Abstract

Mathematics has lower accomplishment than other subjects, according to TIMSS in 2011 and 2015 and PISA in 2015 and 2018. Geometry and measuring are the topics with the fewest right answers in the most recent National Exams, which were held in 2018 and 2019. According to the Minister of Education and Culture Regulation No. 16 of 2022, instructors must be able to use technology and communication devices in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to see how Van Hiele theory, helped by the Geogebra application, affects students' conceptual grasp of the geometry transformation topic taught in the D phase of the Merdeka Curriculum at the junior high school level. The subjects of this research were 55 students of grade IX who were divided into two groups, namely the experimental class which received learning with the application of Van Hiele theory assisted by the Geogebra application and the control class which applied conventional learning. The research was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, which combines both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. By using the Mann Whitney test on student score data of both class, it was concluded that there was no significant effect on level 0-visualization, level 1-analysis, and level 2-informal deduction, but there was a significant effect on students' abilities at level 3-deduction and level 4-rigor, which means that students who are taught using Van Hiele learning theory assisted by the Geogebra application have better conceptual understanding than students who are taught conventionally.

Abstract

Computational thinking (CT) is a fundamental skill that needs to be developed by prospective mathematics teachers to improve problem-solving and logical reasoning. Integrating programming into mathematics learning is an effective approach to training this skill. This study aimed to design a hypothetical learning trajectory (HLT) for developing CT using Python programming on Google Colab. This study used a didactical design research (DDR) framework consisting of three stages: prospective analysis, metapedadidactic analysis, and retrospective analysis. The research participants were prospective mathematics teacher students enrolled in a computer programming course. Data were collected through observation, code artefacts, and reflective interviews. The results showed that HLT, designed in stages, improved the four main components of CT: decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking. The students experienced improvements in breaking down problems, devising more efficient solutions, recognising patterns in code structures, and systematically designing algorithms. In addition, Google Colab supports learning by providing a collaborative and accessible programming environment. However, minor syntax errors and lack of attention to indentation were found. This study recommends using structured debugging strategies and project-based learning in optimizing CT development. The findings indicate that the integration of programming into the education of prospective mathematics teachers can equip them with essential CT skills to support technology-based mathematics teaching.

Abstract

This paper presents an innovative extension of trigonometric functions to parabolic geometry, introducing the parabolic sine (sinp u) and parabolic cosine (cosp u) functions. Geometrically, sinp u and cosp u are defined via the relationship between a point on a parabola and its focus: sinp u represents the vertical displacement ratio, while cosp u corresponds to the horizontal displacement ratio, normalized by the focal distance. These functions generalize circular trigonometry to a parabolic framework, preserving key structural identities while exhibiting unique behaviors, such as fixed asymptotic values under angle variation. The objective of this study is to establish a rigorous foundation for parabolic trigonometry, derive its core identities, and demonstrate its applicability. Using a geometric-analytic approach, we redefine trigonometric concepts via parabola-centric constructions, adapt Euler’s formula to parabolic segments, and derive exponential representations of sinp u and cosp u. This method leverages differential geometry and algebraic invariance to ensure consistency with classical trigonometry while extending its scope. Key results include: (1) Proofs of sinp u, and cosp u; (2) Exponential forms: sinp u, and cosp u; (3) As the parabolic imaginary unit. Unlike circular trigonometry adaptations, our approach provides intrinsic geometric consistency with parabolic functions, enabling exact solutions for parabolic arc lengths and focal properties. This contrasts with numerical or linearized methods that sacrifice accuracy for simplicity. Theoretically, unifies parabolic geometry with analytic trigonometry, opening pathways for conic-section-generalized trigonometry, enhancing modeling in optics (parabolic mirrors), structural engineering (cable-supported arches), and ballistics (trajectory optimization), offering a novel pedagogical tool to bridge classical and modern geometry.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the mathemagic method as one of the alternatives to joyful learning methods for junior high school students. The objects of this study were students of State Junior High School 1 Situbondo, consisting of 30 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class. Data were collected through test instruments and questionnaires, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in the form of paired sample t-tests, and N-Gain tests. The results of the study showed that the application of the mathemagic method as an alternative joyful learning is effective in improving student learning outcomes on HOTS questions, with an average increase in scores from pre-test (68.80) to post-test (87.83) of 19.03 points in the experimental class compared to pre-test (63.23) to post-test (73.20) of 9.97 points in the control class, sig.t (p-value) 0.000 < 0.05. The N-Gain analysis was 61.71% (moderate category) in the experimental class, while the control class was 27.24% (low category). In addition, 85% of students gave a positive response to this method, especially in terms of motivation and interest in learning because it was considered interesting and enjoyable.

Abstract

Creative thinking is an essential skill for students in the 21st century, especially in mathematics, requiring problem-solving and analytical abilities. This study aims to analyze the creative thinking abilities of high school students in solving mathematical problems, analyzed through Sternberg’s legislative, executive, and judicial thinking styles. A mixed method approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of thinking style questionnaires and mathematics ability tests with qualitative examination of students’ creative thinking task responses and interview data. Nine students were purposively selected from the 37 participants for in-depth analysis based on their dominant thinking styles and mathematical ability levels. These students were analyzed further through their written responses and semi-structured interviews to gain deeper insights into their mathematical creative thinking processes. Students completed a mathematical creative thinking task, evaluated on four indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. Findings revealed that all students were categorized at MCT Level 2 (Quite Creative), demonstrating only partial fluency and elaboration. No subject fulfilled flexibility or originality criteria, indicating limited strategic and novel thinking across styles. Interestingly, students with low mathematical ability also reached MCT Level 2, suggesting that creative thinking can be independent of academic performance. Legislative students lacked strategic variation despite their preference for autonomy, executive students relied strictly on procedural methods, and judicial students remained evaluative but unoriginal. Future research should involve a larger and more diverse sample to explore broader dimensions of students’ cognitive processes in mathematical learning. These findings imply that differentiated instruction based on thinking styles may be key to cultivating creativity in mathematics classrooms. The study underscores the need for instructional approaches emphasizing divergent thinking and creative exploration to align with diverse cognitive styles and enhance students' mathematical creativity.

Abstract

Numeracy skill is a critical skill for elementary school students, enabling them to apply mathematical concepts in everyday contexts and make informed decisions. This study investigates the numeracy skills of 55 fifth-grade students from Lhokseumawe City, Aceh Province. The students’ numeracy skills were measured across three key indicators: counting, numerical relations, and arithmetic operations. A descriptive quantitative approach was used to assess students' abilities. The results indicated that while students performed well in basic counting and arithmetic tasks, they struggled with tasks involving numerical relations and distinguishing quantities. The highest performance was observed in "counting an object verbally" (73%), while the lowest average score was in "distinguishing the quantity of an object" (41%). The study emphasizes the importance of integrating real-life scenarios into math instruction to improve numeracy skills. It also highlights the need for teacher training, scaffolded learning strategies, and the incorporation of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in the curriculum. The findings offer valuable insights for educators and policymakers aiming to enhance numeracy skills in elementary education, with implications for both academic performance and practical application.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving ability refers to the capacity to solve problems through sound decision-making, which is essential for effective learning. Students must be able to think positively, logically, and methodically to address mathematical problems. Based on local cultural knowledge, this study aims to examine how high school students taught using the PAKEM model (Active, Creative, Effective, and Fun Learning) differ in their mathematical problem-solving abilities compared to those taught through direct instruction. The population of this study comprised all Grade X students at SMA Negeri 1 Tanggetada, Tanggetada District, Kolaka Regency. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, consisting of 30 students each from classes X1 (experimental group) and X3 (control group) of the same school. This quasi-experimental study employed quantitative research methods. Data were collected using test instruments, and the analysis techniques applied included Ngain analysis, independent t-test, homogeneity test, and normality test. The research results show that the H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted, with a tcount of 5.239 and a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000, which is less than the alpha level of 0.05. It indicates that the experimental class taught with the PAKEM model performed better in mathematical problem-solving than the control class taught through direct instruction. Qualitative analysis showed that three students' strong potential in solving mathematical problems through the application of the PAKEM learning model. The pretest and posttest scores show significant improvement: the experimental group increased from 57.90 to 85.13, while the control group improved from 56.57 to 78.13. These results indicate that the PAKEM model, grounded in regional local wisdom, has greater instructional effectiveness than direct instruction in improving students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between learning readiness and students' argumentation patterns in mathematics learning, and to describe these patterns using Toulmin's argumentation model. Using a mixed-methods approach with a parallel convergent design, this study was conducted in class XI of SMA Negeri 1 Gresik in 5 parallel courses. Subjects were selected through purposive sampling, resulting in three students with different learning readiness levels: advanced, developing, and needing guidance. Data were obtained through tests, think-aloud, and interviews. The data obtained consisted of quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data in the form of student argumentation ability scores were subjected to statistical tests to determine their correlation with the level of learning readiness. At the same time, the qualitative data obtained were identified based on Toulmin's argumentation pattern. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results showed a positive correlation between learning readiness and students' argumentation ability in mathematics learning. Additionally, it was found that students with different learning readiness categories exhibited distinct mathematical argumentation patterns. In students with learning readiness who need guidance, the argumentation patterns used are claim, ground, and warrant. Students with developing and advanced learning readiness exhibit argumentation patterns, which include claims, bases, warrants, support, and qualifications. This study differs from previous studies in that learning readiness is measured by the ability to understand prerequisite material, rather than general learning readiness.
