Abstract

Communication is a key factor in the exchange of emotions and information during interactions. In fact, in schools, most children with disabilities, such as autism, experience significant verbal communication difficulties. Only about 45% of students with autism can communicate verbally, while 55% still rely on nonverbal communication or assistance. Additionally, students with autism have limitations in expressing their emotions, making them highly prone to tantrums. This is one of the reasons why teachers in schools often hesitate to provide digital media to students with autism. Digital communication is also a form of communication skills, but it is based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to facilitate relationships and interactions with others. This study aims to explore how the curiosity and digital communication skills of students with autism can be enhanced through a realistic mathematics learning approach using Quizizz. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings, based on observational instruments conducted over three sessions, indicate that students' digital communication skills improved in each session, increasing from 44% to over 80%. Furthermore, the use of Quizizz also contributed to enhancing the verbal communication skills of students with autism. Through Quizizz, students with autism were able to practice self-expression, select answers, and even interact with their peers in game mode. This research provides valuable insights into how students with moderate autism respond to realistic and interactive mathematics learning while helping educators better understand their special needs and develop more effective teaching strategies.

Abstract

The present exploratory study with a qualitative approach had the objective of analyzing the type of realistic and unrealistic responses, as well as the considerations of the real-world environment in second grade high school students in Mexico in the resolution of mathematical verbal problems. To this end, students were presented with several realistic and pseudorealistic verbal problems of proportionality, false proportionality, division with remainder and arithmetic operations. Two data collection instruments were created: a verbal problem sheet and a questionnaire. The responses were classified as realistic, unrealistic, and other responses. This research showed that some of the students conceived realism in the answers based on the interpretation they were able to make of the context of the problem. That is, they took realism into account in their solution, through comments or arguments from their own experiences, by analyzing their mathematical answers to link them with the existing knowledge they have of the real world. The study contributes to the understanding of how students’ cultural background and everyday life experiences influence their approach to mathematical problem-solving, highlighting the importance of context in shaping students’ problem-solving strategies. This finding emphasizes the need for educators to recognize the value of incorporating realistic contexts in mathematical instruction to enhance students’ engagement and understanding.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills involve analysis, evaluation, and reasoning—essential abilities that students need to navigate the challenges of globalization. However, many students still lack adequate critical thinking skills. This is evident from the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results, which indicate that Indonesian students' PISA scores remain low. Contextual questions, as tested in PISA, can serve as an effective tool for measuring students' critical thinking abilities. This study aims to analyze the critical thinking skills of junior high school students in solving contextual-based mathematics problems, particularly those aligned with the PISA framework. The research employs a quantitative descriptive method, administering six descriptive questions on the topic of curved surface geometry to 37 ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 12 Sukabumi City. The findings reveal that 11% of students exhibit high critical thinking skills, 30% demonstrate moderate skills, and 59% possess low skills. Students' responses indicate that they struggle to meet the five critical thinking indicators: identifying, clarifying, analyzing, evaluating, and inferring. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that the critical thinking ability of students at SMP Negeri 12 Sukabumi City remains low, with 59% of students categorized in the low-skill group. This study contributes to the understanding of students' critical thinking deficiencies and highlights the need for improved teaching strategies to enhance these essential skills.

Abstract

Mathematics is essential as it forms the foundation for sciences applied in the real world. Students' success in learning mathematics is crucial and must be prioritized. To understand and excel in mathematics, diligent study is required. Students who study diligently are often motivated by external factors such as outcomes, targets, environment, and teachers. Enthusiasm serves as the driving force that fosters the desire to learn effectively. Thus, motivation is a critical and consistent factor that encourages students to study diligently, ultimately improving their mathematics learning outcomes. This study examines the influence of school origin, national exams (UN), and tutoring on students' motivation to learn mathematics. The research involves a preliminary study, data collection, and analysis using a decision tree with the help of the Orange application. The results indicate that high motivation levels are more common among students attending public schools and those influenced by the presence of national exams. The findings of this study should be utilized by the government to enhance students' learning motivation and significantly improve mathematics learning outcomes. The study suggests targeted actions, including equitable resource allocation, alternative evaluation systems, teacher training, and enhanced counseling services, to effectively boost students' learning motivation and improve the overall quality of education. This research contributes by providing empirical evidence on the factors influencing students' motivation to learn mathematics, offering insights that can inform policies and interventions aimed at fostering a more effective and engaging learning environment.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between religious attitudes and students' mathematics learning outcomes at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri. This correlational approach research used a sample of 54 students. Data on religious attitudes were obtained through a questionnaire based on five aspects of religiosity, while mathematics learning outcomes were obtained through midterm summative scores. The Spearman Rank correlation test was used to analyze the data and showed that religious attitude had an insignificant relationship with mathematics learning outcomes. Overall religious attitude has a correlation coefficient of -0,235. Religious attitudes have an important role in shaping students' characters, such as discipline and responsibility, although they are not significantly related to mathematics learning outcomes. This finding provides an important insight that the relationship between religiosity and math learning outcomes is not direct and may be influenced by other factors such as time management or learning motivation. In addition, this study explains the integration of Islamic values in mathematics learning, for example through linking mathematical concepts with verses from the Qur'an. The results of this study contribute to the understanding of how religious values can be integrated into mathematics education, providing a foundation for further research on alternative factors that may mediate the relationship between religiosity and academic achievement.

Abstract

This study investigates students' ability to make conjectures based on their preferred learning styles. A qualitative descriptive research methodology was applied. The participants consisted of ten mathematics majors enrolled in the 2024–2025 academic year. Researchers employed a purposive sampling strategy to select the subjects. The test questions and learning style surveys used in the assessment tool were reviewed and approved by expert educators. Data from the test and the learning style questionnaire were analyzed to determine students' learning styles and their ability to formulate conjectures. The results indicate that visual learners demonstrated the highest ability to make conjectures, as they tend to perceive mathematical concepts visually before solving problems. In contrast, students with auditory or kinesthetic learning styles exhibited lower conjecture-making abilities, primarily due to memory-related challenges. However, students with these learning styles can still improve their conjecture skills with appropriate instructional approaches. Enhancing students' ability to formulate conjectures enables them to better explain mathematical concepts, derive information from mathematical problems, anticipate outcomes, develop solutions, and construct well-founded arguments. This study contributes to the field of mathematics education by providing insights into how different learning styles influence students' conjecture-making abilities, which can inform the development of more effective teaching strategies.
