Abstract

Mathematical comprehension is a fundamental skill that plays a crucial role in understanding and solving problems across various mathematical topics. This study aims to analyze the mathematical comprehension abilities of slow learners in the SPLDV (Two-Variable Linear Equation System) material. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed in this study. The subjects consisted of 20 slow learners in grade VIII of SMPIT in Sukabumi Regency. Data were collected through written tests and interviews, and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results indicate that students with low comprehension skills have not fully mastered the SPLDV material and can only answer questions at levels 1, 2, and 3 but do not fully meet the indicators. Students with medium comprehension skills are able to answer questions at levels 1 and 2 according to the indicators. Meanwhile, students with high comprehension skills can answer questions at levels 1, 2, and 3 while meeting the indicators. The analysis of answers and interview data reveals that students in the low, medium, and high comprehension categories demonstrate distinct indicators of mathematical comprehension ability. In conclusion, slow learners exhibit varied levels of mathematical comprehension, highlighting the need for differentiated teaching strategies to address their specific needs and enhance their understanding of SPLDV concepts.

Abstract

One of the main challenges in learning mathematics is bridging students' difficulties in learning abstract material and teachers' weaknesses in presenting the material in an engaging, interactive, and relevant way for students. Technology can be adapted and integrated into mathematics learning activities as an alternative way to overcome these problems. This research aims to develop Android-based learning media on trigonometry material for 10th graders at SMA Negeri 10 Kupang that is valid, practical, and effective. The research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model produced the product. The subject in this study is 10th graders at SMAN 10 Kupang. Interviews, questionaries, and tests were used to collect the data in this research primarily to assess the product's validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The results show that Android-based learning media on trigonometry material is very valid, with an average score of 4,52. The product has also been assessed to be very practical to use by students both in small and large group trials, with the average scores being 4,76 and 4,61, respectively. Android-based learning media is also effective for students learning trigonometry, confirmed by the high percentage of classical completeness in small-group trials (86%) and large-group trials (88%).

Abstract

To improve the skills required for students in the 21st century, such as basic skills, competencies, and character, mathematical literacy is one of the critical factors. With the application of STEM, students are expected to be able to think critically so that they can improve their mathematical literacy skills. This research used a descriptive qualitative method with subjects aged 3–9 years in Joho Village, D.I. Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In this study, data was collected using three methods: observation, interview, and documentation. The instruments used include a critical thinking scale, an observation guide, and an interview guide. The results obtained from this study indicate that applying STEM can hone students' critical thinking skills. Two classifications were obtained by applying STEM, namely groups with high and average levels of critical thinking. Students can identify given problems, formulate the core of the problem, provide solutions based on a problem, draw conclusions, and evaluate relevant arguments for solving a problem. Thus, research is expected to provide a strong foundation for applying STEM-based learning to enrich students' mathematical learning experiences and prepare them for future challenges in the age of globalization towards Indonesia in 2045.
