Abstract

The problems that occur in learning outcomes are generally influenced by learning activities that are less interactive and less interesting so as to reduce student motivation and enthusiasm, which is caused by the learning methods and styles used in the classroom. Based on observations at SMAN 8 Malang, it is known that the implementation of mathematics learning is still one-way and students are only involved in doing assignments. This has an impact on the results of the assessment carried out by the teacher in learning mathematics. To improve student learning outcomes, effective and relevant learning methods are needed in accordance with the lesson plans that have been prepared. The approach and learning model that aims to provide solutions to overcome the challenges of improving learning outcomes is the Weekly Project of Problems (W-PoP) Scheme with the TARL Approach. The research method used is Classroom Action Research with data collection techniques consisting of initial assessment, observation, written tests, interviews, and questionnaires.  Through this research, an increase in the percentage of student learning completeness was obtained in the summative assessment in cycle 2 which reached 79%, an increase of 32% compared to the summative assessment in cycle 1 and an increase of 38% from the pre-cycle. The average score of all students also increased significantly in each cycle. Thus, the application of the Weekly Project of Problems (W-PoP) with the TARL Approach can provide equal opportunities for students to receive learning materials and have equality in getting treatment in learning to gain understanding abilities to improve student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) learning is a learning method that refers to the level of achievement and ability of the learners themselves. The researcher aims to increase students' interest in learning and ability to understand concepts so that it can overcome the problems that have been observed in Class VII A Wahid Hasyim Junior High School. The stages used by researchers in applying Teaching at the Right Level are learning analysis, diagnostic assessment, application of teaching modules, mapping of students, application of TaRL activities, assessment of students' processes, and evaluation of learning activities. The type of research used by this researcher uses a classroom action research method with a participatory approach. The results of observations of researcher activities in the implementation of cycle II actions carried out by observer I and observer II showed percentage values reaching 97% and 96% which were categorized as very good. Meanwhile, in cycle II action research that analyzed the results of observations of student activities, observer I gave an assessment of 98% and observer II gave an assessment of 96% which was also categorized as very good.  At the end of cycle II, the test results of students reached 19 students or around 86% of students were complete. So, it is concluded that the application of Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) learning can increase learning interest and concept understanding in students of class VII A Wahid Hasyim Junior High School.

Abstract

The negative perception that mathematics is abstract and rote-oriented leads to low student engagement and cognitive development. This study examines ethnomathematics as a contextual approach that connects formal mathematics with student culture. This study aims to describe the implementation of ethnomathematics, changes in student perceptions, and stimulation of cognitive development. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the study location in the seventh grade of Khairunnas Junior High School. Data were collected through in-depth participatory observation, field notes, interviews, and analysis of learning artifacts. Data analysis was conducted using Spradley's qualitative analysis model. The findings show that the success of implementation is influenced by the teacher's readiness to adapt a contextual approach. Through mentoring, teachers successfully deconstructed the perception that mathematics and culture cannot dialogue, shifting from simply matching formulas to contextual learning adjustments relevant to students' experiences. Students showed more positive changes in their perceptions of mathematics. Students saw mathematics as a skill relevant to their daily experiences. Empirically, ethnomathematics has been proven to improve students' cognitive levels. Cognitive abilities increased from C2 to C3–C4, as observed and confirmed by final assessment results. Ethnomathematics not only increased interest and motivation to learn but also fundamentally stimulated students' cognitive development toward higher-level thinking skills. The results of the study indicate that the integration of local culture has the potential to improve the quality of mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study explores the micro-process dynamics of students in applying heuristic strategies to arithmetic sequence word problems through a qualitative case study. Using Think Aloud with the subject YD, the results show a paradox between procedural fluency with formulas and cognitive failure when switching to manual strategies. This transition triggers cognitive overload and representational misconceptions, where the subject is distracted by visuals, resulting in inconsistent answers. This study concludes that without a solid conceptual foundation, heuristic instruction risks weakening students' confidence and triggering logical errors, leading to a loss of focus in their work.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the urgency of the phenomenon of cognitive overload, which often triggers a phase of impasse or mental block in students when solving contextual mathematics problems. This condition causes students to often rush to apply irrelevant calculation procedures without analyzing the structure of the problem, resulting in strategic failure. This study aims to describe in depth the dynamics of students' metacognition, particularly the monitoring and control functions, and to analyze the effectiveness of visualization strategies in reducing this cognitive load. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a descriptive-exploratory design. The research subjects included junior high school students who were tested on their ability to solve PISA-type questions. Data collection was carried out using the Think Aloud Protocol (TAP) technique to record students' mental processes and verbalizations in real time when they encountered a deadlock. Data analysis techniques were carried out systematically through the stages of verbal data transcription, data reduction, visual presentation, and conclusion drawing, which were validated through interview triangulation. The results showed that the monitoring of metacognitive function plays a vital role as an early detection mechanism that helps students recognize anomalies between their tentative answers and the logic of the problem. Furthermore, the control strategy through image visualization proved effective in reducing extraneous cognitive load, enabling students to transform abstract representations into concrete ones and find the turning point for solving the problem. In addition to improving cognitive accuracy, successfully overcoming this impasse phase simultaneously increases students' self-efficacy or self-confidence. These findings recommend the importance of integrating metacognitive interventions in learning to build students' mathematical resilience.
