Abstract

Background: This experimental study explores the integration of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and the Mathtastic application to enhance mathematical reasoning and collaborative skills among primary school students. Aims: Grounded in constructivist learning theory, the research aims to determine the effectiveness of a technology-supported PBL approach in fostering students’ higher-order thinking and teamwork abilities in the context of mathematics education. Methods: The study employed a quasi-experimental design with control and experimental groups comprising Grade 5 students from a public elementary school. The experimental group received mathematics instruction through PBL integrated with the Mathtastic app, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected using pre- and post-tests on mathematical reasoning, a collaboration rubric, and observation sheets. Result: The results showed a statistically significant improvement in the reasoning and collaboration performance of students in the experimental group compared to those in the control group. These findings suggest that combining PBL with interactive educational technology like Mathtastic can create a more engaging and effective learning environment for young learners. Conclusion: The study provides practical implications for teachers seeking to integrate digital tools and inquiry-based approaches to enrich mathematics learning experiences at the primary level.

Abstract

The research aimed to describe the students’ mathematics problem-solving skill and self-regulation in SMP Negeri 8 Purwokerto used Miles and Huberman’s model of cover reduction, serve, and conclusion. The data source of this research were eight graders of class F by using purposive sampling. The students grouped into three categories according to the mid-term result. The categories were: high, mediocre, and low scores. The data was collected using tests, questionnaire, interview, and documentation. This research concluded that the students’ mathematics problem-solving skill from those three categories was different. The high score students’ group had a better problem-solving skill compared to the students in the mediocre or the low categories. However, the self-regulation from these three groups did not have a significant difference. It was still at the developing level. Thus, it could be concluded that the students’ self-regulation did not affect the ability to solve mathematical problems.
