Abstract

The Indonesian curriculum emphasizes tailored learning based on students' developmental stages and achievement levels, focusing on cognitive development, particularly in algebraic reasoning, which is very important for students' overall cognitive maturation. This study aimed to determine the effect of the implementation of the learning model and students' cognitive stage on algebraic reasoning ability. The study was conducted using quantitative research with a post-test design to achieve the research objective. Two classes were taken as samples from one of the high schools in West Bandung Regency. The instruments used were the Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT) to categorize students into students' cognitive stage groups and algebraic reasoning test instruments to determine the achievement of algebraic reasoning ability. Data analysis was done using statistical tests, including a normality test, homogeneity test, and two-way ANOVA test. The results are: there is an effect of implementing the Means-End Analysis (MEA) learning model supported by Kotobee on algebraic reasoning; there is an effect of students' cognitive stage on algebraic reasoning; and there is no interaction effect of students' cognitive stage and implementation learning model on algebraic reasoning ability. Further research on other mathematical skills using the Kotobee-based MEA learning model is needed.

Abstract

Early algebra constitutes an essential foundation in elementary education because it supports students’ relational reasoning, structural understanding, and generalization abilities from an early age. However, many studies indicate that algebra instruction in elementary schools remains dominated by procedural arithmetic approaches, which often lead to persistent conceptual difficulties and misconceptions, particularly during the transition to formal algebra. Therefore, this study aims to review and synthesize research on early algebra in elementary education to provide a systematic overview of research foci, instructional approaches, and existing limitations and research gaps. This study employed a literature review of articles retrieved from Google Scholar using the keywords early algebra, early algebra in elementary schools, and early algebra in primary education published between 2020 and 2025. A total of 49 articles were collected and screened based on relevance criteria, resulting in 39 articles for analysis. The research instrument was an article analysis sheet, and the data were analyzed using thematic analysis by classifying the articles into eight categories of study. The results show that early algebra research primarily focuses on identifying students’ difficulties and misconceptions, particularly related to variables, the meaning of the equal sign, and the arithmetic-to-algebra transition. Dominant instructional approaches include multiple representations, pattern- and relationship-based tasks, problem-based learning, and game-based learning. The findings also highlight the importance of teacher competence, curriculum coherence, and policy support in early algebra implementation. This study recommends strengthening concept-oriented instruction, enhancing teacher professional development, and conducting further research on the sustainability and scalability of early algebra implementation

Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini dimaksudkan agar dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa sekolah dasar dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran Problem Based Learning (PBL). Penelitian ini menguji penerapan Problem Based Learning (PBL) dalam meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa di sekolah dasar dengan menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) serta menggunakan sampel sebanyak 25 siswa di salah satu sekolah dasar kelas 5 kota Cimahi. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa tes, lembar observasi, dan lembar wawancara. Teknik analisis data menggunakan analisis statistika dan deskripsi dengan validasi data dan pengolahan data. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pada kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa setelah dilakukan tindakan sebanyak 2 siklus. Simpulan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa siswa dapat memecahkan persoalan melalui tes yang diberikan serta menunjukkan perilaku sebagai bentuk meningkatnya kemampuan berpikir kritis.

Abstract

Mathematical critical thinking skills are essential for vocational students, yet traditional instruction often struggles to teach abstract deductive proofs within rigid school schedules. While digital media is widely used, there remains a pedagogical gap in integrating structured experiential cycles into interactive platforms to foster higher-order reasoning. This study aims to develop and evaluate an interactive flipbook integrated with Kolb’s experiential learning model to address this limitation. Utilizing the 4D development method (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), the platform's operational practicality was evaluated by teaching practitioners and a small group of 20 students, followed by a field implementation phase with a cohort of 30 vocational students (N = 30) facing mathematical induction topics. Data were gathered through expert validation sheets, teacher practicality questionnaires, and critical thinking pre-/post-tests. The results demonstrate that the developed media achieved excellent expert validity across content, media, and language parameters. Furthermore, it attained a high operational practicality rate of 84.00% from teaching practitioners, acting as an autonomous scaffolding tool. Importantly, the media proved highly effective, yielding an overall student critical thinking score of 79.00%, with peak performance in variable identification (90.00%) and argument validation (88.00%). These findings indicate that anchoring experiential loops within a scannable digital format systematically drives uniform cognitive gains, offering a robust pedagogical vehicle for vocational mathematics education.
