Abstract

The government plans to introduce programming languages, commonly called coding. Students must be able to understand how to program an application and not only be a user but it is expected that students have the provision to develop the technology. The utilization of technology encourages humans to use it for the right things. The participatory method is carried out through four stages: focus group discussion (FGD), socialization, training, and evaluation. The subjects of this PKM are teachers and 7th-grade junior high school students in Yogyakarta. Grade 7 students are expected to start learning programming languages as early as possible. Using the Python application, students can learn programming for math learning. Math is often considered a difficult lesson; with this training, students become happy to explore. The training conducted can be used to learn the basics of Python and create formulas to calculate the area of flat buildings.

Abstract

Low student interest remains a persistent issue in mathematics education. This study investigated the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach in enhancing students’ interest in learning mathematics. The research involved all students from a public junior high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using a quasi-experimental design, two eighth-grade classes were selected as the experimental and control groups, with 34 students in each class. Data were collected through a learning-interest questionnaire and classroom observations. The questionnaire employed a Likert scale and was administered before and after the treatment. Instrument validity was examined using the Pearson Product Moment correlation, while reliability was tested through Cronbach’s Alpha. The findings indicated that CTL significantly improved students’ learning interest compared with the conventional expository approach. Students in the experimental class showed greater enthusiasm, participation, and engagement during mathematics lessons because the learning activities were connected to real-life situations and meaningful experiences. Statistical analysis using a one-sample t-test and an independent-sample t-test at a 5% significance level confirmed that the increase in learning interest among students taught through CTL was significantly higher than that of students taught through expository instruction.
