Abstract

Numerous studies have demonstrated that the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) can enhance student motivation and learning outcomes. However, the integration of contextual media in these instructional activities remains limited. This research aims to investigate the impact of using PBL with contextual media on student outcomes, compare the differences in mathematics achievement between students taught through PBL with contextual media and those taught through conventional methods, and assess variations in student motivation between these two instructional approaches. A quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group was employed in this study. The participants consisted of 60 sixth-grade students, divided into an experimental group (taught using PBL with contextual media) and a control group (taught using conventional methods). Data were collected through learning motivation questionnaires and objective mathematics tests, with data analysis conducted using normalized gain scores (N-Gain) and t-tests. The results indicated significant improvements in student outcomes when taught using PBL with contextual media. Additionally, there was a marked difference in mathematics achievement between the experimental and control groups, as well as differences in student motivation between the two instructional methods. These findings suggest that implementing PBL with contextual media presents a promising strategy for enhancing both student motivation and mathematics learning outcomes.

Abstract

Ethnomathematics represents a paradigm within mathematics education that centers on integrating and applying mathematical principles, concepts, and methodologies embedded within the cultural fabric of specific communities. Within the Indonesian cultural milieu, traditional games constitute a significant aspect. Hence, this study investigates the traditional game of Congklak, aiming to explicate its underlying modulo concept. Employing a qualitative research design grounded in ethnographic methodology, the investigation draws upon a multifaceted approach, including a literature review, documentation analysis, participant observation, and interviews with custodians of the Congklak tradition. Data validation is achieved through triangulation of sources and methods. Data analysis involves iterative data reduction, presentation, and inference drawing processes. Findings reveal the presence of a modulo concept within the traditional Congklak game, which governs the determination of the final seed distribution position. Furthermore, additional mathematical elements, notably addition operations, are identified. The identified modulo concept offers a compelling avenue for enriching mathematical pedagogy, particularly in the realm of modulo arithmetic operations, by providing an alternative cultural context for learning.

Abstract

Lagosi, a renowned woven fabric of national significance, involves a precise calculation formula in its manufacturing process. Craftsmen must meticulously count the threads to ensure the motif aligns with the intended design. Despite its importance, this aspect has not been thoroughly examined within the framework of Ethnomathematics. Consequently, this study investigates the mathematical practices employed by the Buginese people during the Lagosi weaving process, focusing on both the manufacturing procedures and the resultant motifs. Employing a qualitative methodology with an ethnographic approach, this research collected data through observation, interviews, and audio-visual documentation. The analysis utilized domain and taxonomic techniques to interpret the data. To ensure validity, both source and method triangulation were employed. The findings reveal that the crafting of Lagosi involves integrating counting, measuring, designing, and positioning techniques. Additionally, the study demonstrates that weaving artisans apply mathematical critical thinking skills in the production of Lagosi. The weaving process also reflects socio-cultural values such as diligence, perseverance, discipline, and faith. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of mathematics in cultural contexts and offer valuable perspectives for contextual mathematics education by incorporating social values.

Abstract

Computer-based Mathematics Learning (CBML) has become global in the last decade, providing opportunities for more significant interaction between schools and their environment. Although CBML has been widely applied, few studies highlight its growth trajectory, especially high-quality studies and those in the Scopus document. This study identifies CBML-related research that can provide a global perspective on learning and the development of the further investigation. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify 651 journal articles between 2010 and 2023 using the Scopus database. Data search uses the publish or perish application, and the VOS viewer program assists in analyzing theme linkages. This research addresses two issues: (i) reviewing the growth trajectory of CBML-related studies; and (ii) mapping between themes to identify gaps and the most important topics. The analysis results show that the study's trajectory appears fluid and is mediated by the impact of social restrictions due to Covid-19. The main topics and research gaps are discussed. Several implications are presented as helpful information for scientists and stakeholders.

Abstract

In addition to the cognitive aspects of the problem-solving process, an emotional dimension undoubtedly emerges. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis to map articles focusing on the emotional side of mathematical problem-solving in elementary schools, using Google Scholar as the source and VOSviewer software for analysis. Data collection was facilitated through the reference management application Publish or Perish. This software enabled a comprehensive literature review on mathematical problem-solving in elementary schools. The keywords employed in data collection included "mathematical problem solving" and "primary school." The selected publications spanned the years 2020 to 2023. The results identified 338 articles pertinent to mathematical problem-solving in primary schools published over the past four years. The analysis revealed a declining trend in global research publications on this topic from 2020 to 2023. The bibliometric analysis indicated that "mathematical problem-solving in elementary school" had 166 links. Research findings on positive emotions and psychological well-being in mathematical problem-solving have shown increased student engagement and motivation. In conclusion, the current body of research on the emotional aspects of mathematical problem solving, particularly concerning positive emotions and psychological well-being in elementary school students, remains limited. This area presents significant opportunities for further investigation in future studies.

Abstract

The problem of the study was to investigate hindrances to undergraduate students’ meaningful learning of bivariate normal distribution (BND) in a Kenyan university. The study was informed by students’ poor performances in BND. This study adopted a case study design and a qualitative research methodology. Data was collected using a questionnaire from second- and third-year undergraduate statistics students (n=175). The data was thematically tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequencies and percentages. The study revealed various hindrances to undergraduate students’ learning of BND, which included;- inadequate background knowledge on BND, negative attitude towards BND, lack of interest on BND, inadequate learning resources on BND, inefficiency in learning long and complex statistical equations, inability to comprehend BND function, inability to derive the conditional mean and variance equations of a joint distribution, lack of an in-depth teaching of BND, few worked examples and assignments on BND etc. It is recommended that an in-depth teaching and learning of BND coupled with adequate worked examples and assignments should be embraced by utilizing university’s freely provided internet resources to bridge students’ statistical content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge gaps.

Abstract

Indonesia boasts a rich and diverse traditional culture, shaped by its historical context, geographic conditions, religious influences, values, and the varied experiences of its people. The distinctiveness and variety of these traditional cultures offer valuable insights and serve as resources for learning mathematics and economics. Common perceptions often dissociate mathematics from everyday activities such as farming, trading, and other practical tasks. This research aims to investigate the mathematical principles embedded in the Bedeyé activities within the traditional economic and trade practices of the Sasak tribe. Employing a qualitative research approach with ethnographic methods, data were gathered through observation, literature review, and interviews with cultural practitioners, traditional traders, community leaders, and cultural experts. The research findings reveal that Bedeyé activities exemplify traditional barter-based trading practices, where goods are exchanged for other goods. The mathematical concepts identified in the Bedeyé tradition include comparative mathematics, set theory, and volume estimation. Moreover, the educational values inherent in Bedeyé activities encompass itiq, saling redaq, semaiq, and saling saduq. These mathematical principles observed in the traditional trading systems of the Sasak tribe, as demonstrated through Bedeyé activities, can be leveraged as educational tools and foundational elements for teaching mathematics.

Abstract

Complex Mathematical Problem Solving (CMPS) is a crucial competency that equips students to navigate uncertain future situations. To enhance this skill, there is a need for more effective instructional models. One promising approach is Interactive Case-Based Learning (ICBL), an advanced iteration of the Case-Based Learning model. ICBL engages students with intricate real-world cases, enabling them to grasp mathematical concepts and adapt to novel and unfamiliar scenarios encountered in everyday life. This study aims to evaluate students' CMPS abilities following participation in ICBL-based instruction and to assess their responses to this instructional approach. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving an experimental group and a control group. The participants were seventh-grade students studying sequences and series. The research utilized ICBL-based teaching materials, CMPS ability tests, and student response questionnaires. The study's findings are that students instructed using the ICBL model demonstrated superior CMPS abilities compared to those instructed using traditional methods, and students responded positively to the ICBL instructional model in mathematics learning. This research underscores that the ICBL model can significantly enhance students' ability to solve complex problems. Consequently, educators should consider incorporating the ICBL model into their teaching strategies, and curricula should be adapted to support its implementation.
