Abstract

Improving the quality of education in Indonesia continues to be pursued through various curriculum innovations, one of which is the Merdeka Curriculum, emphasizing project-based, flexible, and student centered learning. This study aims to analyze the influence of Merdeka Curriculum implementation on students’ interest in learning mathematics in the Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ) program at SMK Swasta Teladan Pematangsiantar. Learning interest is a critical variable as it contributes significantly to learning effectiveness and academic outcomes, especially in mathematics a subject often perceived as challenging. A quantitative approach was applied using a survey method with a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 65 respondents who had experienced the Merdeka Curriculum for at least one semester. Instrument validity and reliability were tested using SmartPLS, with results showing all constructs met convergent validity (AVE > 0.5) and reliability standards (Composite Reliability > 0.9). The coefficient of determination (R²) reached 0.6405, indicating that the Merdeka Curriculum explains 64.05% of the variance in students’ interest in learning mathematics. Hypothesis testing through bootstrapping revealed a path coefficient of 0.8003, a t-statistic of 19.2392, and a p-value of 0.000, confirming a significant and positive influence. This study concludes that the Merdeka Curriculum effectively enhances students’ interest in learning mathematics, although its success depends on the readiness of teachers, educational facilities, and supportive learning environments.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the geometric concepts of two-dimensional shapes embedded in the traditional Marsitekka game and the architectural structure of Rumah Bolon as representations of ethnomathematics within the Batak Toba culture. The background of this research highlights the importance of contextual and meaningful mathematics learning through the integration of local cultural elements. The research employed a qualitative library research method, where data were collected through a literature review of scholarly journals, academic articles, and related documents. Content analysis was used to identify geometric forms found in the cultural objects under study. The results reveal that the Marsitekka game contains various two-dimensional shapes such as squares, rectangles, semicircles, and triangle variations visible in the game’s layout and the Gaco objects used. Meanwhile, Rumah Bolon features shapes such as isosceles triangles, trapezoids, circles, and rectangles apparent in the roof structure, building façade, and Gorga ornamentation. These findings reinforce that both cultural elements have significant potential as contextual learning media for teaching geometry, particularly two-dimensional shapes, through an ethnomathematical approach. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for developing teaching materials based on local wisdom to enhance students’ understanding and interest in mathematics.
