Abstract

This research is motivated by the low understanding of mathematics concepts of grade II students in addition and subtraction of integers, as well as the lack of student involvement in the learning process. This research aims to improve the understanding of mathematical concepts through the application of Panjurang (Addition and Subtraction Board) media. The type of research used is Class Action Research (CAR) which is carried out in two cycles, each consisting of the planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of the study were 20 students of grade II UPT SPF SD Inpres Ikip Campus. Measurement of concept comprehension refers to the classic Bloom Taxonomy of Comprehension (C2) level, which includes translation, interpretation, and extrapolation abilities because all three aspects are relevant to assessing students' understanding of symbols, meanings, and patterns in computational operations. In Cycle I, the results of observations showed that the learning process from both the teacher and student side and the learning outcomes were still in the category of adequate. After improvements were made in Cycle II, there was a significant improvement in all aspects, namely the learning process from the teacher's side, the learning process from the student side, and learning outcomes, increasing to the good category. This increase is characterized by more active student involvement, more optimal use of Panjurang media, and increased student learning completeness. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of Panjurang media is effective in improving the understanding of mathematics concepts of grade II students in addition and subtraction materials.

Abstract

The limited participation and motivation of students in conventional, lecturer-centered learning environments highlight the necessity for technological innovations that actively promote student engagement. This study aims to design and develop an interactive learning medium utilizing ClassPoint for the Linear Algebra course. The research adopted the ADDIE development model, encompassing the analysis, design, and development phases, and was limited to the validation stage. Two experts served as validators: one in content and the other in instructional media. Validation data were analyzed through quantitative descriptive techniques by calculating the mean percentage score and categorizing feasibility across four assessment aspects—content, presentation, language, and visual design. The validation results revealed that the ClassPoint-based learning media achieved a “highly valid” classification, with an average score exceeding 83%. These findings indicate that the developed media are suitable for classroom implementation and have strong potential to enhance students’ motivation and engagement through interactive features. Future research is recommended to evaluate the effectiveness of the media during the implementation stage, particularly concerning learning outcomes and the development of 21st-century skills.. Keywords: ClassPoint, interactive learning media, media validation, Linear Algebra, ADDIE model.

Abstract

Many reports show that Junior High School students still face difficulties in spatial abilities, especially in geometry. Students often struggle with visualizing objects, interpreting 3D representations, and performing mental rotations. Learning that is still teacher-centered also limits students’ opportunities to explore and develop spatial reasoning. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model in developing students’ spatial abilities through a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. The review was conducted using the PRISMA guidelines to ensure a transparent and comprehensive selection process. The study examined eight selected articles identified by Google Scholar, Garuda, and Academia. The analysis reveals that PBL effectively enhances middle school students’ spatial abilities in mathematics, particularly in visualization, mental rotation, and spatial reasoning. The model also strengthens critical, creative, and reflective thinking as essential 21st-century competencies. Furthermore, technology-assisted PBL such as SketchUp and differentiated facilitation based on cognitive styles further optimize learning outcomes. However, challenges remain in teacher readiness and access to digital media. The findings confirm that PBL is not only an effective instructional method but also a transformative pedagogical approach to cultivate spatial intelligence and problem-solving skills in mathematics education.

Abstract

Development of mathematics learning media using the STEAM approach as a strategic effort in the process of adapting 21st century learning. The purpose of this study is to determine the process of developing mathematics learning media in an effort to improve the quality of deep learning. The research method used is the 4D development method consisting of Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The subjects of this study were prospective mathematics teachers who were taking a mathematics animation multimedia course. In the define stage, prospective teachers analyzed materials that were considered difficult by students from teaching field practice or from previous learning experiences. Data containing materials that were difficult for students to learn were then analyzed to develop relevant media to reduce students' difficulties in understanding certain materials. Information collection related to student difficulties was obtained through the process of observation, direct interviews, and documentation of student learning outcomes to determine the causes of difficulties and from the difficult material identified for product design that could help students overcome their difficulties. The design was then followed up with the development of mathematical animation multimedia. In accessing mathematics learning so that it could be accessed by many parties, prospective teachers developed it in web form using Coding entered in Visual Studio Code which leads to HTML. The website containing mathematical animation multimedia was taught to teachers from Cambodia. Based on the animated multimedia created, Cambodian teachers gave positive appreciation and stated that the animated media created was appropriate. Keywords : Media, STEAM, Deep Learning

Abstract

Physics learning at the junior secondary school level on the topics of Uniform Linear Motion and Uniformly Accelerated Linear Motion often shows low conceptual understanding due to limited use of contextual and visual instructional media. This study aims to develop and examine the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) instructional videos in improving students’ conceptual understanding. The research employed a Research and Development approach using the ADDIE model and adopted a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest involving 36 students as trial subjects. The instruments included expert validation sheets, conceptual understanding tests, and student response questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, paired-sample t-tests, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the instructional video product was categorized as highly feasible based on expert validation and student responses (89.7%). The students’ mean scores increased from 57.97 to 69.44, with a reduction in variance and standard deviation, indicating a more even distribution of conceptual understanding. The normality test confirmed that the data were normally distributed, and the paired-sample t-test revealed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001). The N-Gain value of 0.27 was in the low–moderate category, indicating initial effectiveness. Therefore, the developed PBL instructional videos indicate initial effectiveness in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding and can be considered a feasible instructional innovation for junior secondary school physics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to observe the differences in students' mathematical problem-solving abilities and learning independence in learning with the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach based on Engineering Design Thinking (EDT), the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach, and conventional learning. This study is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest control group design. The study population was all seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 7 Bengkulu City in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data analysis was carried out using one-way ANOVA. The results showed that there were significant differences in students' mathematical problem-solving abilities taught with the PMRI approach based on EDT, PMRI, and conventional learning (F = 3.629; p = 0.031 < 0.05). The average posttest of students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in the PMRI class based on Engineering Design Thinking was 28.75, the PMRI class was 26.84, and the conventional learning class was 24.42. In addition, there was a significant difference in student learning independence between the three learning groups (F = 3.734; p = 0.029 < 0.05). The average student learning independence in the EDT-based PMRI class was 73.94, higher than the PMRI class (68.95) and the conventional learning class (68.13). Based on these results, EDT-based PMRI learning is more effective in improving students' mathematical problem-solving abilities and learning independence.
