Abstract

Distance learning through the Google Classroom application is the main alternative for seventh grade junior high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are many obstacles faced by students during the learning process. This study aims to identify the obstacles experienced by seventh grade junior high school students when participating in post-COVID-19 learning through the Google Classroom application. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through interviews and observation. The results showed that the main obstacles experienced by students were limited internet access, lack of motivation and self-discipline, and difficulties in understanding the material being taught. In overcoming these obstacles, students need support and assistance from parents and teachers. Therefore, more intensive efforts are needed to provide adequate infrastructure and necessary training for students and parents to be able to take part in distance learning properly through the Google Classroom application.

Abstract

AbstractThis research aimed to design arithmetic sequence learning based on Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) with the context of stairs to support students' conceptual understanding. The study employed a design research methodology, structured into three key phases: the preliminary design, the design experiment, and the retrospective analysis. The research was conducted on grade 10 students of MA Al-Ittifaqiah Indralaya using Student Activity Sheets (SAS) designed based on the PMRI approach.The results showed that the context of the stairs was effective in helping students recognize the arithmetic sequence pattern concretely. In the initial activity, students were able to observe and record the pattern of staircase height and understand the fixed difference between stairs. However, most students struggled to construct a general formula in the form of formal symbols, although they managed to calculate patterns for complex cases such as the 901st or 2001st stair logically. This difficulty prompted a revision of the SAS to simplify the symbols and questions and to use concrete terms that were easier for students to understand.Revisions to the lesson design included the removal of confusing symbols, the reduction of repetitive problems, and a stepwise approach to linking concrete patterns with formal symbols. This study concluded that although the PMRI approach was effective in improving students' understanding of the concept of arithmetic sequences, further guidance was needed to improve students' symbolic ability. The findings contributed to the development of learning designs that were contextual, effective, and relevant to students' needs.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine students' critical thinking skills in terms of mathematical resilience. This study used a qualitative research design with a descriptive method. The research was conducted at SMPIT Nurul Islam Tengaran, Semarang Regency, Central Java, during the 2024/2025 academic year. The research subjects were 29 eighth-grade students. The data collection techniques used were a mathematical resilience questionnaire, a critical thinking test, and interviews. The questionnaire was used to determine the category of mathematical resilience. A written essay test was used to assess students' critical thinking skills. Interviews were conducted based on high, moderate, and low mathematical resilience categories. Two students with dominant critical thinking skills were selected from each category. There were two students in the high mathematical resilience category, two in the moderate category, and two in the low category. The results of the questionnaire, written test, and interviews revealed that (1) students in the high and moderate mathematical resilience categories possessed five critical thinking skills, namely interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, and explanation, which were both good and complete; (2) students in the low mathematical resilience category only possessed two critical thinking skills, namely interpretation and analysis, which were both good and complete. Based on the research findings, mathematical resilience was found to have an influence on critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the problem-solving abilities of elementary school students in solving story problems related to spatial geometry, as viewed from gender differences. The approach used is descriptive qualitative, with 128 students from several elementary schools in Muara Bungo City who have studied spatial geometry as the research subjects. The research instrument consists of an essay test designed based on four problem-solving ability indicators, namely: (1) understanding the problem, (2) developing a solution plan, (3) solving the problem according to the plan, and (4) reviewing the results obtained. Data were collected through tests, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing stages. The research results showed differences in strategies and achievements between male and female students on each indicator. Female students excelled in the indicators of understanding the problem and reviewing the results of their work, with characteristics of high accuracy and consistency in verifying answers. Conversely, male students were more prominent in the indicators of developing a solution plan and solving problems according to the plan, tending to choose quick and practical strategies. These differences reflect the influence of psychological characteristics and thinking styles specific to each gender. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for teachers in designing mathematics learning strategies that accommodate the strengths of both genders so that all students can optimize their problem-solving abilities.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning model on mathematics learning outcomes and students’ self-efficacy, as well as the relationship between the two variables among fifth-grade students at SDN 109/II Manggis. Using a quantitative experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design, the experimental class was taught using TPS, while the control class received conventional instruction. Data were collected through a mathematics test and a self-efficacy questionnaire, analyzed with SPSS 25 using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, Paired Sample t-Test, and Pearson Product Moment correlation. Results indicated that TPS significantly improved mathematics learning outcomes and self-efficacy. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.656, p < 0.05) was found between self-efficacy and learning outcomes. TPS is thus recommended as an effective alternative for elementary mathematics instruction, enhancing both academic achievement and students’ confidence.

Abstract

The research conducted is titled “Exploration of Ethnomathematics in Pakpak Traditional House Ornaments as a Representation of Mathematics in Culture,” which is based on the fact that Pakpak traditional houses have ornaments that are used to provide beauty and a belief in protecting the people who live in Pakpak traditional houses from evil forces. The current state of Pakpak traditional houses is such that they are very difficult to find. A few still stand in remote villages in Pakpak Bharat Regency, notably in Salak II Village. These traditional houses are now used as recreational sites for tourists and local residents, though some are left to decay and remain uninhabited. The research methodology employed a qualitative approach with an ethnographic perspective. Data and sources were collected through primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing/data verification. The research findings revealed the presence of concepts related to plane geometry, similarity, and geometric transformations. The concepts of plane geometry found in the ornaments of traditional Pakpak houses include squares, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, and circles. Based on the findings of the above research, the ornaments found in traditional Pakpak houses have their own meanings. The ornaments found in traditional Pakpak houses contain mathematical concepts.

Abstract

AbstractThis research was motivated by the low mathematics learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 102/II Sungai Kerjan. As many as 46% of students had not achieved the Learning Objective Completion Criteria (KKTP), indicating the need for the implementation of innovative and enjoyable learning models. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using chained question cards in the Team Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model on students' mathematics learning outcomes. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The study sample consisted of two classes: an experimental class of 26 students who received the TGT model using chained question cards, and a control class of 24 students who were taught conventionally. The instruments used were pre-tests and post-tests. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test because the data were not normally distributed. The analysis showed a significant difference between the post-test scores of students in the experimental and control classes. The average learning outcomes of students in the experimental class were higher than those in the control class. The hypothesis test showed a significance value (p-value) <0.05, thus the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of chained question cards in the Team Games Tournament (TGT) cooperative learning model significantly improved fifth-grade students' mathematics learning outcomes.Keywords: team games tournament (TGT), chained question cards, mathematics learning outcomes, cooperative learning.

Abstract

The exploration of geometric transformations in Gedung Kembar of Purwakarta aims to explore the relationship between mathematical concepts and the architectural form of cultural heritage buildings in Purwakarta Regency. Qualitative methods were used to investigate the architectural elements of the building through direct observation. The focus of the study was on four main geometric transformations, namely translation, reflection, rotation and dilation, which were discussed in the context of building design and ornamentation. The results of the study show that the Purwakarta Twin Towers depict four types of geometric transformations (translation, reflection, rotation and dilation). The principle of translation can be seen in the repetition of neatly arranged pillar ornaments, while reflection can be seen in the identical and opposing shapes of the building ornaments, creating a symmetrical impression. The principle of rotation is found in the twin building ornaments, which depict the congruence of an object, but with a change in orientation. Dilation is seen in the difference in the size of the ornaments, one of which is found in the window ventilation, which emphasizes the artistic side. In general, this study shows that geometric transformations are not only abstract ideas in mathematics, but can also be applied in real life in architectural design. The Purwakarta Twin Buildings are a concrete example of how mathematical principles can be applied to physically beautiful forms. Thus, this exploration not only enriches our understanding of the relationship between mathematics and architecture, but also opens up learning opportunities relevant to the surrounding environment, which can be used in mathematics education in a local context
