Abstract

One of the primary objectives of education is to facilitate the cultivation and realization of an individual's inherent capabilities and talents. Human resource development (HR) is a key aspect of development policy within the education sector. Its primary objective is to enhance the academic capabilities and professional competence of teachers while also ensuring improved welfare provisions for educators. Teachers are required to exhibit a consistent level of professionalism in the execution of their responsibilities, including the essential skill of doing scholarly research. Empirical evidence indicates that many educators continue to require support in scientific publication production and implementation. Consequently, there is a pressing need for targeted and well-organized help to address this requirement. Hence, the primary objective of this service initiative is to offer support to aspiring teacher candidates while also fostering the motivation of teaching faculty to engage in writing and assembling scholarly publications. The employed methodologies encompass analysis, observation, mentoring, training, and assessment. The training program emphasizes developing skills in composing Classroom Action Research (PTK) reports through instructional techniques such as lectures, question-and-answer sessions, discussions, and simulations. The outcomes of this endeavour provide advantages to the individuals undergoing instruction, as it enhances their comprehension and proficiency in composing scholarly publications.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the need for innovative project-based learning media, namely "Pizzaluv-Math," to facilitate students' understanding of the concept of limits of trigonometric functions. "Pizzaluv-Math" integrates mathematical challenges into the pizza-making process, with each pizza ingredient representing a different aspect of the limits of trigonometric functions. This research uses a mixed methods approach consisting of qualitative and quantitative analysis. At the needs analysis stage, semi-structured interviews and classroom observations were conducted with 50 students and ten mathematics teachers from three high schools. The interviews focused on students' experiences with trigonometric functions and their perceptions of the learning process, while the observations aimed to identify specific areas of difficulty in understanding trigonometric function limits. The results of interviews and observations were analyzed using thematic analysis. After developing the learning media, a trial was carried out using a pre-test, a post-test, and a survey to measure the effectiveness of "Pizzaluv-Math." Quantitative data were analyzed using paired t-tests and descriptive statistics. The findings show that many students need help understanding trigonometric function limits and more exciting and interactive learning media. "Pizzaluv-Math" has proven effective in increasing students' understanding of complex mathematical concepts and significantly contributing to mathematics education.
