Abstract

This study investigates how junior high school students adopt and shift roles during group discussions while solving Fermi problems, using Positioning Theory as an analytical framework. The study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach with the subjects of eight students of class IX PD-CI MTsN 1 Kediri who were divided into two groups selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected from audio and video recordings of group discussions, which were transcribed and coded for patterns of positioning, negotiation, and interaction, along with students’ written responses. The findings reveal that students take on different roles: novices often participate passively, facilitators organize the discussion and encourage participation, while experts contribute key information and guide reasoning. Some groups demonstrated dynamic role shifts throughout the activity, reflecting increased engagement and conceptual understanding, whereas others maintained more static participation patterns, limiting opportunities for collaborative idea exploration. This study uniquely analyzes role shifts among junior high school students through Positioning Theory in the context of Fermi problems. These findings highlight the importance of monitoring and structuring collaborative activities to promote equitable participation. For mathematics educators, understanding positioning patterns can inform instructional strategies, such as role rotation, supporting novice participation, and designing Fermi problems that foster active collaboration

Abstract

Mathematics story problems are important to learn because they relate to contextual life. In the preliminary study, many MTs Qita Malang students made mistakes. One way to find out students' mistakes is to explore how they think mathematically. Therefore, the researcher conducted a study that aimed to describe how students think mathematically in solving mathematical story problems. The instruments used were test sheets and interview guidelines. This research is a qualitative-descriptive research that was attended by 15 grade IX students of MTs Qita Malang. Three research subjects were selected based on their ability level (high, medium, low). The results showed that students were highly capable through all aspects in the entry and attack phases, but missed the check and extend aspects in the review phase. Moderately capable students go through all aspects in the entry phase and skip the why aspect in the attack phase and only succeed through the reflect aspect in the review phase. Low ability students go through the entry phase of the know and want aspect, but skip the maybe and why aspect in the attack phase, and only through the reflect aspect in the review phase.

Abstract

The teaching of geometric transformations in junior high school continues to face several challenges, especially regarding the topics of translation and reflection, which require a strong understanding of visual and spatial concepts. This issue was identified at a junior high school in Pasuruan Regency, where diagnostic tests and classroom observations revealed low student comprehension and a lack of interactive instructional media. In response, this study aimed to develop an educational game titled Petualangan Ryna di Desa yang Hilang using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) development model. The goal was to produce a valid, practical, and effective learning tool. The research involved seventh-grade students as participants, with data collected through expert validation, post-tests, and student response questionnaires. The results indicated that the developed game and assessment instruments were valid, the game was practical to use, and it effectively improved students’ understanding of geometric transformations. Therefore, Petualangan Ryna di Desa yang Hilang is suitable for classroom use as an innovative learning media that enhances engagement and conceptual understanding through contextual and visual exploration.

Abstract

Ethnomathematics serves as a bridge between history and culture with mathematics, playing a crucial role in recognizing that various cultural activities lead to different mathematical concepts. This study aims to describe the historical, philosophical, and mathematical concepts embedded in traditional Papuan houses, including Honai, Kaki Seribu, Rumah Pohon, and Rumsram. The research was conducted at the Papua Ethnic House Tourism and Cultural Park using a qualitative descriptive research method based on ethnography. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and data verification techniques. The results showed that traditional Papuan houses integrate mathematical concepts in their structure and design, such as: (1) The Honai house adopts a cylindrical and conical shape for space efficiency and durability; (2) The Kaki Seribu house highlights symmetrical patterns in its numerous supporting pillars, reflecting adaptation to the surrounding environment; (3) The Rumah Pohon applies principles of proportion and stability to ensure safety from external threats; (4) The Rumsram house represents the Biak people's connection to maritime culture while demonstrating geometric principles in its trapezoidal and rectangular structures. In addition to mathematical aspects, traditional Papuan houses contain philosophical and historical values that strengthen local cultural identity. Further research will focus on developing and testing Papuan culture-based mathematics learning models. For example, creating didactic designs that use the Honai House concept to teach geometric shapes (cylinders and cones) or the Thousand-Legged House to teach symmetry and patterns. The effectiveness of these models in enhancing student understanding and interest could be the focus of testing. Practical applications include creating textbooks, modules, learning videos, or even interactive apps that showcase traditional Papuan houses as a medium for learning geometry, patterns, and measurement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between learning motivation and mathematical communication skills in vocational high school students. The background of this study is the importance of mathematical communication in mathematics learning, as well as the low learning motivation of vocational high school students that impacts these abilities. The research method used is quantitative with a correlational approach. The population in this study were grade X students at SMK Negeri 1 Cipanas, with a sample of 26 students from grade X MPLB 3 selected using a purposive sampling technique. The instruments used included a learning motivation questionnaire and a mathematical communication ability essay test. The results showed that there was no positive and significant relationship between learning motivation and mathematical communication skills in vocational high school students. Based on these results, it can be interpreted that high learning motivation does not necessarily align with high mathematical communication skills. This means that even though students have a high learning drive, it does not automatically make them able to communicate mathematical ideas well. This finding implies that increasing learning motivation alone is not enough to improve students' mathematical communication skills. Mathematics learning needs to be designed not only to motivate students but also to specifically train mathematical communication skills such as explaining ideas, using symbols appropriately, and interpreting real-world situations into mathematical models.

Abstract

Creativity in mathematics is essential for developing students’ problem-solving skills and innovation, yet in Indonesia, students’ creative thinking remains low, as shown by PISA and TIMSS results, indicating a significant gap between expectations and current practices in mathematics learning. To address this issue, this study aimed to analyze the creative thinking characteristics of Grade IX students when solving culturally integrated mathematical problems, while also considering differences among student specialization groups: Mathematics, Science (IPA), and Social Studies (IPS). The research employed a qualitative case study design involving 30 students from a junior high school in Malang City during the 2024/2025 academic year. Based on a creative thinking test, 15 students (6 mathematics, 5 science, and 4 social studies specialization) were selected for in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed through several stages: preparation, coding, categorization, presentation of findings, interpretation, and validation. The findings revealed distinct creative thinking characteristics across the three groups. Mathematics specialization students demonstrated strong fluency through generating many ideas, filtering logical ideas, and responding quickly; flexibility through diverse approaches and adaptability; and originality through expressing unique and innovative solutions. Science specialization students showed similar traits in fluency and flexibility, with originality evident in their ability to create and articulate unique ideas. Social studies specialization students demonstrated fluency and flexibility but lacked originality characteristics. These results highlight variations in creative thinking profiles among different specialization groups and emphasize the importance of targeted instructional strategies to foster creativity in mathematics education.

Abstract

The ability of mathematical creative thinking is essential for students to possess, but in reality, the level of mathematical creativity in Indonesia remains comparatively low. This study aims to find out if learning with PACE-GeoGebra helps improve students' mathematical creative thinking abilities and to understand how self-regulated learning relates to the improvement of these abilities through PACE-GeoGebra. Quasi-experimental research methodology is employed. The study uses a non-equivalent comparison group design. All of the 10th graders enrolled in one of Cianjur's high schools for the 2024–2025 school year make up the study's population. Two classes—classes X-E and X-F—were chosen as samples from the population using a purposive sampling technique. While the control group employed the standard learning model, the experimental group employed the PACE-GeoGebra learning model. Tests and questionnaires with information on quadratic functions were the tools utilized. Using the two-sample mean equality test, data analysis was done on the average gain index between the two sample classes. The research results show that (1) there is a significant difference in the improvement of mathematical creative thinking abilities between students who use the PACE-GeoGebra approach and students who use conventional learning. (2) There is a correlation between student self-regulated learning and the improvement of mathematical creative thinking skills through PACE-GeoGebra learning.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the spatial abilities of students in light of Florence Littauer's personality types and understanding of how students personality traits can influence their mathematical spatial abilities. This research is a qualitative research with an exploratory method. Data were collected from eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 13 Tasikmalaya, . The subjects of the research are eight eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 13 Tasikmalaya from each representing each of the four personality types. The research instruments included a personality type questionnaire, spatial ability tests, and unstructured interviews. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate variations in spatial ability achievement according to personality type. Students with a melancholic type demonstrated comprehensive mastery of all spatial indicators, while sanguine and phlegmatic students showed strengths in spatial perception as well as some aspects of visualization and rotation, though they still needed reinforcement in using geometric terminology and image representation. Meanwhile, choleric students exhibited strong mental rotation skills but experienced difficulties in visualizing objects from multiple perspectives and assembling shapes after manipulation. These findings contribute to mathematics education theory by highlighting the role of personality types in developing students’ spatial thinking skills
