Abstract

Mathematics is a basic science that is essential for mastering other sciences and continues to develop to meet the demands of the 21st century. Meaningful mathematics learning requires a contextual and technology-based approach. Kurikulum Merdeka is a government effort to address this challenge. However, obstacles remain in its implementation, such as teachers' lack of understanding of the learning modules and students' understanding of the material. Therefore, this study aims to develop a Geometry Transformation e-module using the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model in the Ruang GTK with the assistance of GeoGebra, which has been tested for its feasibility and practicality. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model, through five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research subjects consisted of three experts in material, media, language, and mathematics learning for the feasibility test and three mathematics teachers for the practicality test. The instruments used included an observation sheet, a validation sheet, and a practicality sheet. The developed e-module consists of four sub-chapters: Translation, Reflection, Rotation, and Dilation. This e-module also includes flowcharts, prerequisite materials, learning activities, teaching materials, learning media, GeoGebra, Student Worksheets (LKPD), and assessments. The study results showed that this e-module was highly feasible with a score of 85.14% and very practical with a score of 89.33%. This module is easily accessible and supports contextual and technology-based learning

Abstract

The Minimum Competency Assessment (MCA) measures students’ numeracy skills, a crucial ability in the 21st-century digital era. However, PISA and the 2024 Indonesian Education Report show that Indonesian students’ numeracy skills remain low. This study aims to describe students’ numeracy skills in solving MCA questions on geometry and measurement content. The method used is descriptive with a qualitative approac. Data were collected through triangulation involving test results from seven MCA numeracy questions on geometry and measurement and through interviews. The subjects of this study consisted of 32 eighth-grade students from SMPN 40 Pekanbaru. The analysis of students’ answers revealed that 46.88% were categorized as low, 43.75% as moderate, and only 9.38% demonstrated a high level of numeracy proficiency. Interviews were conducted with selected students based on the results of the response analysis. Students in the high category were able to understand the context, interpret visual information, and apply reasoning and geometric concepts to real-life situations. They demonstrated the full range of cognitive processes, although improvements in accuracy are still needed. Students in the moderate category showed a lack of systematic thinking and often missed key details due to insufficient attentiveness when reading questions and selecting strategies. Meanwhile, students in the low category experienced fundamental difficulties in understanding visual information, units, and problem contexts. Their responses tended to be based on guesses rather than logical calculation, indicating the need for intensive support and more foundational instruction.

Abstract

Creative thinking is an essential competence in mathematics learning because it enables students to generate diverse ideas, approach problems from multiple perspectives, and produce original solutions. However, in the Indonesian educational context, students’ creative thinking skills remain low, and current assessment tools have not adequately measured all dimensions of creativity namely fluency, flexibility, and originality. This study aims to fill this gap by developing and validating a culturally contextualized open-ended assessment instrument designed to measure students’ creative thinking skills comprehensively. Using a research and development (R&D) approach, the instrument was tested with 28 ninth grade students from a junior high school in Malang City. The instrument’s construct validity was examined through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and its internal consistency was tested using Cronbach’s Alpha. The findings indicate that the instrument demonstrates good reliability and a clear three factor structure aligning with theoretical dimensions of creative thinking. These results suggest that the developed assessment can effectively capture students’ creative potential within culturally relevant mathematical contexts. The study contributes to educational assessment practices by providing a valid and reliable tool that promotes culturally responsive approaches to fostering creative thinking in mathematics learning.

Abstract

Education in Indonesia requires development, particularly in students’ numeracy skills and self-efficacy (SE). The importance of numeracy skills is stated in the Graduate Competency Standards (SKL). Moreover, numeracy skills are also related to students’ self-efficacy. Students with good numeracy skills tend to have high self-efficacy, and students with poor numeracy skills generally have low self-efficacy. Based on these factors, it is necessary to develop an appropriate learning model. The aim of this study is to develop a problem-based learning (PBL) model to enhance students’ numeracy skills and self-efficacy, and to determine the feasibility of the developed product in improving students’ numeracy and self-efficacy. This development research follows the ADDIE stages: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. The research methods used were both quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative methods were employed to determine the level of feasibility of the developed product, while qualitative methods were used to describe the calculated feasibility scores, suggestions and comments from validators, teachers, and students. The results showed that the developed product met the criteria of validity and practicality but did not meet the criteria of effectiveness. The ineffectiveness of the product was due to students not being accustomed to using the PBL model and their unfamiliarity with discussion-based learning.

Abstract

This research endeavors to scrutinize the mathematical creative thinking proficiencies of students and to ascertain the extent to which social media engagement impacts these abilities. The methodological framework employed herein is quantitative, adopting a descriptive research design, with data collection facilitated via survey instruments. The cohort for this investigation comprised 33 students enrolled in class X APHP at SMK Negeri 1 Pacet. To measure mathematical creative thinking skills, a test instrument was used, while social media usage was measured using a non-test instrument, namely a questionnaire. The collected data was then analysed using statistical tests with a quantitative approach, namely regression and quantitative descriptive tests. The empirical findings reveal that the aggregate mathematical creative thinking capacity among the students at SMK Negeri 1 Pacet registers at 73.5%, positioning it within a high classification. Nevertheless, a more granular examination indicates a positive correlation between social media utilization and mathematical creative thinking acumen; however, this association is characterized by diminutive strength and lacks statistical significance. Consequently, these results suggest that social media does not exert a substantial influence on the enhancement of mathematical creative thinking skills among the student population at SMK Negeri 1 Pacet.

Abstract

Creative thinking is crucial in mathematics education, particularly when students are required to solve open-ended geometry problems that allow multiple solution strategies. However, few studies have examined how students’ creative thinking processes occur when solving open-ended problems on flat shapes, especially based on Wallas’ four-stage model. This study aims to describe students’ creative thinking processes in solving open-ended tasks on flat shapes through the stages of preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. From 32 junior high school students, three were selected purposively to represent high, moderate, and low levels of creativity. Data were collected through creative-thinking tasks and interviews, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The findings show clear differences in thinking patterns: highly creative students successfully performed all four stages and generated accurate and varied solutions; moderately creative students experienced difficulties during illumination, particularly in selecting correct formulas and understanding composite shapes; while low-creative students struggled from the preparation stage, indicating difficulty comprehending the problem and applying concepts. This study contributes to understanding how creative thinking develops across different ability levels and highlights the importance of learning strategies that support each stage of the creative thinking process. The results imply that open-ended tasks in geometry can be optimized to foster creative mathematical thinking when accompanied by appropriate guidance.

Abstract

This study describes the association between students’ living arrangements and self-study time with the quality of written solutions in an Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) course. A descriptive-exploratory quantitative approach was conducted with 18 sixth-semester pre-service mathematics teachers. Data were obtained from final ODE grades, an online questionnaire on living arrangements and estimated weekly self-study hours, and students’ written responses to four representative ODE problems (non-exact, first-order linear, Bernoulli, and an exact equation with an initial value). Solution quality was coded into four categories: complete-correct, conceptual error, procedural/calculation error, and blank. Descriptive and correlational analyses were used to identify trends among variables. Results indicate a positive correlation between self-study time and the proportion of complete-correct solutions (r = 0.4635) and a negative correlation with conceptual errors (r = ?0.3681). The proportion of complete-correct solutions also shows a strong correlation with the final ODE grade (r = 0.8945). These findings highlight the importance of structured support for self-study and diagnostic assessment based on error types to improve students’ understanding in ODE learning.
