Abstract

Critical thinking skills are essential competencies in mathematics education, enabling students to analyze problems, evaluate information, and construct logical arguments. However, students’ critical thinking abilities are often underdeveloped due to the dominance of teacher-centered instructional practices. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in enhancing students’ critical thinking skills in mathematics at SMP Negeri 29 Makassar. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest model. The participants consisted of 32 students. Data were collected through a critical thinking test administered before and after the implementation of the PjBL model. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills. The mean score increased from 62.34 in the pretest to 84.12 in the posttest. The paired sample t-test showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05), indicating the effectiveness of the intervention. Furthermore, the N-Gain value of 0.58 was categorized as moderate, suggesting a meaningful level of improvement. These findings indicate that the implementation of the Project-Based Learning model effectively enhances students’ critical thinking skills by promoting active engagement, collaboration, and reflective learning. Therefore, PjBL can be considered a suitable instructional approach for fostering higher-order thinking skills in mathematics education.

Abstract

Students’ mathematical literacy remains relatively low, particularly in understanding, modeling, and solving contextual problems. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of metacognitive scaffolding in mathematics instruction to improve students’ mathematical literacy. A quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design was employed, conducted at MA Arifah Gowa, involving two classes consisting of 30 students each. The experimental group received instruction integrated with metacognitive scaffolding, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. The instruments included a mathematical literacy test and an observation sheet of metacognitive activities. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that the mean pretest scores of the experimental and control groups were 41.27 and 40.85, respectively, indicating comparable initial abilities. After the treatment, the mean posttest score of the experimental group increased to 78.45 (high category), while the control group reached 61.32 (medium category). The difference in improvement between the two groups was 17.13 points. The independent t-test revealed that t = 4.276 > 1.67 with p = 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the groups. These findings indicate that metacognitive scaffolding facilitates students’ ability to plan, monitor, and evaluate their thinking processes, leading to better problem-solving performance and more consistent learning outcomes. Metacognitive scaffolding is therefore an effective instructional approach for enhancing students’ mathematical literacy.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of PISA-based mathematical literacy on students’ mathematical problem-solving ability in terms of prior mathematical knowledge. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of 60 students enrolled in a Basic Statistics course in the Actuarial Science study program at Universitas Negeri Makassar. The data were collected through tests of mathematical literacy, problem-solving ability, and prior mathematical knowledge. Data were analyzed using multiple regression with an interaction term. The results show that PISA-based mathematical literacy has a significant positive effect on students’ problem-solving ability (β = 0.528; Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05). Prior mathematical knowledge also has a significant effect (β = 0.347; Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05). Furthermore, there is a significant interaction between mathematical literacy and prior knowledge (β = 0.015; Sig. = 0.015 < 0.05), indicating that the effect of mathematical literacy is stronger among students with higher prior knowledge. These findings suggest that integrating PISA-based tasks and considering students’ prior knowledge are essential for improving mathematical problem-solving ability.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between mathematical literacy and students’ problem-solving ability in mathematics learning. Mathematical literacy is considered a fundamental competency that enables students to interpret, formulate, and apply mathematical concepts in various real-life contexts, while problem-solving ability reflects students’ capacity to understand, plan, execute, and evaluate solutions to mathematical problems. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The study was conducted at MA Arifah Gowa, involving 60 secondary school students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using two instruments: a mathematical literacy test and a problem-solving ability test. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The results show that students’ mathematical literacy has a mean score of 65.25 (SD = 10.12), indicating a moderate level, while problem-solving ability has a mean score of 82.40 (SD = 6.85), indicating a relatively high level. The correlation analysis reveals a significant positive relationship between mathematical literacy and problem-solving ability (r = 0.68, p < 0.05). These findings indicate that students with higher mathematical literacy tend to demonstrate better performance in solving mathematical problems. Mathematical literacy plays a crucial role in supporting students’ ability to understand problem contexts, select appropriate strategies, and interpret solutions effectively. However, the moderate level of literacy suggests that students may still rely on procedural approaches rather than deep conceptual understanding. In conclusion, enhancing mathematical literacy is essential for improving students’ problem-solving ability. Therefore, mathematics instruction should emphasize contextual understanding, reasoning, and application to foster more meaningful learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an innovative learning media called “Detective Data” as a tool to enhance students’ motivation and understanding in learning statistics, particularly the concepts of mean, median, and mode. The development of this media was driven by findings indicating that many students perceive statistics as abstract and uninteresting. Therefore, the Project-Based Learning approach was combined with gamification elements to create an investigative learning experience through real data collection activities and statistical analysis. The research was conducted with 33 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 33 Makassar. A descriptive approach with a limited trial was employed, using observation sheets, student response questionnaires, and product assessment rubrics as instruments. The results showed that the use of “Detective Data” successfully increased students’ learning motivation, engagement in the learning process, and their ability to analyze data. The investigative posters produced by students demonstrated a solid understanding of data presentation and statistical analysis. Thus, this media can be effectively implemented as a project-based learning tool for statistics instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the effectiveness of the Algebra Number Mystery Box (MBAA) as an interactive, group-based game learning media in enhancing students’ learning motivation and understanding of algebra concepts at the Junior High School level. MBAA is designed as an educational media that combines elements of mystery and challenge in the form of games, thereby encouraging active engagement of students both individually and in groups. The study was conducted through a trial of the learning media with 33 students, collecting data through observations of enthusiasm, learning motivation, social interaction, as well as assessments of algebra concept comprehension before and after using MBAA. The results show that the use of MBAA significantly improves learning motivation, active participation in group activities, and social interaction among students, while creating a more enjoyable and challenging learning experience. Further analysis reveals that the combination of mystery and collaborative elements supports the principles of gamification and constructivist theory, which emphasize active, experience-based learning. In conclusion, MBAA has the potential as an innovative solution to address challenges in mathematics learning, particularly in algebra at the junior high school level. This study recommends further development to enhance accessibility, activity variation, and integration with digital technology to broaden the effectiveness of this learning media in wider educational contexts

Abstract

Mathematics education students continue to struggle with the complex notion of spatial geometry. Therefore, learning approaches should incorporate strong conceptual understanding. This study examined the effectiveness of flipped classroom-based geometry learning combined with metacognitive scaffolding in developing students’ spatial ability. It also identified students’ spatial knowledge needs, types of metacognitive questions posed by the teacher, and forms of scaffolding used. A mixed-methods design was employed, consisting of an exploratory qualitative phase followed by a quasi-experimental phase. The qualitative phase explored key spatial knowledge demands and scaffolding patterns through questionnaires and interviews, while the quasi-experimental phase compared three instructional conditions: flipped classroom with metacognitive scaffolding, flipped classroom without scaffolding, and conventional instruction. Results indicated that students needed four types of spatial geometry knowledge: 3D coordinate representation, geometric transformation, spatial visualization, and angle–distance relationships. Teachers’ metacognitive questions mainly emphasized awareness of understanding, while conceptual scaffolding was more dominant than metacognitive scaffolding. Quantitatively, students in the flipped classroom with metacognitive scaffolding showed greater improvements in spatial ability. These findings suggest integrating self-directed learning and metacognitive support in geometry learning that requires advanced visualization and independent thinking.
