Abstract

Drug abuse continues to be a significant public health issue, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia, with increasing prevalence among the productive age group. This study develops and analyzes a compartmental mathematical model, SAHTR (Susceptible, Addicted-Lighter, Addicted-Heavier, Treatment, Recovery), using a nonlinear system of differential equations to simulate the dynamics of drug abuse spread and recovery. The model integrates an optimal control approach to evaluate the effectiveness of two intervention strategies: anti-drug campaigns and psychological counseling. Numerical simulations were carried out using the Runge-Kutta 4th order method, focusing on the sensitivity analysis of two key parameters: the rate of social transmission (β) and rehabilitation success rate (γ₂). The results show that while the β parameter influences the initial decline of the susceptible population, its long-term impact is relatively minimal. In contrast, the γ₂ parameter significantly affects the dynamics of the recovery compartment, indicating that improving rehabilitation efficiency can substantially reduce system burden and accelerate the return of individuals to a drug-free state. These findings suggest that intervention strategies should prioritize enhancing the quality and accessibility of rehabilitation programs, including structured therapy and post-recovery support. Moreover, social influence control alone is insufficient without being complemented by preventive and community-based approaches. Overall, this study contributes to evidence-based policymaking by demonstrating the value of mathematical modeling in understanding and combating drug abuse effectively.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the difference in students' conceptual understanding of quadratic equations between those taught with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model and those taught with direct instruction. It was motivated by students' low conceptual understanding in mathematics, largely caused by the dominance of teacher-centered learning. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample comprised two grade IX classes selected through cluster sampling, namely one experimental and one control class, each consisting of 30 students. Data were collected through an essay-type conceptual understanding test validated by experts. Normality (Shapiro-Wilk) and homogeneity (Levene) tests were run using SPSS, while the hypothesis was tested with an Independent Samples T-Test at a 0.05 significance level. The results showed a t-value of 4.838, greater than the t-table value of 1.671, so H0 was rejected and H1 accepted. The experimental class mean post-test score (74.17) exceeded that of the control class (69.93). Thus, students taught with PBL achieved better conceptual understanding of quadratic equations, suggesting PBL is an effective alternative for mathematics learning.
