Abstract

Ethnomathematics in mathematics education seeks to bridge abstract mathematical concepts with students’ cultural experiences, thereby enhancing the relevance and meaningfulness of learning. Traditional games represent a valuable cultural resource for contextualizing mathematics, and the Indonesian game congklak is widely recognized for embedding rich mathematical ideas within its structure and gameplay. This study aims to systematically review the mathematical concepts present in the congklak game and examine their implementation in mathematics education. A qualitative systematic literature review was conducted using articles retrieved from the Google Scholar database. The search applied specific keywords related to ethnomathematics, congklak, and mathematics education, with clearly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Ten peer-reviewed articles published between 2019 and 2024 were selected and analyzed through data reduction, organization, and synthesis. The findings show that congklak incorporates multiple mathematical concepts, including counting and number sequencing, arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), geometry (plane figures, solid figures, and reflection), linear equations in one variable, and basic profit-and-loss concepts. The reviewed studies also report positive effects on students’ conceptual understanding, learning motivation, engagement, and critical thinking skills. In conclusion, congklak serves as an effective ethnomathematical learning medium that supports meaningful and contextual mathematics instruction while also contributing to cultural preservation and strengthening students’ awareness of mathematics in everyday life.

Abstract

The increasing integration of digital technology in teacher education has reshaped how future teachers engage with knowledge and learning. This study explores how pre-service primary mathematics teachers conceptualize knowledge within digital learning environments and examines the relationship between their epistemic beliefs and digital engagement. A quantitative descriptive design was employed involving 34 undergraduate students enrolled in a primary teacher education program at an Indonesian university. Data were collected using a 20-item questionnaire adapted from Schommer’s Epistemological Beliefs framework and contextualized to reflect digital learning experiences. The instrument measured beliefs concerning the certainty, simplicity, and source of knowledge, as well as perceptions of learning ability and learning processes. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that participants predominantly hold constructivist-oriented epistemic beliefs, viewing knowledge as interconnected, evolving, and shaped through reflection and experience. Digital technology was generally perceived not merely as an instructional aid but as a medium that supports pedagogical thinking and professional growth. Statements reflecting growth-oriented learning and independent knowledge construction received strong agreement, whereas fixed and authority-dependent beliefs were largely rejected. These results suggest that epistemic sophistication may support more reflective and meaningful digital engagement. The study highlights the importance of integrating epistemological development with digital competence in teacher education to foster adaptive and reflective future educators.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving ability is a basic competency that supports conceptual understanding and application of calculus concepts, especially derivatives, at the high school level. However, many students still experience difficulties in translating contextual problems into appropriate mathematical models and applying derivative concepts effectively. This study aims to investigate the mathematical problem-solving abilities of 12th-grade students on the topic of derivative functions. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach to gain an in-depth understanding of students' problem-solving processes. Participants consisted of 12th-grade students from SMA IT Al-Husnayain, who were purposively selected to represent high, medium, and low levels of problem-solving ability. Data were collected through a contextual essay test on derivative applications and semi-structured interviews. Test items were designed based on Polya's problem-solving indicators: understanding the problem, constructing a mathematical model, applying a solution strategy, and reviewing the results. Data analysis was conducted by examining students' written answers, triangulating with interview data, and categorizing students according to demonstrated abilities. The results showed that students in the high-ability category were able to systematically apply derivative concepts, construct accurate models, and verify their solutions. Students with medium abilities generally understood the basic concepts but made procedural errors and tended to neglect formal verification. Meanwhile, low-ability students experienced significant difficulties in understanding the problem context, constructing correct mathematical models, and interpreting the results. In conclusion, students' problem-solving abilities in derivatives varied significantly across ability levels. These findings highlight the importance of a problem-based learning approach that emphasizes conceptual understanding, modeling skills, and reflective verification to enhance students' mathematical problem-solving competencies.

Abstract

Calculus is a fundamental component of secondary mathematics education; however, students’ conceptual understanding remains limited, particularly in abstract topics such as derivatives and integrals. These challenges are further exacerbated by low engagement and ineffective instructional practices. This study aims to analyze students’ difficulties in learning calculus, identify factors influencing their learning interest, and examine teachers’ instructional challenges. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 12 participants, consisting of 10 Grade XII students and 2 mathematics teachers at MAN 2 Padangsidimpuan. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and documentation of students’ written work. The researcher acted as the primary instrument, supported by interview guidelines and documentation sheets. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. To ensure trustworthiness, source and technique triangulation were applied. The findings indicate that students exhibit a moderate level of learning interest (≈54.6%), yet experience significant difficulties in conceptual understanding and mathematical communication, particularly in trigonometric derivatives and integrals. These difficulties are primarily associated with weak prerequisite knowledge, reliance on procedural memorization, and limited use of visual learning media. Additionally, teacher-centered instruction and anxiety-inducing assessment practices contribute to low student engagement. In conclusion, calculus learning difficulties are multidimensional, involving cognitive, affective, and instructional factors. Therefore, a holistic instructional approach integrating conceptual understanding, interactive media, and student-centered strategies is essential to improve learning outcomes.

Abstract

Numeracy ability has increasingly been recognized as a fundamental competence necessary for students to engage meaningfully with mathematics and real-world problem solving. However, many schools still struggle to cultivate strong numeracy due to the limited use of effective and innovative learning materials. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of EPUB-assisted teaching materials integrated with the MERRDEKA (Mulai dari diri, Eksplorasi konsep, Refleksi mandiri, Ruang kolaborasi, Demonstrasi, Elaborasi, Koneksi materi, dan Aksi nyata) learning flow in improving students numeracy ability. A quasi-experimental method was employed using a pretest-postest control group design. The participants consisted of students from classes XI-C and XI-D, totaling 72 students. Data were collected using a numeracy test as the primary quantitative instrument. The analysis involved calculating N-Gain scores and conducting an independent sample t-test to determine differences in learning improvement between groups. The result showed that the experimental class achieved an N-Gain score of 0.77 (high category), whereas the control class obtained an N-Gain score of 0.45 (medium category). In addition, the independent sample t-test yielded a significance velue of 0.001 < 0.05, indicating a significance difference in numeracy ability improvement between the two groups. Therefore, EPUB-assisted teaching materials integrated with the MERRDEKA learning flow are concluded to be effective in enhancing students numeracy ability.

This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with the ADDIE model. In the analysis phase, students' difficulties in understanding spatial figures and their low creative thinking performance were identified. The design phase produced a contextual framework supported by AR visualizations that aligned with the learning objectives. During the development phase, GeoGebra AR was integrated into the materials to create interactive and easily manipulated representations of polyhedra. The implementation phase involved limited and large-scale trials with Grade VIII students of SMP Pasundan 1 Cimahi. In the evaluation phase, expert validation and student response data were analyzed to determine the validity, practicality, and effectiveness of the developed product. The findings indicate that this teaching material is highly valid, as demonstrated by evaluations from material experts and ICT experts. Student responses in both trial phases also demonstrated a high level of practicality and positive acceptance. Furthermore, this teaching material proved highly effective in improving students' mathematical creative thinking skills, achieving an effectiveness rate of 96%. It can be concluded that the contextual teaching material assisted by GeoGebra AR developed in this study can support teachers in creating innovative, engaging, and conceptually meaningful learning experiences for students.

Abstract

Mathematics learning in elementary schools still tends to be dominated by conventional approaches, so it is not optimal in developing students' critical thinking skills and digital literacy, especially in the material of measurement data. This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model assisted by the Canva application in improving critical thinking skills and digital literacy of fifth-grade elementary school students. The study used a Research and Development (R&D) approach by adapting the simplified stages of Borg and Gall, including needs analysis, planning, product development, expert validation, revision, limited trials, and extensive trials. The subjects of the study were fifth-grade students in an elementary school in Purwakarta Regency. Data were collected through validation questionnaires, pretest-posttest tests, digital literacy observations, and interviews. The results showed that the Canva-assisted PjBL model was in the very feasible category based on expert assessments. The application of this model was proven to be able to significantly improve students' critical thinking skills with a medium N-gain value and improve students' digital literacy in all aspects with a very good category. Thus, the Canva-assisted PjBL model is effectively used as an alternative to innovative and contextual Mathematics learning in elementary schools.
