Abstract

This community service aims to improve the understanding of students of class XI Religious Sciences at MAS Plus Al Ulum Medan on algebraic limit material through the use of Photomath application. This activity was carried out in April 2025 with a total of 32 participants. The implementation method consisted of training on the use of Photomath application, group discussions, and independent exercises carried out for 2 days. Data were collected through questionnaires to find out how much the Photomath application can affect learning in the classroom and an early-late test to see the improvement of learning outcomes by using the Photomath application. Based on the results of the activity, it shows that the use of Photomath application can improve the understanding of the concept of limit algebra, help students follow the steps of solving systematically, and create a more pleasant learning atmosphere. Students' learning outcomes increased from an average student score of 58 to an average student score of 86. The questionnaire results obtained data that 85% of students felt more confident in working on limit problems and 78% of students stated that math learning became more fun.

Abstract

Contemporary approaches to mathematics education play a vital role not only in assessing learning outcomes but also in uncovering the subjective meanings embedded in students’ learning processes. The interpretive paradigm provides a conceptual framework that emphasizes understanding social constructions, personal meanings, and the unique experiences of learners. This paradigm underpins qualitative research in education, particularly when the focus is on in-depth exploration of how students interpret and internalize mathematical concepts. This article aims to review recent literature that applies the interpretive paradigm within the field of mathematics education. Findings indicate that this approach is effective in revealing students’ perceptions of mathematics, their learning strategies, and the emotional and social challenges they encounter throughout the learning process. A literature review of publications from the past five years reveals that the interpretive paradigm enables researchers to gain deeper insights into students’ cognitive and affective domains areas often overlooked by quantitative methods. Predominant methodologies such as in-depth interviews, participatory observation, narrative reflection, and case studies facilitate a holistic and contextualized understanding of learning experiences. Furthermore, this paradigm repositions teachers not merely as transmitters of content, but as facilitators who are attuned to the social, cultural, and psychological backgrounds of their students. The findings from this review offer significant implications for the development of inclusive curricula, reflective and personalized instructional strategies, and more humane, context-sensitive assessment models. In this regard, the interpretive paradigm contributes to shaping a mathematics education system that is more empathetic, relevant, and meaningful for students from diverse backgrounds and with varied learning needs in the modern educational landscape.
