This study examines the influence of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) model with Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) questions, on students' achievement. The experimental research was conducted at Junior High School of 1 Ampana Tete and featured 56 Grade IX students. These students were divided into an experimental group that received TPS with HOTS and a control group that received conventional. Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized to analyze pretest and posttest scores. The results indicated that the experimental group showed a noteworthy enhancement in their achievements, as seen by an average posttest score of 59.07, which was significantly higher than the control group's score of 40.86. The experimental group achieved a normalized gain (N-Gain) of 0.517, indicating a medium level of improvement. In contrast, the control group's N-Gain was 0.303, indicating a low level of improvement. The results of t-test have indicated that the TPS model combined with HOTS questions, has a considerable favorable impact on students' performance. This study provides evidence for the efficacy of cooperative learning practices in improving academic performance in the field of mathematics. The findings indicate that instructors should integrate TPS and HOTS questions to cultivate a more engaging and intellectually stimulating learning atmosphere.

Abstract

The incorporation of cultural elements into mathematics education has the potential to enhance learning outcomes. This investigation sought to identify and elucidate the mathematical concepts inherent in the Mappacci tradition of Bugis culture. Employing qualitative ethnography, the study discerned mathematical patterns within the ritualistic practices through a combination of observations, interviews, documentation, and literature review. Analysis of the gathered data involved qualitative methodologies including domain analysis, taxonomy analysis, componential analysis, and analysis of cultural themes. Findings revealed that the use of specific odd and even numbers, such as 1, 7, and 9, alongside those prominent in the Pacci presentation, conveys fundamental life principles such as perfection and integrity. Moreover, geometric forms like triangles and rectangles symbolize stability and essential virtues, reflecting the cyclical essence of life and providing spiritual guidance. The symbolic application of Inai (Pacci) leaves underscore’s themes of unity and purification, reinforcing familial bonds. Furthermore, the adherence to numerical values like 30 and 3 in rituals reflects the influence of Islamic teachings, emphasizing the significance of triadic patterns in fostering religious and social cohesion. These cultural elements imbue both community and individual existence with profound ethical, spiritual, and cultural values, thereby enriching societal fabric.

Abstract

Geometric thinking abilities remain crucial in mathematics education, particularly for pre-service teachers who will shape future generations’ understanding of geometry. This study evaluates and compares the geometric thinking levels of generation Z pre-service mathematics teachers at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) and Universitas Mulawarman (UNMUL) using the Van Hiele model. A quantitative comparative design was employed, involving 233 UNM and 227 UNMUL students selected through purposive sampling. The geometric thinking test (GTT) assessed students across five levels: visualization, analysis, informal deduction, formal deduction, and rigor. Results indicated that UNM students excelled in analysis and informal deduction, whereas UNMUL students displayed a broader distribution across all levels, with notable frequencies at visualization and formal deduction levels. A statistically significant difference in overall geometric thinking scores were identified, using the Mann-Whitney U test, with UNM students scoring higher. These findings emphasize the importance of adopting student-centered instructional strategies aligned with the Van Hiele model to enhance geometric thinking. Incorporating hands-on activities and technology is recommended to better prepare pre-service teachers for effective geometric instruction. The study provides insights for educators and policymakers to improve mathematics education by fostering higher geometric thinking levels in future teachers.

Abstract

Academic writing is one of the essential skills that university students must acquire, especially in preparation for the IELTS writing test, which demands not only English language proficiency but also logical and systematic thinking skills. Although this skill is crucial, the majority of students in the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA) at Universitas Negeri Makassar (UNM) still demonstrate limited competence in academic writing, particularly for IELTS purposes. One strategic effort to enhance this skill is through a student mentoring program supported by the FMIPA International Students Community (FISCO), a group comprising students and alumni. This community serves as mentors and teaching assistants in the English for Subject Matter (ESM) program, which specifically guides students in the International Class Program (ICP) in mastering academic skills, with a focus on academic writing as a key component of the IELTS test. Although the mentors generally possess strong academic backgrounds, many of them still face challenges in effectively teaching academic writing techniques. Therefore, this community service activity aims to improve the academic writing skills of ICP mentors through the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. The program was carried out in three main stages: (1) presentation of the material, (2) practical application of AI tools, and (3) interactive discussion. Evaluation results based on questionnaires distributed at the end of the training session indicated that all participants responded positively to the training and showed increased knowledge regarding key aspects of academic writing for IELTS Writing Task 1 and Task 2.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is essential for students to apply mathematical reasoning in real-world contexts, yet its development often relies on foundational knowledge. Understanding how the mastery of prerequisite knowledge influences mathematical literacy can help formulate more effective teaching strategies. This study explores the relationship between students' mathematical literacy levels and their mastery of prerequisite knowledge in grade XI of high school. This study used a qualitative approach, five students were selected based on their mastery of prerequisite knowledge and mathematical literacy. Data were collected through tests and interviews, with methodological triangulation to ensure validity. The study's findings showed varying literacy outcomes according to mastery of prerequisites. Students with high-medium ability demonstrated competence in fairly complex tasks but struggled with advanced reasoning. In contrast, students with medium-high abilities could interpret and apply information well but faced challenges in solving high-level problems. This study suggests that the development of mathematical literacy is not always linear with the mastery of prerequisites, highlighting the importance of teaching strategies that integrate conceptual understanding with literacy skills. These insights contribute to mathematics education by emphasizing the role of foundational knowledge in improving students' mathematical literacy.

Abstract

This study explores the application of ethnomathematics in the We Tenri Olle Tomb, located in Pancana Village, Barru Regency, South Sulawesi. The study aims to identify mathematical concepts, particularly geometry, embedded within the tomb’s architectural elements. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through direct observation and literature review. The results show that the tomb's design reflects the application of planar geometry concepts, such as rectangular walls, and spatial geometry, such as a semi-spherical dome. Geometric transformations, including reflections on walls, translations in floral patterns, and rotations in window designs, were also identified. The tomb design embodies the dynamic cultural acculturation between the local Bugis culture and European colonial influences while symbolizing the diplomatic relationship between the Tanete Kingdom and the Netherlands. This study contributes to ethnomathematics by connecting cultural heritage with mathematical concepts and providing insights for developing culture-based mathematics education to enhance students’ understanding of geometry and appreciation for local traditions.

This study utilized quasi-experimental study used a nonequivalent control group design with a quantitative approach. The population consisted of all seventh-grade students from ten classes, and cluster random sampling was used to select the sample. As a result, the experimental group (PBL with GeoGebra) was VII Sultan Hasanuddin and class the control group (PBL without GeoGebra) was VII Andi Mappanyukki. Test and observation sheet are used to collect the data, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The results revealed that the average post-test score in the experimental group reached 83.19, with 100% mastery (31 out of 31 students scoring ≥75), and a normalized gain score reached 0.77 (high category). In contrast, the average post-test score in the control group reached 78.29, with 93.55% mastery (29 out of 31 students scoring ≥75), and a gain score of 0.69 (moderate category). From the independent sample t-test revealed there is a statistically significant difference between the two groups. These findings suggest that incorporating GeoGebra into the PBL model leads to better mathematics learning outcomes compared to PBL without GeoGebra, as evidenced by higher post-test scores, greater mastery rates, and more substantial learning gains.
