Abstract

One of the skills necessary for 21st-century society is the capacity for problem-solving. Students will be required to work in unfamiliar settings, solve problems they have never faced before, and use skills unrelated to any particular subject matter. GeoGebra is a learning environment that provides a variety of representations and simulates various mathematical models. This article aims to describe instructions for the use of Geogebra-assisted PBL in promoting students' capacity for problem-solving. The students who participated in this study consisted of 36 high school students. Mathematics learning is done using the GeoGebra application during the learning process. The method used in this research is descriptive analysis and qualitative research. The specific technique used in implementing GeoGebra-Assisted Problem Based Learning is students through two phases in each sub material. The first phase is focusing on the problems that lead to an understanding about representation for solutions and not solutions in inequality and inequality system. The second phase is focusing on the real world problems that lead to an understanding solving problems using GeoGebra. The results of the study show that teachers need to develop student exploration processes through representations, simulations, problems, and solutions using GeoGebra that are close to student reality. The use of GeoGebra-assisted PBL is mathematics learning is able to support student exploration so that students are more involved in the learning process by paying attention to student interaction and exploration. The use of GeoGebra makes students active knowledge builders, tracks the process of change, and keeps students engaged with teachers in mathematics teaching. The analysis carried out was supported by student learning outcomes, which showed that the average learning outcomes were significantly different and exceeded the Minimum Criteria of Mastery Learning and as many as 86% of students scored above the Minimum Criteria of Mastery Learning. The use of GeoGebra-assisted PBL considerably increased students' capacity for problem-solving, notably in terms of their capacity to recognize issues, obtain data, evaluate it, and suggest solutions. Additionally, students perceived that GeoGebra was a useful tool for accelerating their learning, offering dynamic and interesting learning opportunities, and strengthening their capacity for problem-solving.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the discovery learning approach for teaching mathematics has an effect on students' learning outcomes. This study is quantitative descriptive research with a pre-experiment, one-group pretest-posttest research design. The research subjects consisted of 31 students from class IXA at junior high school 36 Semarang. The students took a pretest before the implementation of the discovery learning model, and then a posttest was given after the implementation to measure the enhancement of students' learning outcomes. Pretest and Posttest findings revealed an increase in the average scores, which were 47.41 and 80.90, respectively, and the N-Gain test results showed a score of 0.61 in the moderate category. The study's findings shed light on the usefulness of the discovery learning approach in increasing the learning outcomes of class IXA students at junior high school 36 Semarang, particularly in the field of geometry transformation. From the results of the pretest, it was found that 31 students were in the low category. After learning with the discovery learning model, a posttest was carried out with the results of 7 students who were in the low category, 17 students in the medium category, and 7 students in the high category. There were significant changes in the participants' pretest and posttest scores, validating the efficacy of discovery learning strategies. Students who received instruction using the discovery learning model, in particular, had considerably higher posttest results as compared to their pretest scores. This demonstrates a significant increase in their comprehension and application of geometry transformation ideas following participation in the discovery learning technique. Through the discovery learning approach, teachers play a critical role in promoting student-centered learning. While the discovery learning model has been shown to be helpful in improving student learning outcomes, it is critical to investigate other instructional strategies and the use of educational technologies in future research and teaching practices. Additional study should be conducted to explore the usefulness of instructional technology and to establish best practices for its integration in order to improve student accomplishment in the digital era.

Abstract

Learning outcomes are one of the important aspects in the learning process because it is used as a determining factor for the success of a learning process. The factors that influence student learning outcomes are divided into two, namely internal factors (learning interests, talents, motivation, self-regulation, etc.) and external factors (school environment, family environment, etc.). Self-regulation and learning interest were the focus of discussion in this research. This study aims to determine the positive and significant influence between independence and interest in learning on mathematics learning outcomes for class VIII students of SMP Negeri 24 Muaro Jambi. This type of research is associative quantitative research. The results showed that partially independence had a positive but not significant effect on mathematics learning outcomes with tcount = 1,323 and correlation coefficient 0,202, while interest in learning had a positive and significant effect mathematics learning outcomes with tcount = 4,193 and correlation coefficient 0,548. Simultaneously, independence and interest in learning have a positive and significant effect on mathematics learning outcomes for class VIII students of SMP Negeri 24 Muaro Jambi as shown by the Fcount = 41,196, with an effect of 66,8% and 33,2% influenced by other variables.

Abstract

Indonesian pupils need help solving problems, particularly in mathematics, due to the need for practice questions with the higher-order thinking (HOT) type. This research aims to develop a reliable and valid tool for assessing students' higher-order thinking skills in mathematics. Developing a test involves gathering requirements, creating questions, assessing answers, running trials, analyzing data, making adjustments, and finally putting everything together. The instrument trial was conducted at SMAN at Majalengka, West Java. The total number of test subjects was 32 students. Research data were collected using a description test. The test instrument consists of 10 descriptions, but only 6 had good validity based on the value of V on the V-Aiken. In addition, the test package produces reliable questions based on Cronbach's Alpha scores. The test results of the instrument showed that the HOTS of mathematics for Grade X students was good. This step provides an overview to teachers in designing valid and relevant instruments.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country of diversity, with a variety of different cultures incorporated into the national identity. With a great range of cultural groups existing in Indonesia, it is essential for teachers to implement a cultural approach in their mathematics classes to ensure that students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to learn and understand the academic content. This article intends to explore the topics of multicultural education in mathematics classrooms. It has been found in the pieces of literature available that an appreciation of cultural dissimilarities can be beneficial and should be seen as an advantage rather than a shortcoming. To accommodate this peculiarity, there are strategies that can be utilized such as funds of knowledge, ethnomathematics, and also storytelling within mathematics lessons. These strategies grant teachers multiple methods of preserving culture while at the same time teaching mathematics effectively and efficiently.
