Abstract

Mathematics problem-solving instruction should promote gender equality in schools. This study examined how gender relates to students' mathematical problem-solving processes in the context of the perimeter and area of plane figures. A descriptive qualitative design was employed to explore how students interpreted problems, selected strategies, and validated their solutions. Seventh-grade students from MTsN 2 Banda Aceh were purposively selected from Class VII-1 based on the results of an initial screening test. The participants consisted of two male and two female students representing high and low levels of problem-solving ability. Data were collected through an open-ended problem-solving test and semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model, and the credibility of the findings was enhanced through time triangulation by administering comparable tasks on different occasions. The findings showed that female students tended to provide more complete representations of the given and required information and were more likely to review the plausibility of their answers. Male students generally performed calculations more quickly but often omitted the checking stage and occasionally skipped intermediate reasoning. Among students with low problem-solving ability, both males and females experienced difficulty planning effective solution strategies and connecting the given information with relevant geometric concepts. Gender differences were more evident in the quality of the problem-solving process than in the final answers. Therefore, mathematics instruction should emphasize explicit problem-solving routines, strategic planning, and systematic checking to support all learners.

Abstract

Rendahnya hasil belajar matematika dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor, baik secara internal maupun secara eksternal. Penyebab yang memungkinkan rendahnya hasil belajar adalah kurangnya berbagai model pembelajaran yang digunakan oleh guru; Pembelajaran masih banyak didominasi oleh guru dan siswa lebih banyak mendengarkan penjelasan dari guru. Akibatnya siswa pasif dan hasil belajarnya menurun. Oleh karena itu, salah satu model pembelajaran yang dapat membuat siswa terlibat secara aktif dalam proses pembelajaran matematika di kelas terutama pada materi SPLDV dengan penerapan model pembelajaran pemecahan masalah. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hasil belajar matematika siswa yang diajarkan dengan model pembelajaran pemecahan masalah lebih tinggi daripada hasil belajar matematika siswa yang diajarkan dengan model pembelajaran langsng. Desain eksperimen yang digunakan adalah Countrol Group Post Test Design. Sampel penelitian yaitu kelas VIII-5 dan VIII-6 di MTsN 1 Aceh Besar. Pengumpulan data menggunakan tes hasil belajar. Dari hasil penelitian diperoleh thitung=3,61 dan ttabel=1,68 maka thitung ttabel, dapat disimpulkan bahwa hasil belajar matematika siswa yang diajarkan dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran pemecahan masalah lebih tinggi dari pada hasil belajar matematika siswa yang diajarkan dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran langsung. The low mathematics learning outcomes were influenced by many factors, both internally and externally. The causes that allow low learning outcomes were the lack of various learning models used by the teacher; Learning was still dominated by teachers and students listen to explanations from the teacher. As a result, students were passive and their learning outcomes declined. Therefore, one of the learning models that can lead students actively involved in the learning process of mathematics in classroom, especially in SPLDV material, was through the implementation of problem solving learning models. This study was aimed to find out the mathematics learning outcomes of students who were taught using problem solving learning models was higher than students' mathematics learning outcomes who were taught using direct learning models. The experimental design used was Control Group Post Test Design. The research samples were class VIII-5 and VIII-6 at MTsN 1 Aceh Besar. The data collection used was the test results. From the results of the study obtained tcount = 3.61 and ttable = 1.68 then tcount> ttable, it can be concluded that the mathematics learning outcomes of students who were taught using problem solving learning models were higher than the mathematics learning outcomes of students who were taught using direct learning models .

Abstract

Mathematical representation ability is an important skill that students must have in learning mathematics. However, based on the results of observations that researchers have conducted, it can be seen that students' mathematical representation ability has not yet developed optimally. Therefore, it is very important to create active learning in order to improve students' mathematical representation ability. One learning model that is thought to be able to solve the problem of students' mathematical representation ability is the AIR learning model. This study aims to determine the mathematical representation ability of students taught with the AIR learning model. The research method used is a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test control group design. Sampling in this study was taken by cluster random sampling. The sample consisted of 22 students in the experimental class and 25 students in the control class. The results showed that the mathematical representation ability of students taught with the AIR model was better than the mathematical representation ability of students taught with the conventional learning model.

Abstract

Students’ low mathematical reasoning skills, particularly regarding abstract concepts such Students’ mathematical reasoning ability in the topic of tangent lines to a circle remains relatively low, particularly in integrating geometric and algebraic concepts. This indicates limitations in students’ conceptual understanding, which may be influenced by the use of conventional teaching methods with minimal visualization. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of GeoGebra in improving high school students’ mathematical reasoning ability. This study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design involving 44 eleventh-grade students’ at SMAN 5 Banda Aceh. The data were analyzed using the Method of Successive Interval (MSI) and an independent sample t-test. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a higher average post-test score (13.13) compared to the control group (11.04). The calculated t-value (5.13) exceeded the critical t-value (2.018), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. Therefore, the use of GeoGebra was proven to be effective in improving students’ mathematical reasoning ability compared to conventional methods. These findings confirm that the integration of technology in geometry learning can create a more interactive learning environment and support the development of students’ logical thinking skills.

Abstract

A teaching module serves as a structured learning tool aligned with the Merdeka Curriculum, designed to meet established competency standards. However, a mathematics teacher in Banda Aceh reported the absence of a curriculum-compliant teaching module specifically addressing triangle-related topics. This study aims to develop a practical and pedagogically appropriate teaching module guided by the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum. Given the nature of data collection, this research adopts a research and development (R&D) approach, employing the ADDIE model for systematic module development. Data were gathered through validation and practicality questionnaires, evaluated by subject matter experts, material experts, and teachers. The findings indicate that the teaching module demonstrates high validity, receiving scores of 95.00% from subject matter experts and 92.13% from material experts. In terms of practicality, the module also achieved strong ratings, with 88.16% from practitioners and 87.74% from students. Consequently, the teaching module is valid, practical, and suitable for implementation in classroom settings, warranting further trials and application in educational practice.
