Abstract

Ketidakmampuan dalam melakukan pemodelan matematika dan ketergantungan pada rumus prosedural seringkali menjadi hambatan utama bagi siswa dalam menyelesaikan persoalan logika kuantitatif yang kompleks. Pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan untuk membekali siswa dengan kemampuan berpikir taktis dan efisien, mengingat standar kompetensi akademik tingkat tinggi yang menuntut ketajaman penalaran, bukan sekadar hafalan. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah pendampingan intensif selama 20 pertemuan bagi siswa MAN 1 Kota Gorontalo dengan menerapkan metode Heuristik, yang meliputi teknik eliminasi strategis, substitusi variabel, dan visualisasi masalah. Hasil pengabdian menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan pada kapasitas kognitif siswa, yang tercermin dari kenaikan rata-rata skor pre-test sebesar 30-45 menjadi 85-90 pada post-test. Selain peningkatan nilai secara kuantitatif, siswa menunjukkan perubahan perilaku kognitif yang lebih berani dalam menghadapi soal tipe Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) dan lebih efisien dalam manajemen waktu pengerjaan. Kesimpulannya, penguasaan metode heuristik terbukti efektif menjadi jembatan bagi siswa dalam mentransformasi masalah kuantitatif yang kompleks menjadi solusi yang logis dan terstruktur, sehingga sangat direkomendasikan untuk diterapkan sebagai pengayaan kurikulum di tingkat madrasah.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Social Media Marketing and Word of Mouth on Marketing Promotion with Brand Image as a mediating variable in Flamboyan Gorontalo MSMEs. This study is motivated by the importance of utilizing social media and word of mouth communication in increasing the effectiveness of MSME marketing promotion amidst increasingly competitive business competition. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a survey technique. Data were obtained by distributing questionnaires to consumers who have purchased Flamboyan Gorontalo MSME products. The sampling technique used was accidental sampling. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) through the SmartPLS application. The results of the study indicate that Brand Image has a positive and significant effect on Marketing Promotion. Word of Mouth has a positive and significant effect on Brand Image. Conversely, Social Media Marketing has no significant effect on Brand Image or Marketing Promotion. In addition, Word of Mouth also has no significant effect on Marketing Promotion. The results of the indirect effect test indicate that Brand Image is unable to mediate the effect of Social Media Marketing on Marketing Promotion or the effect of Word of Mouth on Marketing Promotion. The research findings indicate that the success of marketing promotions in the Flamboyan Gorontalo MSME is more determined by the strength of its brand image than by social media marketing activities and direct word-of-mouth communication. This research contributes to the development of digital marketing and brand management literature, and provides input for MSMEs in designing marketing strategies that focus on strengthening brand image to increase the effectiveness of marketing promotions and business competitiveness.
