Abstract

Motivated by the poor numeracy skills of primary school students in Manggarai Regency, this study examines teachers’ perceptions and experiences of implementing the Gasing method in mathematics classrooms, unlike previous studies that focused mainly on its impact on learning outcomes. The study aimed to describe teachers’ perceptions of using the method in the Langke Rembong sub-district. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through interviews and questionnaires; qualitative data were analysed using the Miles and Huberman model, while questionnaire data were analysed by percentage. The results indicate that most teachers perceive the Gasing method as effective in enhancing quick counting skills and understanding of basic mathematical concepts, although challenges remain in terms of limited training, diverse student readiness, and time constraints. These findings highlight the importance of teacher roles and institutional support in sustaining learning innovations, and suggest that the Gasing method has potential as an effective strategy for improving numeracy instruction in primary schools.

Abstract

The linguistic functions used in textbooks strengthen students' understanding of how gender representation is expressed. This study aims to examine the power of gender-based language functions in an English book. This manuscript incorporates a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through content analysis in examining gender representation and the variety of language functions. Data were analyzed in three stages: identification, categorization, and interpretation, aimed at determining the patterns of gender representation and the use of language functions in textbooks. The results showed that males were represented at a higher rate (54.13%) than females (45.87%) based on criteria for measuring gender representation, including pictorial illustrations, characters, gender mentions, role models, activities, and patterns of referencing females and males. A number of the six types of language functions used by the authors in their books, namely Referential, Emotive, Conative, Phatic, Metalingual, and Poetic, represent the highest female gender compared to the other five types. These findings conclude that language functions play a substantial role in shaping gender representation, promoting established beliefs about the roles of men and women. This study broadens applied linguistics in education by showing how textbook constructs of language proficiency shape students' perspectives on social consciousness and gender identity.
