Abstract

This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach aimed at evaluating students' conceptual understanding in solving similarity and congruence problems at SMP Negeri Oelneke. The subjects of the study were ninth-grade students. The results of the conceptual understanding test show that 29.4% of the students fall into the low ability category, 41.1% into the moderate ability category, and 29.4% into the high ability category. These results indicate that the majority of students at SMP Negeri Oelneke demonstrate a moderate level of conceptual understanding. The students face difficulties in solving the problems due to a lack of understanding of the given problems, which prevents them from providing optimal responses.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the shift in the educational paradigm toward technology-integrated learning and addresses the disparity in facilities between urban and border area schools. It aimed to determine the effect of Photomath on students' cognitive abilities and to assess their attitudes, motivation, belief, and readiness towards its use in a border area school. The instruments employed were pretest, posttest, and questionnaire. This research serves as an initial study on the use of technology in schools located in border areas. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. The qualitative analysis of student responses was facilitated by Photomath, while the quantitative method followed a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. The findings showed a 36.25% improvement in algebra test scores. Students’ learning motivation reached 82.97% (very strong), belief in Photomath was 88.13% (very strong), and readiness to use the Photomath was 78.97% (strong). After using Photomath, students understood each stage of solving algebra problems better, indicating that Photomath supported their learning process. The implication is that integrating Photomath in border-area schools provides valuable support for students, particularly in self-directed learning.

Abstract

Peluncuran Kurikulum Merdeka di Indonesia telah menandai perubahan penting dalam sektor pendidikan, khususnya bagi para guru matematika di Kabupaten Timor Tengah Utara. Tantangan baru dan peluang untuk pengembangan profesional ini menuntut pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang kurikulum dan adaptasi metode pengajaran yang sesuai. Untuk mendukung transisi ini, sebuah program pelatihan khusus telah dirancang, bertujuan untuk memperdalam pemahaman guru tentang berbagai aspek Kurikulum Merdeka dan meningkatkan keterampilan praktis mereka dalam penerapannya. Melalui diskusi interaktif dan tugas-tugas kreatif, fokus pelatihan diberikan pada pengembangan Alur Tujuan Pembelajaran (ATP) dan modul pembelajaran yang inovatif, mendorong pendekatan pengajaran yang lebih efektif dan kreatif. Hasilnya, terlihat peningkatan signifikan dalam kemampuan guru untuk menerapkan strategi dan metode yang diajarkan, menciptakan lingkungan pembelajaran yang lebih dinamis dan menarik. Kemajuan ini tidak hanya memperkuat keterampilan pedagogis guru tetapi juga meningkatkan kualitas pengalaman belajar siswa, memberikan dampak positif pada pengajaran matematika secara umum.

Abstract

Reasoning is needed by students to solve trigonometry problems that are considered difficult to solve. So, the researcher conducted a study to determine students' mathematical reasoning skills in solving trigonometric problems. This type of research is descriptive research with qualitative methods. The subjects of this study were 3 students of class XII in one of the senior high schools in North Central Timor district. Data collection techniques were test questions and interviews. From the results of the study, it was concluded that high category mathematical reasoning ability was able to fulfill 4 reasoning indicators, medium category mathematical reasoning ability was able to fulfill 2 reasoning indicators, while low category reasoning ability only fulfilled 1 reasoning ability indicator.

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to reveal the mathematical concepts embedded in the weaving activities of Buna woven-cloth artisans in Letmafo Village, Central Insana District, North Central Timor Regency. This research employed a qualitative ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation with three main informants: a traditional leader and two experienced weavers. Data analysis used domain, taxonomy, componential, and cultural-theme stages. The findings show that weaving activities contain mathematical elements such as counting (the number of threads and repeated patterns), measuring (length and width of the cloth using non-standard units such as hand-span), and designing (forming geometric patterns such as squares, triangles, rhombuses, and lines of symmetry). Ethnomathematics in the Buna motif reflects an integration between local culture and mathematical concepts of geometry and number patterns that can be used as contextual learning resources.

Abstract

Definisi limit fungsi menggunakan  dan  yang bersifat abstrak sangat sulit dipahami oleh mahasiswa yang baru pertama kali berusaha untuk memahaminya. Definisi ini dipakai dalam pembuktian limit untuk menghilangkan bias subjektifitas dari definisi limit secara intuitif. Kesulitan memahami konsep yang tepat mengenai limit berdampak pada rendahnya kemampuan mahasiswa mengkonstruksi bukti. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan media pembelajaran berbasis GeoGebra pada materi limit fungsi yang memenuhi kriteria valid, praktis, dan efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan mahasiswa dalam menyusun pembuktian. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah Research & Development (R&D) dengan menerapkan model pengembangan ADDIE, yang terdiri dari tahap Analisis, Desain, Pengembangan, Implementasi, dan Evaluasi.  Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada semester genap tahun akademik 2023-2024 dengan partisipan mahasiswa program studi Pendidikan Matematika Universitas Timor yang mengikuti mata kuliah Kalkulus. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini meliputi lembar validasi ahli, angket respons mahasiswa, serta tes untuk mengukur kemampuan mahasiswa dalam menyusun pembuktian pada materi limit fungsi.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa media pembelajaran yang dikembangkan telah terbukti valid, praktis, dan efektif dalam meningkatkan keterampilan mahasiswa dalam mengonstruksi bukti pada materi limit fungsi. Media pembelajaran berbasis GeoGebra ini siap untuk diterapkan dalam proses pembelajaran Kalkulus dan Analisis Real.
