The mission of positive psychology is to mitigate negative emotions while bolstering positive ones, thereby influencing student engagement in classroom learning activities, including mathematics. This study elucidates the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach within the framework of Islamic teachings—specifically, inheritance law and charity—in the context of fractions and number operations. Its objective is to alleviate mathematics anxiety, a prevalent negative emotion, and enhance well-being during mathematical learning. Drawing upon flow theory from positive psychology, the research endeavors to optimize mathematical well-being by crafting appropriately challenging questions. Employing a descriptive qualitative methodology, the study focuses on an Indonesian mother and her ten-year-old son, residing in Uithoorn, Amsterdam, Netherlands, belonging to minority groups in ethnicity and identity, with religion being a significant aspect of their lives. Data collection involves observation, interviews, tests, and documentation, with analysis employing data reduction, presentation, triangulation, and verification techniques. The study utilizes socio-religious problems as a context, one of the characteristics of RME, such as inheritance division, to design mathematical challenges. The findings demonstrate a marked transition from math anxiety to math well-being, manifested through heightened enthusiasm and cheerfulness in learning mathematics, particularly by the mother. Noteworthy transformations include increased engagement, generous gestures towards the teacher, and frequent smiling, contrasting with previous instances of math anxiety during learning sessions. Furthermore, the results indicate that RME facilitates comprehension of mathematical concepts and fosters understanding of the intersection between mathematics and Islamic life among minority groups, as detailed in this article.

Recognising the pivotal role of effective teaching practices in enhancing student learning outcomes, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has outlined a comprehensive framework of key strategies. However, empirical research on these practices remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the extent to which mathematics teachers apply NCTM-identified effective teaching practices and examine potential differences attributable to teachers' gender and teaching experience. Adopting a quantitative approach and employing a descriptive survey, the study systematically assessed eight designated practices using a validated observation checklist in the Jazan Education Administration, observing 38 mathematics teachers during routine classes. The results indicated a moderate level of implementation overall, with ten practices demonstrating high application. Statistical analyses found no significant differences in practice implementation based on gender or teaching experience at the .05 level. The limitations included the study's relatively small sample size, potentially limiting generalisability, and the observational nature of the checklist, which may not fully capture nuanced teaching dynamics. Future research could focus on developing training initiatives to enhance educators' application of NCTM-recommended practices and undertake qualitative inquiries to understand barriers to integration and teachers' attitudes towards these practices. Finally, this study contributes to the discourse on effective mathematics teaching by providing empirical insights into current practices and highlighting avenues for further investigation and professional development in educational settings.

Mathematical problem-solving ability is a critical skill required to meet the challenges of the 21st century, making it imperative for Indonesian students to master these skills. However, international assessments have consistently shown that Indonesian students' competencies, particularly in mathematical problem-solving, remain low. Research attributes this deficiency to the lack of connections between mathematical concepts and real-life applications, which are essential for enhancing problem-solving skills. On the other hand, Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is a learning approach that emphasizes the integration of real-world contexts in learning activities and has been shown to improve these skills. Therefore, this study aims to develop a student worksheet based on the RME approach to enhance students' problem-solving abilities. The development process followed the ADDIE model, which includes the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Various research and development instruments were employed, including validation by material and media experts, student assessments of the electronic worksheets, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. Data collection methods encompassed both non-test and test techniques. The results demonstrate that the developed student worksheets are valid, practical, and effective. The validity was confirmed by high average scores from material and media expert validators, categorizing the worksheets as valid. Practicality was supported by positive student assessments, placing the worksheets in the practical category. These findings indicate that the developed worksheets significantly enhance students' problem-solving abilities. This study provides empirical evidence supporting the effectiveness of the RME approach in improving mathematical problem-solving skills among Indonesian students. It also offers a theoretical and practical framework for advancing mathematics education in Indonesia, advocating for the adoption of learning approaches that better address the demands of the 21st century. Detailed analysis of the product's acceptability and impact will be discussed further in the paper.

Purpose – Boarding schools in Indonesia integrate Islamic religious education with general education, offering a comprehensive learning and living experience for students. This model is effective in character building, moral value reinforcement, tolerance promotion, social integrity, and responsibility, all while emphasizing knowledge and technology mastery. However, these schools face challenges, including high costs, geographical barriers, and stringent academic requirements that limit accessibility for some students. This research underscores the need for management transformation in boarding schools to enhance accessibility and education quality while preserving the unique values and identity of pesantren. Design/methods/approach – Utilizing a literature review methodology, this study critically summarizes and evaluates relevant research to provide a comprehensive understanding of the transformation of boarding school management in Indonesia. Findings – The findings indicate that boarding schools must adapt to socio-cultural contexts and incorporate information and communication technology into management and learning processes. The study also reveals that parental involvement, effective management, and support for students' mental and physical health are crucial for the success of boarding schools. Research implications/limitations – Future research should focus on integrating ICT to improve educational outcomes and administrative efficiency, assessing holistic education models, evaluating economic empowerment programs, and examining mental health initiatives, as well as exploring collaborative efforts to enhance community engagement and support for students. Originality/value – Strengthening pesantren culture can address issues such as bullying, poor nutrition, and financial difficulties. Transformational management practices can meet the evolving educational needs and dynamic desires of parents and students while maintaining the core values of pesantren in Indonesia.
