Abstract

As the Indonesian National Curriculum (INC), the Merdeka curriculum was implemented in response to students' difficulties in comprehending and utilizing basic mathematics, contributing to low numeracy skills. This study investigated mathematics teachers' perceptions in Indonesia concerning the effectiveness of INC and the supporting programs, such as the National Assessment (NA) and Pancasila Student Profile (PSP), in improving students' numeracy skills. It also aimed to identify mathematics teachers' challenges in integrating numeracy skills into the curriculum and these programs. A mixed-method study with a sequential explanatory design was used to achieve this objective. The data collection was carried out through quantitative and qualitative approaches. Closed questionnaires were explicitly used for quantitative data, while open questionnaires and interviews were used for qualitative data. Inferential statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data and a thematic analysis for qualitative data. The quantitative results showed that most teachers positively perceived the effectiveness of INC and the programs in empowering students' numeracy skills. The implementation of INC and PSP significantly influenced the empowerment of numeracy skills. The qualitative analysis provided an in-depth exploration of teachers' perceptions and the challenges faced in promoting numeracy skills in implementing INC and the programs.

Abstract

Geometry learning requires a comprehensive understanding of spatial reasoning, but students face difficulty in mastering the skill. As a virtual technology, Augmented Reality (AR) offers a solution to overcome the challenges in spatial reasoning with the potential to represent and manipulate objects and develop spatial images mentally. Therefore, this research aimed to develop a mobile educational game named GEMBI AR to support students' spatial reasoning skills in geometry learning. The ADDIE model consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases used to conduct research and development (R&D). The participants included six expert validators, two mathematics teachers, and eighteen eighth graders. In addition, the expert validators validated GEMBI AR in terms of quality. The result showed that GEMBI AR was valid as a geometry learning tool. According to the feedback of teachers and students, GEMBI AR was practical for educational purposes since the application positively impacted spatial reasoning. Students' spatial reasoning skills were also enhanced to compare the differences in the pre-test and post-test using Wilcoxon (Z = –3.578, p = 0.000 < 0.05). Meanwhile, the N-Gain score of 0.576, showing moderate improvement, reflected gains in spatial perception, mental rotation, and visualization. These findings suggest that GEMBI AR is a functional and valid educational resource useful for helping students develop geometric spatial reasoning. Thus, geometry learning supported by GEMBI AR has the potential to enhance spatial reasoning in secondary school.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy is essential for students to solve interrelated problems across various subjects. However, students' numeracy literacy skills remain low, necessitating innovative learning resources. This research focuses on designing an Adaptive Digital Book (ADB) that is claimed to be valid, practical, and effective in improving students' numeracy literacy. This study adopted a design research approach in the context of development studies, which included two main phases: the preliminary phase and the formative evaluation phase, which included self-evaluation, expert evaluation, and iterative evaluation (one-to-one, small group, and field test). Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through assessment of numeracy literacy, interviews, and distributing questionnaires. Results showed that ADB is practical and effective in its validity as well as in meeting the requirements of students with different learning needs. The combination of multimedia elements like videos caters to visual and auditory learners, which helps improve their numeracy literacy skills.
