Abstract

Geometry, particularly three-dimensional (3D) geometry, is often perceived by students as abstract and difficult, resulting in low engagement and interest. Addressing this issue, the present study aimed to design interactive learning media using GeoGebra integrated with Student Worksheets to enhance students’ interest in learning 3D geometry. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, encompassing the stages of needs analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The participants were 30 students from a public high school in Cianjur, Indonesia, who were involved in mathematics instruction on 3D geometry topics. Data were collected through student response questionnaires assessing the usability and effectiveness of the developed media. The findings indicate that the GeoGebra-based Student Worksheet media met validity and practicality criteria, with students responding positively to its use. They reported that the interactive features of the media facilitated better conceptual visualization and significantly increased their interest in learning. Furthermore, implementation strategies—such as teacher demonstrations, collaborative group work, and guided class discussions—proved effective in mitigating the abstractness of 3D geometry. This research contributes to the growing body of literature on technology-enhanced mathematics instruction by offering a practical and engaging learning solution. The integration of GeoGebra-based Student Worksheets is therefore recommended as an effective pedagogical tool to foster students’ mathematical interest and conceptual understanding, especially in abstract topics like three-dimensional geometry.

Abstract

This hermeneutic phenomenological study explores the lived experiences of ten Grade XI students in a private secondary school in West Lombok, Indonesia, regarding technology use in mathematics learning. Through open-ended and closed questionnaires analyzed using Braun and Clarke's six-phase thematic analysis, four primary themes emerged: understanding mathematics, motivation and learning interest, impact on learning outcomes, and learning accessibility. Findings reveal that technology plays a paradoxical role in mathematics education, simultaneously enhancing conceptual understanding through interactive visualizations while being unable to fully replace adaptive teacher explanations. Students reported increased engagement and improved academic performance, yet also experienced challenges including digital distractions and decreased intrinsic motivation. Accessibility benefits were offset by persistent digital equity issues affecting students with limited technological resources. These findings support a complementary integration approach where technology enhances rather than replaces traditional pedagogical methods. The study contributes nuanced insights into how Indonesian secondary students interpret and experience technology-mediated mathematics learning, providing empirical evidence for educators and policymakers to design more effective, equitable, and meaningful technology integration strategies in mathematics education.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Paputri (Trigonometric Rotating Board) audio-visual aid in enhancing the quality of mathematics learning, particularly in trigonometry. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research involved third-semester students majoring in Mathematics Education at Universitas Negeri Malang, who acted as direct users of the teaching aid. The instruments used included the Paputri media, video recordings, and field notes. Data were collected through classroom observations and interactive analysis of video documentation and evaluation notes. The findings reveal that the integration of Paputri in trigonometry instruction effectively promotes students’ critical thinking, engagement, and conceptual understanding. Moreover, it fosters a more interactive and enjoyable learning environment that motivates students to actively participate in the learning process. These results highlight the pedagogical potential of manipulative and visual media in supporting mathematics learning. In conclusion, the use of Paputri as an audio-visual aid has a positive impact on students’ comprehension of trigonometric concepts. The study recommends that mathematics teachers incorporate similar innovative media in trigonometry teaching to enhance student engagement and enrich learning experiences.
