Abstract

Mathematics is often understood as an abstract discipline and independent of cultural values, whereas in the cultural practice of society, mathematical concepts are usually integrated into cultural traditions and artifacts. In the context of meaningful and culturally relevant mathematics education, it is essential to explore mathematical knowledge embedded in local cultural practices. Through a qualitative approach with ethnographic design, this study examines ethnomathematics on traditional headgear of Jambi Malay women, focusing on mathematical concepts integrated with the shape, motif, and technique of folding the navel. The study results show that at least 5 shapes of tenaculum represent geometric concepts such as folding symmetry patterns, geometric transformations, angles, and pattern repetitions that resemble flat shapes and 3-dimensional shapes. Each design and shape of the tengkuluk fold has geometric characteristics and philosophical values, such as harmony with nature and the social structure of the Jambi community. This research contributes to developing ethnomathematics-based mathematics learning design by integrating contextual, project-based learning, and inquiry approaches. Thus, this study not only enriches the ethnomathematical literature in Indonesia but also bridges the gap between modern science and local wisdom in the context of meaningful and culturally relevant mathematics education.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model through the educational game media snakes and ladders on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. The background of this national research is based on the low mathematical problem-solving abilities of students as shown by international data, as well as the still dominant use of conventional learning methods that do not actively involve students. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The subjects of the study were grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 7 Kuningan in the 2024/2025 academic year, with samples consisting of two classes: an experimental class using the PjBL model through educational games, and a control class using conventional learning. Data were collected through pretest and posttest tests and student response questionnaires. The results showed that there was no significant difference in initial abilities between the two classes. However, after the treatment, there was a significant difference in the posttest results and an increase in the N-Gain score of mathematical problem solving ability between the experimental and control classes, which were analyzed using the Mann Whitney U non-parametric test. In addition, the results of the questionnaire showed that students gave a positive response to learning with the PjBL model through the snake and ladder educational game, with an average percentage of 75.025% in the high category. Thus, it can be concluded that the PjBL model through educational games is effective in improving students' mathematical problem solving abilities and is able to create a fun and interactive learning atmosphere.

Abstract

The low critical thinking and problem-solving abilities of mathematics students prompted this research. Monotonous learning methods, lecture-based learning methods, and the limited use of interactive media and innovative learning models are the emerging problems. This study uses the Berbakat model and Jellyfish media to implement learning enhancements to address this. Improving students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities is the main objective of this study. There were 16 students of SDN Karang Buah participating in this study in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR). Student skill observation sheets were used to collect qualitative data, and percentage formulas were used to calculate quantitative data at the level of competency achievement to analyze the observation results. The results showed a significant increase. Students' critical thinking abilities increased from 53% in the "quite skilled" criteria at meeting 1 to 88% in the "very skilled" criteria at meeting 4. Similarly, from meetings 1 to 4, problem-solving skills in the "very skilled" criteria increased from 60% to 88%. These results indicate that the use of the Berbakat model and Jellyfish media is effective in improving students' critical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to explore the relationship between self-efficacy, ability to solve mathematical problems, and higher level thinking skills (HOTS), by paying attention to the influence of learning style on the success of the learning process. This study uses the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, which is conducted through searching literature from various scientific sources relevant to data collection using Google Scholar, published in the period 2020–2025. The study process is carried out through the planning, implementation, and reporting stages which include identification, selection, and this study also involves the analysis of articles that focus on subjects that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results of the study show that self-efficacy has a significant role in improving students' ability to solve mathematical problems that require high-level thinking skills (HOTS). Students with a high level of self-efficacy tend to have a more systematic sense of confidence, perseverance, and a more systematic mindset when facing complex problems. In addition, the effectiveness  of the influence of self-efficacy is influenced by the learning style and learning strategies applied. Students with learning styles that align with certain teaching methods show better performance in higher-level thinking. Therefore, effective mathematics learning must be arranged adaptively by integrating  strengthening self-efficacy, developing HOTS skills, and adjusting to students' learning styles. It is hoped that the results of this research can be a reference in designing learning strategies that are able to encourage continuous improvement in students' mathematical problem-solving abilities and critical thinking skills

Abstract

This study is useful for systematically reviewing the application of the Brain Based Learning model in mathematics learning at various levels of education. Guided by PRISMA and using Systematic Literature Review as the method in this study, 30 articles published in the period 2020–2025 were analyzed to identify the effectiveness of BBL on students' mathematical abilities. The results show that BBL has a consistent positive effect on improving creative, logical, critical, connective, reflective, and mathematical communication skills. At the elementary school level, concrete and enjoyable learning, such as BBL, which has been proven to be efficient, is needed to improve conceptual understanding and creativity. At the junior high school level, this model strengthens logical thinking and mathematical literacy skills with the support of digital media such as GeoGebra and Wordwall. Meanwhile, at the high school level, BBL contributes to improving reflective and critical thinking skills and mathematical representation. Overall, BBL is capable of creating active, meaningful, and student-centered mathematics learning and developing Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), which are in line with the learning requirements of the 21st century.

Abstract

Keterampilan pemecahan masalah merupakan aktivitas kognitif yang mendorong siswa untuk berpikir aktif dan menemukan solusi atas permasalahan yang dihadapinya. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya keterampilan pemecahan masalah matematika pada siswa, yang disebabkan oleh dominasi model pembelajaran yang diterapkan guru yang masih mengandalkan metode ceramah dan hafalan rumus untuk menghadapi permasalahan rutin. Integrasi model Problem Based Learning dapat dijadikan alternatif solusi untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis tren, jenjang pendidikan, dan jenis penelitian yang paling dominan dalam studi peningkatan keterampilan pemecahan masalah matematika melalui model PBL. Metode yang digunakan adalah Systematic Literature Review dengan pendekatan PRISMA, yang meliputi beberapa tahapan seperti identifikasi, penyaringan, penilaian kelayakan, dan inklusi 10 artikel ilmiah terpilih yang terbit antara tahun 2020 dan 2025. Artikel-artikel tersebut ditelusuri menggunakan basis data jurnal nasional dan internasional seperti Google Scholar, PubMed, dan ERIC. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tren penelitian untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika melalui model PBL meningkat secara signifikan dari tahun 2020 hingga 2024, dengan fokus utama pada jenjang SMP. Jenis penelitian yang dominan adalah kuantitatif, terutama metode kuasi eksperimen, sementara pendekatan kualitatif dan campuran masih terbatas. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa model PBL efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika, sekaligus membuka peluang untuk penelitian lebih lanjut di jenjang pendidikan lain dengan metode yang lebih beragam.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically analyze the trends, focus, and effectiveness of the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assisted by learning media on improving students' mathematical literacy in Indonesia. The approach used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with reference to the guidelines of Kitchenham and Charters. Data were collected from 26 scientific articles published between 2021 and 2025 obtained through the Google Scholar database. Article inclusion criteria in this study were set to ensure the relevance and quality of the sources, namely they must be journal publications indexed by Sinta or Google Scholar, specifically discussing students' mathematical literacy in the implementation of Problem-Based Learning assisted by learning media, and written in Indonesian or English. Analysis was conducted on aspects of the objectives, types and designs of the research, types of media used, learning materials, educational levels, and the effectiveness of the implementation of media-assisted PBL. The results of the review indicate that most studies focused on improving mathematical literacy using a quantitative approach through a quasi-experimental design and the ADDIE model. Digital learning media, particularly GeoGebra, is the most widely used and has proven effective in fostering understanding of abstract concepts. Furthermore, studies show that high school and vocational high school (SMA/SMK) students and geometry are the most frequently researched topics. Overall, the integration of PBL with learning media has been shown to effectively improve mathematical literacy, critical thinking skills, and student engagement, making it an innovative strategy for strengthening the quality of mathematics learning in Indonesia
