Abstract

One of the concepts in graph theory that can be analyzed is chromatic numbers of a graph and operation of two graphs. There are various kinds of operations of two graphs, one of which is the corona edge operation. This research aims to determine the chromatic number of the edge corona operation of graph Cn*K1,m  and K1,m*Cn, where Cn is a cycle graph and K1,m is a star graph. The chromatic number is determined based on the pattern formed from several n and m values. The results of this research show that the chromatic number of the edge corona operation of graph Cn*K1,m  is 4 for n= 3, 4, ... k   and m=1, 2, 3, ..., l. The chromatic number of the edge corona operation of graph K1,m*Cn is 5 if n is odd number. and is 4 if n is even number.

Abstract

This qualitative descriptive study provides a comprehensive profile of scientific academic writing skills among university students enrolled in mathematics education and primary school teacher education programs. Using a self-assessment survey, 110 students evaluated their proficiency across various dimensions of scientific writing, including clarity and coherence, organization of scientific arguments, use of scientific terminology, citation and referencing, critical evaluation of literature, and independent thinking. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify trends, strengths, and areas for improvement in students' writing skills. The findings revealed that students generally feel confident in their ability to construct clear academic paragraphs and use appropriate vocabulary and tone, but struggle with higher-order writing tasks such as synthesizing information from multiple sources and organizing extended scientific texts. Many students also expressed difficulties in applying proper citation and referencing styles, particularly APA format. Key strengths identified in the study include competence in basic grammar, punctuation, and paragraph structure, while notable weaknesses were found in areas such as critical evaluation, organizing complex arguments, and correct application of citation conventions. These results suggest a need for targeted instructional interventions to help students develop the advanced scientific writing skills necessary for academic success. The study's findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on improving scientific academic writing pedagogy, offering insights for educators to better support students in mastering these critical skills.

Abstract

Mathematics plays a fundamental role in developing logical, analytical, and systematic thinking; therefore, mathematics learning should emphasize not only procedural mastery but also meaningful conceptual understanding. One essential process standard in mathematics learning is mathematical representation, as it enables students to organize ideas, communicate reasoning, and transform abstract concepts into visual, verbal, and symbolic forms. In plane geometry, particularly quadrilaterals, many students experience difficulties in drawing accurate figures, linking geometric properties to formulas, and translating contextual problems into mathematical models. In addition to cognitive challenges, affective factors such as low perseverance and the tendency to give up easily indicate the need to strengthen students’ mathematical resilience. This study aimed to develop a group investigation–based mathematics e-comic for quadrilateral topics at the junior high school level and to examine its feasibility and effectiveness. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The product was validated by subject-matter experts and media experts and implemented with 32 seventh-grade students at SMP NU Darul Ma’arif. Data were collected through validation sheets, teacher and student response questionnaires, and learning evaluations. The results indicate that the developed e-comic meets high feasibility criteria and receives positive responses from teachers and students. The integration of narrative visuals with group investigation activities enhances engagement, supports students’ understanding of quadrilateral concepts, and encourages active participation and discussion. Therefore, the proposed e-comic is suitable as an alternative learning medium for junior high school mathematics instruction.
