Abstract

This qualitative study explores Perseverance in Mathematical Reasoning (PiMR) in a junior high school student while solving a Data Presentation problem. A qualitative approach was chosen to gain an in-depth and contextual understanding of the subject's reasoning process and behaviors. The background for this study is the low level of mathematical reasoning perseverance among Indonesian students, which is a crucial ability. This study used a PISA-model written test and an interview with one seventh-grade subject. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. In general, the subject successfully demonstrated some indicators of PiMR, such as exploring solutions and attempting to correct answers. However, the main finding reveals the subject's inability to adjust strategies when facing an impasse, which resulted in the final answer remaining incorrect. The implication of this research emphasizes the need for targeted educational support to develop mathematical reasoning perseverance in students that is not only persistent but also more adaptive and sustainable.

Abstract

 Rapor Pendidikan diluncurkan Kemdikbud pada 2022 untuk menampilkan profil mutu satuan pendidikan dan menjadi dasar perencanaan berbasis data. Hasil rapor digunakan sekolah untuk refleksi, analisis, perencanaan, dan tindak lanjut peningkatan mutu secara berkelanjutan. Perencanaan berbasis data juga mendorong penggunaan anggaran yang efektif, akuntabel, dan tepat sasaran. Namun, tidak semua sekolah dasar di Kecamatan Tebo Tengah menunjukkan capaian yang baik. Beberapa sekolah mengalami penurunan nilai rapor pendidikan tahun 2024 dibanding 2023, bahkan masih terdapat kategori merah atau kurang. Kondisi ini dipengaruhi oleh ketidaksiapan siswa menghadapi Asesmen Nasional, metode mengajar guru yang masih konvensional, serta program sekolah yang belum sesuai data riil. Karena itu, kepala sekolah membutuhkan pendampingan untuk menyusun strategi peningkatan rapor pendidikan dan perencanaan berbasis data. Program pengabdian dilaksanakan selama delapan bulan melibatkan pengawas, kepala sekolah, dan guru. Hasilnya, peserta mulai memahami indikator rapor pendidikan serta mampu merancang tindak lanjut sesuai kebutuhan siswa di masing-masing sekolah dengan lebih terarah dan sistematis. Abstract.  The Education Report Card was launched by the Ministry of Education in 2022 to present the quality profile of schools and serve as a basis for data-driven planning. The report results are used by schools for reflection, analysis, planning, and follow-up actions to improve quality sustainably. Data-based planning also encourages effective, accountable, and targeted budget use. However, not all elementary schools in Central Tebo District showed good performance. Some schools experienced a decline in their 2024 report card scores compared to 2023, and several remained in the red or low category. This condition was caused by students’ lack of readiness for the National Assessment, teachers still using conventional teaching methods, and school programs not aligned with actual data. Therefore, principals needed assistance in designing strategies to improve education report cards and data-based planning. The community service program was conducted for eight months involving supervisors, principals, and teachers. As a result, participants began to understand the report indicators and were able to design follow-up actions according to students’ needs in each school more systematically.

Abstract

Learning interest is a crucial psychological factor influencing students’ achievement in mathematics. However, numerous studies indicate that students’ interest in mathematics remains relatively low. The integration of digital technology in instruction has been widely explored as an alternative strategy to enhance learning interest, although previous studies have reported mixed findings. This study aims to synthesize previous research examining the effect of digital media and learning applications on students’ interest in mathematics. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Obtained 165 articles published and indexed by google scholar and then selected based on the keyword “interest in learning mathematics and digital technology”. The selection process resulted in 18 eligible articles published between 2020-2026, where the search was conducted in February 2026. The findings reveal that digital technology consistently has a positive impact on students’ learning interest, particularly in terms of attraction, enjoyment, and active engagement. Game-based media and interactive applications demonstrate the most significant effects. These findings imply that the integration of well-designed digital learning technologies can be an effective strategy for fostering students’ interest in mathematics, especially if supported by proper pedagogical planning and an interactive learning environment at every level of education. Nevertheless, most studies present methodological limitations and lack long-term impact evaluation.

Abstract

Students often struggle to express mathematical ideas through multiple external representations, particularly when learning polyhedral geometry that requires coordination of visual, verbal, and symbolic forms. This study aims to design a project-based learning worksheet and examine its validity and feasibility through the Geometrocity project. In this activity, students construct a miniature city as a contextual medium to explore geometric concepts while engaging with structured representational tasks. The study follows the ADDIE development framework and is limited to the development stage. The focus lies on producing a valid and feasible learning tool rather than measuring classroom effectiveness. Two material experts and one media expert evaluated the worksheet using validation instruments that assess content accuracy, language clarity, instructional presentation, and graphical design. Quantitative ratings were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative feedback supported iterative product revisions. The results indicate that the Geometrocity worksheet achieved high validity scores across all assessed aspects and met the criteria for feasibility. These findings suggest that the worksheet is suitable for use in further implementation studies. This study contributes a project-based worksheet that integrates structured representational activities within contextual geometry tasks.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has created new opportunities to enhance students’ mathematical conceptual understanding and support more personalized learning experiences. This study aims to explore students’ mathematical conceptual understanding when using AI chatbots in learning the Pythagorean Theorem. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, involving eighth-grade junior high school students selected through purposive sampling based on their level of conceptual understanding. Data were collected through a perspective questionnaire, an essay-based test, and semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that students were able to meet all indicators of mathematical conceptual understanding, with AI helping them understand definitions, visualize geometric relationships, obtain immediate feedback, and recognize real-world applications of the Pythagorean Theorem. However, students still face difficulties in meeting some of the indicators of mathematical conceptual understanding in the Pythagorean theorem, which were influenced by a tendency to rush and the suboptimal use of AI features. In conclusion, although AI can effectively support conceptual understanding, its integration in learning should be accompanied by teacher guidance to foster metacognitive awareness and deeper, more reflective learning.

Abstract

Mathematical argumentation is important for developing students’ reasoning abilities. This study aims to analyze junior high school students’ written and oral argumentation abilities when solving reasoning tasks. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, involving 31 ninth-grade students from SMP Negeri 7 Muaro Jambi. The study was conducted in the odd semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The research instruments consisted of a mathematical reasoning test, interview protocols, and documentation. The mathematical reasoning test included three questions. The results of the tests and interviews were analyzed using the main components of Toulmin’s argumentation model, which consist of claims, data, warrants, backing, qualifiers, and rebuttals. Based on the test and interview results, students’ argumentation abilities were categorized into five levels, from Level 1 to Level 5. The findings show that 31 students (100%) reached Level 1, 15 (48.38%) reached Level 2, and 9 (29.03%) reached Level 3. No students reached Level 4 or Level 5. These findings indicate that students can construct claims, data, and warrants when solving mathematical reasoning tasks. However, students still need to be trained to develop backing, qualifiers, and rebuttals in order to complete the argumentation process appropriately in both written and oral forms.

Abstract

Number pattern learning in junior high schools still tends to be procedural, resulting in students being less active and not yet accustomed to posing problems independently. The worksheets commonly used in schools generally contain routine exercises and do not fully support meaningful learning experiences. This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of number pattern student worksheets (LKPD) based on the problem posing model with a deep learning approach integrated with the local cultural context of Jambi batik. The evaluation in this study is limited to validity and practicality aspects. The research employed a development studies type of design research consisting of three stages: preliminary, prototype, and assessment. Data were collected through validation by subject matter and media experts using a Likert-scale instrument, as well as practicality assessments through a limited trial involving one mathematics teacher and six junior high school students. The final validation results showed that the LKPD obtained scores of 64 from the subject matter expert and 61 from the media expert, both categorized as very good. The practicality test results indicated that the LKPD obtained a percentage score of 77.5% from the teacher and 77.29% from students, categorized as very good and good, respectively. These findings indicate that the developed LKPD is valid and practical, making it suitable for use as teaching material in junior high school mathematics learning. In addition, the integration of problem posing, deep learning principles, and Jambi batik context has the potential to support more meaningful learning experiences. This study was limited to validity and practicality testing and did not examine the effectiveness of the worksheets on students’ learning outcomes or analogical reasoning abilities.

Abstract

Research on mathematical reasoning has increasingly recognized perseverance as more than "not giving up"; it requires maintaining coherent reasoning when facing obstacles. However, micro-level analysis linking perseverance episodes to Adversity Quotient (AQ) dimensions remains limited, particularly in linear equation-in-one-variable contexts. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach, a single-case qualitative study that examined one climber-type student (selected via ARP questionnaire from 32 eighth graders) solving Linear Equation on Linear Variable (LEOV) tasks. Data included observations, semi-structured interviews, and written work, analyzed using Miles and Huberman's framework with source triangulation. The results show that Climber (AA) students illustrate strong Perseverance in Mathematical Reasoning (PiMR) through three integrated behaviors: (1) exploring multiple solution strategies and verifying results (Control–Endurance); (2) reflecting on errors and adapting approaches (Ownership–Reach); and (3) maintaining goal focus while revising strategies (Endurance–Control). These findings imply that mathematics instruction should systematically scaffold productive struggle, validation practices, and self-regulation to develop reasoning-specific perseverance, not merely task persistence.
