Abstract

Cooperative learning is primarily aligned with the transformative roles that it can play in responding to EFL students' writing skills. This review article investigates the personal, relational, educational, institutional, and global aspects of cooperative learning transformatively. Personal efforts to improve writing skills highlight the relevance of diverse small-scale teamwork. Individual student efforts are the gold standard for adopting coordination and teamwork. More significantly, students want to regain self-confidence by adopting socio-emotional skills that improve their collaboration and involvement. It also maintains a positive attitude and a sense of pride in the face of institutional transformation. The main reason is that institutional policy, which heavily encourages writing competence, attempts to help students develop and update their knowledge, communication, creativity, responsibility, and competence capacities. As a result, transformative learning brings together the strengths of small-scale personal, relational, educational, and institutional activities to develop networked relationships in academic communities. Furthermore, cooperative learning functions well in writing contexts to assist students in accepting democratic ideals, attitudes, and principles. Cooperative learning thus plays transformative roles while enhancing students' writing competence in global contexts to re-articulate ideas that transformational values arise through in-class writing activities that contribute to global cooperative learning.

Abstract

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI) in solving mathematical problems at the high school level by comparing the performance of AI with that of students. Utilizing the ChatGPT tool and a dataset of 20 mathematics questions from the high school curriculum, the study involved ten students from the Muhammadiyah Mertoyudan Islamic Boarding School. The results indicate that AI exhibits high accuracy in multiple-choice questions (98%) and short-answer questions (95%), albeit with a decrease in performance for essay questions (75%); conversely, students demonstrated an average accuracy of 85% for multiple-choice questions, 80% for short-answer questions, and 70% for essay questions, additionally, also demonstrated higher consistency, particularly in questions requiring complex conceptual understanding. At the same time, the findings underscore the significant potential of AI as a tool for mathematics learning, further development is needed to enhance its ability to comprehend and respond to essay questions, thereby improving conceptual understanding and critical reasoning. The implications of these findings can contribute to the advancement of more sophisticated and effective educational technology to support mathematics learning in schools.
