Abstract

This study aims to improve the understanding of Mathematics concepts through Geoboard learning media for students with visual disabilities at the SLB-A Karya Murni Education Foundation. This research was conducted at Yayasan Pendidikan SLB-A Karya Murni, which is one of the Junior High Schools (SMP) for students with visual disabilities in Medan City, North Sumatra. In this study using the type of R&D research refers to the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The subjects in this study were seventh grade students of the SLB-A Karya Murni Education Foundation in the 2023/2024 academic year. The product draft in this study has been designed and then validated by 2 experts, namely Material Experts and Media Experts. The results of the initial stage validity test by material experts obtained an average percentage of 46.15% (Less Feasible), Stage two validity test by material experts obtained an average percentage of 88.46% (Very feasible), Stage one validity test by media experts obtained an average percentage of 47.5% (Less feasible), and Stage two validity test by media experts obtained an average percentage of 91.25% (Very Feasible). Understanding of concepts in mathematics learning is obtained from learning activities on flat building material, the results of which are effective assessment with a significant increase in learning outcomes with the category of Nominalised Gain index 0.67 <0.7 classified as (Moderate).This research produces a product in the form of learning media in the form of Geoboard. The Geoboard is feasible to use judging from the percentage obtained in each manufacturing process.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of the Problem Posing learning model and students' attitudes towards mathematics on the critical thinking skills of grade VIII students of SMPN 6 Percut Sei Tuan. Using a quasi-experimental approach with two groups, the experimental group taught using the Problem Posing model and the control group taught using regular learning, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Problem Posing in developing critical thinking skills. Data was collected through critical thinking skills tests (pretest and posttest) and mathematical attitude questionnaires during the odd semester of the 2024/2025 school year. The results of the two-track ANOVA analysis with a significance level of 0.05 showed that the Problem Posing learning model had a significant influence on students' critical thinking skills (F=28.789; sig.=0.000<0.05). Furthermore, students' attitudes towards mathematics which were categorized as high, medium, and low were also proven to have a significant effect on critical thinking skills (F=6.769; sig.=0.000<0.05). However, this study did not find any interaction between the Problem Posing learning model and students' attitudes in influencing critical thinking skills (F=0.658; sig.=0.532>0.05), which indicates that these two variables contribute to influence independently without moderation effects. These findings suggest that the Problem Posing model can effectively improve students' critical thinking skills regardless of their attitude towards mathematics, while a positive attitude towards mathematics in general contributes to better critical thinking skills.
