Abstract

Critical thinking skills are one of the key competencies that students must possess to face future challenges. In the context of mathematics learning at SMP Negeri 27 Makassar, mathematical critical thinking skills are essential and need to be developed to support the advancement of knowledge in the era of globalization. However, mathematics learning often does not fully focus on the development of higher-order thinking skills. A learning approach that integrates STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) can be a solution, as it allows students to understand and apply mathematical concepts in real-world situations. The integration of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics elements in learning creates a more creative, holistic, and relevant learning experience. This study aims to analyze how the STEAM approach can help students at SMP Negeri 27 Makassar see the connections between scientific fields and apply them to solve real-world problems, thereby enhancing their critical thinking skills. This research uses a literature review method. The analysis results show that the implementation of STEAM-based learning at SMP Negeri 27 Makassar is effective in improving students' critical thinking skills. The integration of the STEAM approach in mathematics learning makes a significant contribution to the development of critical thinking skills, preparing students to face increasingly complex and dynamic global challenges.

Abstract

Low math learning outcomes in students, especially in comparison materials, are reflected in low scores on the National Exam and learning outcomes in the classroom. Several factors, both internal and external, can cause learning difficulties experienced by students. This study aims to analyze the obstacles to students' difficulties in learning mathematics and their causes. The subjects involved were 30 students. This type of mixed research uses data collection methods through tests, interviews, and questionnaires. The instruments used are closed questionnaire sheets and interview guidelines. Data analysis techniques using data collection are interactive model data analysis techniques, especially in the data reduction and conclusion drawing sections. The results revealed that 12 students experienced difficulties in interpreting language. These difficulties include difficulty understanding the problem's core and integrating everyday language into the depth of mathematical language. The conclusion that can be formulated is that the difficulties experienced by students arise because of themselves and from people around their school environment. This research implies that educators design materials by improving concepts and mathematical literacy to overcome student difficulties.

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

The diverse characteristics of students in the classroom require the implementation of instructional strategies that can meet individual learning needs. Differentiated instruction is one such strategy that can accommodate this diversity, particularly in mathematics education. This study describes the application of differentiated instruction in teaching Data and Diagrams in Class VII.A at SMP Negeri 4 Sungguminasa during the 2023/2024 academic year. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method involving one mathematics teacher and 34 students as subjects. Data were collected through observation sheets, questionnaires, and documentation. The findings reveal that the teacher implemented various teaching methods, such as group discussions and the use of technology, while actively providing feedback. Despite challenges in adapting methods to meet the needs of all students, the teacher responsded positively to the implementation of differentiated instruction and recognized the need for further training. Student participation indicated that this approach enhanced understanding and motivation, although some students still required additional guidance. These findings suggest that differentiated instruction plays a role in meeting diverse learning needs in the classroom, yet further development is needed to ensure its effectiveness for all students.

Abstract

Students still experience difficulties and many misconceptions about mathematical concepts, especially integer operations. The urgency of the research is based on the fact that these misconceptions can affect the development of students' understanding in mathematics. The aim is to identify and analyse students' errors and misconceptions using the Rasch Model. The research method used is quantitative with a survey approach, with respondents of 675 elementary and high school students in Makassar. Data were collected through instruments, multiple-choice questions arranged according to mathematics curriculum standards, then analysed using the Rasch Model to identify the type of misconception and the level of difficulty of the questions. The results show that the main misconceptions are related to the understanding of negative symbols and the concept of numerical balance. These findings indicate the need to develop more comprehensive diagnostic instruments and improve teacher training in integer learning. In conclusion, the use of the Rasch Model has proven effective in identifying misconceptions and can be the basis for developing learning strategies. The implications of the research support teacher training and methods for learning mathematical concepts.
