Abstract

Geometry, particularly three-dimensional (3D) geometry, is often perceived by students as abstract and difficult, resulting in low engagement and interest. Addressing this issue, the present study aimed to design interactive learning media using GeoGebra integrated with Student Worksheets to enhance students’ interest in learning 3D geometry. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, encompassing the stages of needs analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The participants were 30 students from a public high school in Cianjur, Indonesia, who were involved in mathematics instruction on 3D geometry topics. Data were collected through student response questionnaires assessing the usability and effectiveness of the developed media. The findings indicate that the GeoGebra-based Student Worksheet media met validity and practicality criteria, with students responding positively to its use. They reported that the interactive features of the media facilitated better conceptual visualization and significantly increased their interest in learning. Furthermore, implementation strategies—such as teacher demonstrations, collaborative group work, and guided class discussions—proved effective in mitigating the abstractness of 3D geometry. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced mathematics instruction by offering a practical and engaging learning solution. The integration of GeoGebra-based Student Worksheets is therefore recommended as an effective pedagogical tool to foster students’ mathematical interest and conceptual understanding, especially in abstract topics like three-dimensional geometry.

Abstract

Background: Problem-solving ability and mathematical disposition are essential skills in mathematics education, particularly in developing critical thinking and practical application among students. Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) have been introduced as an instructional approach aimed at enhancing these skills by integrating real-world problems into learning. However, the effectiveness of MEAs in establishing a significant relationship between problem-solving ability and mathematical disposition remains unclear, necessitating further investigation.Aim: This study aims to analyze the association between problem-solving ability and mathematical disposition after implementing Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) in instruction.Method: This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 30 fifth-grade students from SDN 02 Bojongsari, Depok, Indonesia, as participants. Data were collected using a problem-solving ability test and a mathematical disposition questionnaire. Subsequently, the data analysis was carried out using chi-square tests.Result: The results of the study showed that the χ2 value of 0.731 is less than α = 0.947, indicating that there is no significant relationship between mathematical problem-solving ability and mathematical disposition.Conclusion: The study concluded that no association was found between problem-solving ability and mathematical disposition among elementary school students after implementing MEAs in instruction. Additionally, although there is a tendency for students with a high mathematical disposition to demonstrate stronger problem-solving skills, this correlation is not strong enough to be considered significant

Abstract

The entropy formula, created by Claude E. Shannon using probability calculations, is an essential and objective measurement method used in multi-criteria decision-making. The purpose this study was to evaluate the problems experienced by mathematics teachers during the Covid-19 and the degree of importance of these problems were determined. Expert opinions were used to identify the problems. In the study, the ‘Entropy’ method was used to determine the degree of importance of the problems. After determining the problems, a questionnaire was applied to 22 teachers working in different geographical regions of Turkey and with different service lengths. According to the entropy results, it has been determined that the most critical problem faced by mathematics teachers in the distance education process is the ‘communication problem’ between students and teachers. In conclusion, mathematics teachers must find the right learning method to overcome communication problems so that in the future, distance learning will not experience obstacles.

Abstract

Background: The socio-economic background of students plays an important role in shaping their mathematics skills, especially when combining mathematical ideas with learning physical electronics. However, many engineering programs do not consider students' earlier school experiences when they are admitted. Factors like family background, the type of school they went to, and their age are some reasons why it is difficult to connect mathematics to their learning in physical electronics.Aim: This research aims to study how the socio-economic background of students affects their academic performance when they bring mathematical ideas into physical electronics education.Method: The study focused on university students taking a physical electronics course in South Africa. A mixed-method approach was used, including semi-structured surveys and interviews, to collect students' opinions about combining mathematics with physical electronics.Results: The results show that students' socio-economic backgrounds affect how well they can use mathematics in their learning. The findings include: 1) Students had different levels of preparation in mathematics and physics; 2) Performance differences were found between students from rural and urban schools, 3) Those with basic knowledge of mathematics and physics performed better when combining these concepts with physical electronics.Conclusion: This study found that connecting mathematics to physical electronics helps students understand concepts better. It also introduces a model called the Socio-Economic Based Practical Reward Mathematics Integrative Model (SEB-PRMIM), which is designed to reduce the effects of socio-economic differences and improve mathematics integration in engineering education.

Abstract

The low proficiency of Mathematics Education students in constructing mathematical proofs, especially using the principle of mathematical induction, highlights the need for enhanced learning approaches. One promising method is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the proof process within Real Analysis courses. This study aims to describe how students carry out mathematical induction proofs with the assistance of AI. Ten voluntary students enrolled in Real Analysis participated in an initial test involving divisibility problem. From this group, two students were selected through maximum variation sampling based on their answer diversity and communication skills. One student employed a modulo-based approach, while the other used the divisibility-definition concept. Overall, the results demonstrate that AI significantly supports students in understanding problems, planning proofs, implementing strategies, and revising their reasoning. AI played a critical role in concept generation, solution evaluation, and embedded reflection across each stage of Polya’s problem-solving framework, combined with the three aspects of AI-assisted proof: construction, evaluation, and revision

Abstract

Learning interest is a psychological drive that allows students to learn something consciously, calmly, and with discipline. A lack of learning interest was observed in one school in West Jakarta. This is a significant issue as learning interest directly impacts the quality of education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the application of a GeoGebra-assisted problem-based learning (PBL) model to enhance the learning interest of eighth-grade junior high school students. Additionally, the paper will discuss the application of this GeoGebra-assisted PBL model from a Christian perspective. This research utilizes a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation sheets, lesson plans, and teacher reflection sheets. The analysis of the research data demonstrates the positive effect of the GeoGebra-assisted PBL model on learning interest. This is evidenced by observed changes in student behavior that align with the indicators of learning interest. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the GeoGebra-assisted PBL model can foster and strengthen students' learning interest. The PBL model offers a platform for student exploration, with GeoGebra acting as a supportive tool. The diverse features of GeoGebra facilitate the learning process, thereby fostering a sense of enjoyment and interest. However, due to certain limitations in its application, educators must guide students in its use.

Abstract

Number patterns were one of the mathematical concepts that were studied in junior high school. This concept was useful, but students tended to experience problems when learning it. Quite a lot of research has studied number patterns, but not many have attempted to study alternative solutions to optimize problem-solving abilities and learning motivation, especially using lesson study activities based on didactical design research. Therefore, this research aimed to optimize students’ problem-solving abilities and learning motivation with the preparation of didactic designs through lesson study activities. This research was conducted at a private junior high school in Mataram, Indonesia. Participants in this research were ten class VIII students (six boys and four girls). The researcher was the main instrument, with several additional instruments, such as learning design, observation sheets on problem-solving abilities and learning motivation, as well as documentation studies. The data were analyzed using qualitative data analysis. The research results revealed that the number pattern learning design was able to optimize problem-solving abilities and student learning motivation. Several factors that caused these positive results were the existence of contextual problems as trigger situations in learning and learning activities adapted to students’ hobbies. The recommendation from this research was that learning design should be prepared using didactical design research based on lesson study.

Abstract

This paper sought to determine if the Basic School Mathematics learning experience has any influence on the individual when it comes to program selection in higher education and career choice. The researcher employed a qualitative approach in order to obtain detailed information about the topic. This led to the adoption of the Narrative Paradigm, where one experienced person was interviewed to obtain first-hand information for analysis. It was revealed if a student develops an interest in mathematics at Basic School it improves their performance. More so such a student is more likely to enroll in mathematics-related courses as he or she moves higher on the academic ladder. It was also observed that if teachers adopt methods of teaching that are learner-centered, it motivates the learner to learn mathematics as an integral part of life but not as abstract information that needs to be chewed. The study confirmed that mathematics has various applications in the workplace, and knowledge of mathematics can be self-gratifying. The study makes the following recommendations; even though students learn as a group, the teacher must focus on the individual learners by giving them extra attention, teachers must be interested in what the students learn after school, and teachers must keep parents and guardians informed about the academic achievements progress of their wards.
