Abstract

Mathematics learning in schools is still predominantly teacher-centered, resulting in limited student engagement during the learning process. In addition, the limited availability of teaching materials and the use of student worksheets (LKPD) that are not designed based on specific instructional models cause difficulties for students in understanding the material. This study aims to develop Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-based student worksheets integrated with QR Code technology to create a more interactive and engaging learning environment. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the 4D model, which was limited to the define, design, and develop stages. The subjects of this study were 20 eighth-grade students of SMP Gusti Wijaya Sunggal. The instruments used included expert validation sheets and student response questionnaires. The results showed that the developed LKPD achieved a very high level of validity with an average score of 92.25% and obtained student responses of 73% categorized as good. The integration of QR Code technology in the worksheets facilitates students’ access to additional learning resources, such as instructional videos. Therefore, the PBL-based LKPD integrated with QR Code is considered valid and practical for use in mathematics learning.

Abstract

Local wisdom plays a vital role in preserving cultural identity, fostering social harmony, and strengthening a community’s sense of belonging. Within the educational context, integrating local wisdom into learning activities creates meaningful connections between theoretical knowledge and the cultural realities experienced by students in their daily lives. This approach not only promotes contextual learning but also nurtures students’ appreciation of their heritage. This article explores the incorporation of Nias local wisdom into the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model as a strategy to enhance both academic achievement and character formation. The Nias community possesses rich traditions, social values, and problem-solving practices rooted in cooperation, respect, and responsibility. By embedding these elements into the PBL framework, students are encouraged to engage in authentic learning experiences that mirror real-life challenges while reflecting their cultural identity. The findings show that the integration of Nias local wisdom within PBL significantly improves students’ cognitive, affective, and social competencies. Students demonstrate increased motivation, collaboration, and critical thinking, while also developing empathy and respect for cultural diversity. Moreover, this approach enriches the learning environment by linking education to the community’s cultural context. Consequently, the application of local wisdom in education not only produces academically competent learners but also individuals who are culturally grounded and socially responsible.

Abstract

This study aims to develop mathematics learning tools based on Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) to improve elementary school students’ spatial ability. The research was conducted in response to students’ low spatial skills, primarily caused by the dominance of conventional teaching methods, limited use of contextual media, and the absence of systematically integrated learning tools using the RME approach. The development procedure used a modified ADDIE model consisting of three main stages: analyze, design, and develop. The research subjects included fourth-grade students and mathematics teachers at SDN 102083 Pabatu. The instruments involved expert validation questionnaires, student response questionnaires, spatial ability tests, and observation sheets for lesson implementation. The results showed that the developed learning tools were deemed valid by material experts, media experts, and teachers. The high level of lesson implementation and positive responses from both students and teachers confirmed practicality. Effectiveness was evidenced by the improvement in pretest and posttest scores, with a normalized gain score of 0.651 and a classical mastery percentage of 88 percent. These findings suggest that RME-based learning tools are effective in enhancing students’ spatial abilities in Mathematics.   Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan perangkat pembelajaran Matematika berbasis Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) guna meningkatkan kemampuan spasial murid sekolah dasar.
