Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze students' mathematical communication ability (MCA) through test questions on geometry transformation material that contains MCA indicators. This research uses a descriptive quantitative approach, by measuring the validity of the questions, then giving test questions to students, calculating student scores, and grouping them by category, and analyzing student answers. The research was conducted at a senior high school in Indragiri Hilir, the research sample was class 12 students majoring in mathematics and science as many as 20 people, with the assessment method and research instruments namely open description questions. The test questions given have been tested for validity using the Aiken index, and are in accordance with the MCA indicators set. The results of the study based on student test scores obtained 20% of high category students, 65% of medium category students, and 15% of low category students in solving MCA test questions. From the results of this study, it is necessary to strengthen learning to facilitate students' MCA.

Abstract

Mathematical Communication Skills (MCS) play a vital role in helping students structure their thinking and express mathematical ideas clearly and logically. Unfortunately, this skill remains relatively low due to limited interaction during instruction and the dominance of teacher-centered learning models. One innovative approach believed to address this issue is Project-Based Learning (PjBL), which positions students as active agents in the learning process. Numerous studies have indicated that PjBL can enhance MCS; however, it remains unclear which educational level and group size are most optimal for its implementation. This study aims to analyze the overall effect of PjBL on students’ MCS, as well as its impact across educational levels and sample sizes. A meta-analysis was conducted on eight published articles selected using PRISMA guidelines and analyzed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) software. Effect sizes were calculated using Hedge’s g to measure the magnitude of the difference between the experimental and control groups. The results revealed that PjBL had a significant and moderately (0,785) effective impact on MCS, with students taught through PjBL demonstrating an average of 78.38% higher MCS compared to those in conventional learning environments. The highest effectiveness was found at the junior high school level, which aligns with Piaget’s view that students at this stage are in the concrete operational stage and are more responsive to activity-based and collaborative learning. Furthermore, PjBL was more effective when applied in smaller group sizes, as it allowed for more intensive interaction and support. However, the limited number and diversity of studies analyzed indicate a need for further research with broader coverage and more in-depth moderator analysis to obtain a more comprehensive understanding.
