Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the implementation of the Game Based Learning model assisted by the Zep Quiz website has an effect on the mathematical communication skills of 10th-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Air Putih in the statistics curriculum for the 2025/2026 academic year. This study is a quasi-experimental study using a two-group Pretest-posttest design. The population in this study consists of all 10th-grade classes, totaling 2 classes. The sample comprises 2 classes. In Class X-RPL 2, the experimental group used the Game-Based Learning model assisted by the Zep Quiz website, while Class X-RPL 1 served as the control group using the expository learning model. After the instruction was completed, posttests were administered, yielding an average score of 80 for the experimental class and 71 for the control class. The results of the t-test showed t_hitung=3,616>t_tabel=1,994; therefore, H₀ is rejected and H_a is accepted. Thus, it was concluded that the mathematical communication skills of students using the Game-Based Learning model assisted by the Zep Quiz website were better than the mathematical communication skills of students using the expository learning model in Grade X at SMK Negeri 1 Air Putih.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the competitive strategies between Telkomsel and XL SIM card products using game theory. The research data were obtained through questionnaires distributed to students of FMIPA as respondents. The analyzed attributes include starter card price, call and SMS tariffs, signal quality, offered features, internet access capability, active/grace period, and prize lottery programs.The validity test results show that all attributes are valid, while the reliability test produces a Cronbach’s Alpha value of 0.71, indicating that the instrument is reliable. The analysis was conducted using a payoff matrix with pure strategies through the maximin and minimax approaches. The results show that the maximin and minimax values are equal, namely 20, indicating the existence of an equilibrium point (saddle point). The optimal strategy obtained is (X3, Y5), where Telkomsel uses the signal quality strategy and XL uses the internet access capability strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students’ emotional regulation based on gender in solving word problems on fraction material. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving 27 seventh-grade students at UPTD SMP Negeri 1 Aek Kuasan, consisting of 16 male students and 11 female students . Data were collected through tests, questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that students' emotional regulation was categorized into high, medium, and low levels. Most students were in the medium category (40.7%), followed by high (29.6%) and low (29.6%) categories . Based on gender, female students tended to have better emotional regulation than male students, as indicated by a higher percentage in the high category. These findings indicate that emotional regulation plays an important role in helping students remain calm, focused, and systematic in solving mathematical word problems. Therefore, emotional aspects should be considered in mathematics learning, especially when dealing with complex problems.
