Abstract

The number of students who make mistakes when answering questions related to the Pythagorean Theorem is the impetus for this study, with the aim of identifying errors made by students, as well as calculating the percentage of students who make mistakes related to the Pythagorean theorem based on the Kastolan stage, where students who are the subjects of this study are class VIII students of MTs. Nurul Bahri Kabila Bone. Using quantitative descriptive research methods, data derived from the answers of 17 students were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. Six validated description questions were used as research instruments containing questions related to the Pythagorean theorem. The results obtained the percentage of students who made Kastolan stage errors, namely: (1) conceptual errors of 52.9%, with an average of 9 students making this type of error; (2) procedural errors of 82.4%, with an average of 14 students making this type of error; and (3) technical errors of 33.3% with an average of 6 students making this type of error. The errors that obtained the largest percentage of the findings were procedural errors, with the errors encountered including students' unwillingness to solve the problem completely, not recording the known and asked information, and not concluding the answer.

Abstract

Mathematics is often perceived as abstract and disconnected from students’ daily lives, yet ethnomathematics highlights that mathematical ideas are embedded in cultural practices. This study explores the ethnomathematical concepts found in the preparation of Ilabulo, a traditional food of Gorontalo, Indonesia, through a qualitative ethnographic approach involving observation, documentation, and informal interviews with two local participants. The findings reveal two main concepts: ratio and proportion in mixing ingredients and geometry in wrapping and shaping, both of which were mapped to relevant school mathematics topics and further developed into contextual word problems. In addition, the study suggests that the process of preparing Ilabulo can be adapted into a video-based learning resource to support the problem-orientation stage in Problem Based Learning (PBL). These results demonstrate that everyday cultural practices can serve as meaningful contexts for mathematics learning, making abstract concepts more engaging and relevant while also strengthening students’ cultural identity.

Abstract

The low level of students’ mathematical problem-solving ability remains a challenge in the learning process, particularly in statistics topics. One effective approach to address this issue is scaffolding, which provides temporary support that helps students understand problems and find solutions independently. However, in classroom settings, individualized scaffolding is often suboptimal due to the large number of students compared to the limited number of teachers and the relatively short instructional time. This study aims to develop a computer-based scaffolding interactive learning medium that is feasible and practical for enhancing students’ mathematical problem-solving ability. The research employed a Research and Development (RD) design using the ADDIE model, consisting of five stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The media were developed using Canva, Microsoft PowerPoint, and iSpring Suite, and published via GitHub Pages for online accessibility. The validation results showed a feasibility score of 91.11% from material experts and 93.33% from media experts, both categorized as excellent. The practicality tests conducted by teachers and students each obtained a score of 92%, indicating that the media are easy to use and effective in facilitating learning. Therefore, the interactive learning media “Stafolding” are considered feasible and practical to be used as a computer-based scaffolding tool in mathematics learning.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop UNO Math Cards using Google Slides with validity, practicality, and effectiveness in the TGT learning model to enhance student’s mathematical reasoning ability. This research employed RD (Research and Development) with the 4D model (Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate) involving 32 students in the experimental class. The findings revealed that the product achieved a validity score of 88.1%, categorized as very valid. A practicality score of 86.25%, indicating that the media is practical to use. An efectiveness value of 0.6603, showing that the media is effective in improving students’ mathematical reasoning ability. Therefore, the UNO Math Cards using Google Slides are declared valid, practical, and effective for use in the TGT learning model to support students’ mathematical reasoning skills

Abstract

This research is development research aimed at producing valid and practical products in the form of interactive learning media. The research employed a development research methode using a four-D (Define, Design, Develop and Disseminate) development model. It was conducted on students of class VIII at SMP N 1 Kwandang, North Gorontalo Regency, during the odd semester of the 2022 / 2023 academic year. The results indicated that the quality of the product being developed met the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. This was shown from the validation results for both media and material with an average validator score of 4.67, falling within the highly valid category. The analysis of the practicality aspect in the small group trials scored with 84.17% meeting the very practical criteria and the large group trials achieved an average score of 84.88%, also meeting the very practical criteria. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the interactive learning media assisted by the kinemaster application that was developed is valid and practical for the topic of Relations and Functions for class VIII at SMP N 1 Kwandang.
