Abstract

The background of this research highlights that students often struggle to understand the place value of numbers, as each digit in a number represents a value based on its position. This challenge arises because the learning process lacks the use of engaging media and relies heavily on one-way interactions. To address this issue, a teaching approach that incorporates media and promotes active student involvement is required. This research implements the STAD-type cooperative learning model assisted by a stick box to enhance students' understanding of place value concepts. The study employs a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design method, with fifth-grade students from public elementary schools in North Sumedang District as the population. The primary research instrument is an essay test designed to measure conceptual understanding, supplemented by non-test instruments such as observations and questionnaires to collect additional data. The findings indicate that the STAD-type cooperative learning model assisted by a stick box significantly improves students' understanding of the place value concept, with a gain score of 0.746 categorized as high. In contrast, the conventional learning model resulted in a gain score of 0.178, categorized as low. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in conceptual understanding of place value between students who learn using the STAD-type cooperative model with stick box assistance and those who engage in conventional learning methods.

Abstract

This study investigates students' performance in solving probability-related questions in the Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education Examination (ACSEE) in Tanzania. The purpose is to identify the challenges students face when tackling these problems and provide insights for improving their performance. Using analysis of exam responses, the study reveals that many students struggle with probability questions, particularly those involving probability distributions like Binomial and Poisson. The difficulties arise from conceptual misunderstandings, the complexity of probability tasks, and the inappropriate use of generalized problem-solving techniques. To address these issues, we recommend conducting protocol analysis to understand students' cognitive processes when solving probability problems. This approach could guide teachers in developing instructional strategies that enhance students' comprehension and application of probability concepts. The findings contribute to shaping educational policies and teaching practices that can improve mathematical literacy and performance in probability tasks.
