Abstract

This study reviews students’ negative perceptions of mathematics and examines how philosophies of mathematics education shape perceptions and teaching practice. Using a PRISMA-2020–based Systematic Literature Review, authors searched Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and Google Scholar and applied inclusion criteria: peer-reviewed full-text articles published between 1992 and 2024. Thirty-two studies were thematically analyzed. Findings show constructivism and humanism as the most prevalent approaches, while ethnomathematics is widely implemented within local cultural contexts in Asia and Latin America. Integrating these philosophies boosts students’ motivation, interest, and confidence, though perceptions of mathematics as abstract are not fully dispelled. Teachers cite curriculum pressure, limited training, and insufficient policy support as key barriers. The review underscores the urgency of grounding reflective pedagogy in the philosophy of mathematics education to improve students’ perceptions and learning experiences across contexts. Realism appears less dominant in classroom practice, highlighting the need for sustained policy backing and professional development.

Abstract

  This classroom action research aimed to improve third-grade students’ mathematics achievement on decimal numbers through a game-based Treasure Hunt learning model. The study employed the Kemmis and McTaggart classroom action research design carried out in two cycles, each consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting stages, involving 28 third-grade students of SD Islam Sabilillah Malang. Data were collected using mathematics achievement tests, observation sheets for students’ activities and instructional implementation, and a learning motivation questionnaire. The results showed that the mean score increased from 61.8 at the pre-test to 72.4 in the first-cycle post-test and 81.6 in the second-cycle post-test, while mastery learning improved from 35.7% to 89.3%, with a normalized gain of 0.52 (medium category). Students’ motivation reached an average score of 4.1 (high category), and instructional implementation achieved 94.6% (very good category). In conclusion, the Treasure Hunt learning model is effective in enhancing students’ mathematics achievement, motivation, and engagement in elementary mathematics learning.   Keywords: Game-Based Learning, Mathematics Achievement, Motivation, Treasure Hunt.
