Abstract

This study explores the concept of fractal geometry found in the Tian Ti Pagoda. Fractal geometry is a branch of mathematics describing the properties and shapes of various fractals. A qualitative method with an ethnographic approach is used in this study. Observation, field notes, interviews, documentation, and literature study obtained research data. The observation results were processed computationally using the Lindenmayer system method via the L-Studio application to view fractal shapes. The results show that the concept of fractal geometry is contained in the ornaments on the Tian Ti Pagoda. The length and angles of each part of the ornament influence the fractal shape of the Tian Ti Pagoda ornament. In addition, the length and angle modifications resulted in several variations of the Tian Ti Pagoda fractal. The findings from this study can be used as an alternative medium for learning mathematics lectures, especially in applied mathematics, dynamical systems, and computational geometry.

Abstract

The miracles (i'jaz) in the Qur'an can be examined not only from a linguistic perspective, but also from a numerical perspective. One interesting phenomenon is the hadith about the virtue of reciting Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Insan during the Fajr prayer on Friday. This study aims to explore these two surahs through a mathematical approach. A quantitative descriptive method with median analysis was used in this study. The data examined included the number of verses and words in Surah As-Sajdah, Surah Al-Insan, and the range of surahs between the two. The integration model used was mathematics to explore the Qur'an. The results of the study show three main findings. First, the median word in Surah As-Sajdah falls on verse 15, precisely on the word sujjada, which means prostration, and is located in the verse of prostration. Second, both the median verse and the median word in Surah Al-Insan consistently point to verse 16. Third, the median verse from the beginning of Surah As-Sajdah to the end of Surah Al-Insan points to Surah Muhammad verse 18, which talks about the signs of the Day of Judgment, in line with the belief that the Day of Judgment will occur on Friday. These findings show that simple mathematical analyses such as the median can be applied to reveal the regularity and numerical wonders in the Qur'an. This research contributes to the study of the i'jaz of the Qur'an from a mathematical perspective while opening up opportunities for the development of Qur'an-based mathematics learning integration.

Abstract

Graphic design skills are important for students in the digital age. However, students at UPKM El-Ma'rifah UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang still face limitations in their theoretical and technical understanding. This community service program aims to enhance the graphic design capabilities of students through structured training based on the observe, imitate, modify method. The program was implemented using a hybrid training and empowerment model, attended by 37 students on November 2, 2024. Evaluation was conducted using pre-test and post-test instruments to measure participants' cognitive understanding and satisfaction. The results of the community service showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of graphic design, with an average score increasing from 2.7 (pre-test) to 4.1 (post-test), an increase of 51.9%. The indicators with the highest increase were understanding of the concept of negative space (62.5%) and the principles of color aesthetics (60.0%). The participants' satisfaction level with the training was 94.6%. The majority of participants stated that the training provided technical insights that they did not obtain during their self-taught graphic design learning.

Abstract

Contextual problems play an important role as a medium for students to apply mathematical concepts. However, many students still have difficulty in understanding and interpreting the problem. Therefore, this study aims to describe the perceived of students' logical mathematical intelligence in solving contextual problems based on the mathematical literacy process. This study is a descriptive qualitative study. The research was conducted at Batu City Junior High School with 31 respondents. There were three research subjects representing the level of perceived of logical mathematical intelligence. The research instruments consisted of a questionnaire on the perceived of logical mathematical intelligence, a logical mathematical intelligence test, and an interview guideline. The data obtained were analyzed using the triangulation method. The results of the study showed that students' mathematical literacy with high perceived of logical mathematical intelligence met the employ, interpret and some formulate indicators. Then the mathematical literacy of students with moderate perceived of logical mathematical intelligence met the formulate, employ and some interpret indicators. In addition, the mathematical literacy of students with low perceived of logical mathematical intelligence only met some of the formulate and employ indicators. The findings of this study contribute to providing information and reflection materials for teachers in planning learning as an effort to improve mathematical literacy based on the perceived of students' logical mathematical intelligence.

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing secondary students’ 21st-century skills using a quasi-experimental mixed-methods design. Participants were Grade 10–11 students from two comparable public schools, with intact classrooms assigned to a PBL condition or conventional instruction. Quantitative data were collected through pre-test and post-test measures of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and self-regulation, while qualitative evidence was obtained from classroom observations, reflective journals, and semi-structured interviews. Statistical analyses indicated significantly higher post-test gains in the PBL group, with effect sizes suggesting meaningful educational impact across multiple skill domains. The qualitative strand revealed that skill growth was mediated by scaffolding practices, authentic task structures, iterative revision cycles, and group accountability mechanisms. Transferability and sustainability outcomes were strongest when assessment criteria valued process indicators and when projects were connected to real-world issues. The integration of findings suggests that PBL supports equitable skill development by providing multiple participation pathways for diverse learners. Implications for curriculum and teacher development are discussed.
