Abstract

The development of meaningful mathematics teaching materials remains a significant challenge in elementary schools, particularly in teachers’ ability to organize concepts systematically and contextually. One relevant strategy to support meaningful learning is the use of concept maps as cognitive tools. This community service program aimed to enhance elementary school teachers’ understanding and competence in Barru Regency in developing meaningful mathematics teaching materials based on concept maps through a structured workshop. The activity involved 30 teachers and was conducted through several stages: pretest, material presentation, discussion, hands-on practice in designing concept maps and teaching materials, posttest, and product evaluation. Data were collected using a comprehension test and a product assessment rubric, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired-sample t-test, and N-gain analysis. The results indicated a significant improvement in teachers’ understanding, with the mean score increasing from 62.4 on the pretest to 82.5 on the posttest. The paired t-test showed a significant difference (t = 11.27; p < 0.05), while the N-gain analysis revealed that 60% of teachers achieved high improvement and 40% moderate improvement. Product evaluation yielded an average score of 3.55 out of 4 (very good category), particularly in the structure of concept maps, interconnections among concepts, and alignment with elementary students’ characteristics. These findings suggest that concept map-based workshops are effective in improving teachers’ conceptual understanding and the quality of meaningful mathematics teaching materials, with potential as a sustainable professional development model.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how the implementation of mind mapping as a cognitive organizational tool can optimize numeracy skills among primary school students. Despite the critical role of numeracy in foundational mathematics, many students struggle to achieve meaningful understanding. This research addresses the need for innovative instructional strategies that enhance conceptual comprehension and retention in elementary mathematics education. A quasi-experimental design was employed with 120 fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 38 Bonto Perak, Pangkep, Indonesia, conducted from October to December 2025. Participants were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instruction using mind mapping integrated with cognitive organizational strategies, while the control group followed conventional teaching methods. Data were collected using pre- and post-tests measuring numeracy skills, along with classroom observations and student interviews to assess engagement and conceptual understanding. Statistical analysis included paired t-tests and effect size calculations to determine the impact of the intervention. The results indicate that students in the experimental group demonstrated a significant improvement in numeracy skills compared to the control group (mean gain = 18.7 points, p < 0.01). Additionally, students reported higher levels of learning meaningfulness and engagement when using mind mapping as a cognitive organizational tool. The findings suggest that integrating mind mapping into mathematics instruction can enhance numeracy and meaningful learning. However, the study is limited to a specific grade level, school, and region, which may affect generalizability. Future research could explore long-term effects and application across different subjects and educational contexts

Although studies that specifically examine the development of early childhood critical thinking skills through context-based mathematics learning remain limited, this ability plays an important role in supporting cognitive development and learning readiness at the next level. This study aims to test and analyze the effect of implementing contextual mathematics learning on early childhood critical thinking skills. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, involving 20 children in Group B at TK IGTKI-PGRI Harapan Bangsa Bonto Perak, Pangkep Regency, who were selected through a purposive sampling technique. The study was conducted from January to March 2026. Data were obtained through observation, critical thinking skills assessment sheets, and documentation of learning activities, and were then analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in children’s critical thinking skills after the implementation of contextual mathematics learning, with the mean score increasing from 55.30 at the initial stage to 82.15 at the final stage. The statistical test results showed a calculated t value of 9.27 with a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000, which was lower than 0.05, indicating that the treatment given had a significant effect. These findings confirm that learning that connects material with children’s real-life experiences is effective in encouraging the development of higher-order thinking skills. Thus, this study contributes to enriching the literature on context-based mathematics learning in early childhood education and provides practical implications for educators to design learning that is relevant to children’s everyday experiences.
