Abstract

This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the impact of the learning environment on students’ low understanding of mathematical concepts, particularly in algebra topics among junior high school students. The learning environment is an essential factor that plays a major role in determining students’ success in comprehending abstract mathematical concepts that require logical thinking skills. This research employs a theoretical review or literature study method by examining various scholarly sources such as journals, books, and previous research findings relevant to the topic. Data collection techniques were carried out through analysis, comparison, and synthesis of information from various references. The results of the study indicate that the condition of the learning environment, both physical and non-physical, has a significant influence on students’ understanding of algebraic material. Factors such as classroom noise, inadequate lighting, limited learning facilities, low motivation, and less conducive social interactions have been proven to reduce students’ concentration and interest in learning mathematics. Therefore, it can be concluded that efforts to improve students’ understanding of mathematical concepts must be accompanied by creating a comfortable, interactive, and creative learning environment that motivates students to think critically and participate actively in the learning process.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an innovative learning media called “Detective Data” as a tool to enhance students’ motivation and understanding in learning statistics, particularly the concepts of mean, median, and mode. The development of this media was driven by findings indicating that many students perceive statistics as abstract and uninteresting. Therefore, the Project-Based Learning approach was combined with gamification elements to create an investigative learning experience through real data collection activities and statistical analysis. The research was conducted with 33 eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 33 Makassar. A descriptive approach with a limited trial was employed, using observation sheets, student response questionnaires, and product assessment rubrics as instruments. The results showed that the use of “Detective Data” successfully increased students’ learning motivation, engagement in the learning process, and their ability to analyze data. The investigative posters produced by students demonstrated a solid understanding of data presentation and statistical analysis. Thus, this media can be effectively implemented as a project-based learning tool for statistics instruction.
