Abstract

These four causes of phubbing—smartphone addiction, internet addiction, social media addiction, and gaming addiction—are interconnected. The purpose of this article is to develop an instrument that counselors can use to determine the level of phubbing behavior among students in their school by testing its validity and reliability. The steps taken include: (1) determining aspects of the phubbing behavior scale, (2) formulating phubbing behavior scale indicators, (3) formulating phubbing behavior scale descriptors, (4) compiling phubbing behavior scale statement items, (5) testing validity, and (6) testing the reliability of the instrument. The 143 respondents consisted of students from several schools, including Maharani Pharmacy Vocational School Malang, National Vocational School Malang, State Senior High School 1 Gambiran, Widyagama High School Malang, Dr. Soetomo High School, and Vocational High School Darissulaimaniyyah. All respondent schools were located in East Java, Indonesia. After obtaining data from the students, it was analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 26 to test the validity and reliability of the phubbing behavior scale. The phubbing behavior scale indicators were derived from aspects such as communication disorders and obsession with cell phones. The scale, initially composed of 23 statement items, was found to have one invalid item, number 13, after testing. Thus, the remaining valid items totaled 22.

Abstract

Understanding fractions is a significant challenge in mathematics education globally, including in Malaysia, where students often struggle with core concepts. These difficulties hinder their progression into advanced areas like ratios, proportions, and algebra. This paper proposes a conceptual framework to enhance students’ understanding of fractions, with a focus on the Malaysian education system. Drawing on literature and practices from international contexts, this paper emphasizes the importance of visual models, manipulatives, technology integration and real-world applications in teaching fractions. As a concept paper, it synthesizes key insights from educational theories to develop strategies for improving fraction education. The framework highlights the need for alignment with both local and international curriculum. Key findings suggest that the use of manipulatives, visual models and technology can significantly improve fraction comprehension. By comparing global strategies, this paper offers insights into how these methods can be adapted to diverse learning environments, including low-resource settings. The framework implies that curriculum reforms, professional development for teachers and revised assessments are crucial to enhancing student outcomes in fraction education.
