to educational psychology by providing insight into how mathematics anxiety manifests among vocational high school students. It highlights the importance of recognizing emotional factors in learning, particularly in high-pressure academic contexts. The results can inform teachers, counselors, and curriculum designers in developing supportive strategies to reduce anxiety and enhance mathematical engagement in vocational education. In conclusion, addressing mathematics anxiety is crucial for fostering a positive and supportive learning environment that empowers students to perform better academically. This research contributes to the understanding of mathematics anxiety in vocational education and emphasizes the need for empathetic, emotion-sensitive teaching approaches that support both cognitive and emotional student development.

Abstract

Students' errors in solving mathematical problems reflect their level of understanding and systematic thinking skills. This qualitative study aims to identify the types of errors and factors causing students' difficulties in solving the System of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SPLDV). The subjects were three eighth-grade junior high school students in Banjarnegara who were selected purposively. Data were obtained through written tests, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results showed three main error categories: errors in modeling problems, calculations, and incomplete answer structures. The contributing factors include weak conceptual understanding, minimal contextual practice, the habit of solving problems instantly, and a lack of thorough problem interpretation. These findings are expected to provide an empirical basis for teachers and curriculum developers in designing effective learning and emphasizing conceptual understanding, contextual practice, reasoning, and systematic communication in SPLDV material
