Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed modern digital infrastructure by enabling intelligent connectivity among billions of devices across industries, healthcare, transportation, and smart homes. However, the rapid expansion of IoT networks has introduced serious security challenges, including weak authentication, unauthorized access, data interception, and limited device resources. This study proposes a comprehensive IoT security framework that integrates mathematical modeling, lightweight encryption, artificial intelligence, and Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Graph theory is applied to analyze trust propagation and identify vulnerable nodes within IoT networks, while dynamic trust scores are used to improve authentication and anomaly detection. Simulation results from a 25-node IoT environment demonstrate that the proposed integrated model achieves higher trust accuracy and detection rates with low computational overhead compared to traditional security approaches. The findings indicate that combining mathematical optimization with Zero Trust principles provides an adaptive, scalable, and efficient solution for strengthening IoT cybersecurity in modern interconnected systems

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the levels of mathematics anxiety and interest among fifth-grade students in preparation for the Computer-Based National Assessment (ANBK). Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 60 students at SDIP YLPI Pekanbaru using a structured, closed-ended questionnaire designed to measure both anxiety and interest levels related to mathematics learning. The findings revealed a range of responses, with a significant number of students experiencing moderate to high anxiety, while interest levels varied from moderate to low among many participants. These results highlight the need for educators to implement targeted interventions aimed at reducing anxiety and increasing student interest in mathematics. Strategies that focus on personalized support can help build students’ confidence, reducing feelings of apprehension and improving their overall academic experience. Additionally, incorporating interactive and enjoyable teaching methods, supported by adequate resources and learning media provided by schools, is crucial to fostering a positive learning environment. Such efforts are vital to better prepare students for the challenges of the ANBK and to promote sustained interest in mathematics.

Abstract

Low student interest remains a persistent issue in mathematics education. This study investigated the effectiveness of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach in enhancing students’ interest in learning mathematics. The research involved all students from a public junior high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using a quasi-experimental design, two eighth-grade classes were selected as the experimental and control groups, with 34 students in each class. Data were collected through a learning-interest questionnaire and classroom observations. The questionnaire employed a Likert scale and was administered before and after the treatment. Instrument validity was examined using the Pearson Product Moment correlation, while reliability was tested through Cronbach’s Alpha. The findings indicated that CTL significantly improved students’ learning interest compared with the conventional expository approach. Students in the experimental class showed greater enthusiasm, participation, and engagement during mathematics lessons because the learning activities were connected to real-life situations and meaningful experiences. Statistical analysis using a one-sample t-test and an independent-sample t-test at a 5% significance level confirmed that the increase in learning interest among students taught through CTL was significantly higher than that of students taught through expository instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between demand and supply in a Spicy Smashed Fried Chicken business around UIN Suska Riau and its application in mathematics learning. The research used a descriptive quantitative approach with a case-study design. Primary data were collected in December 2024 on Jl. Buluh Cina, Pekanbaru, through purposive sampling involving one business owner and six observations of daily transactions at different price levels. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression under the assumption of ceteris paribus. The results indicate that an increase of Rp1,000 in price decreases demand by approximately 5 portions per day and increases supply by approximately 5 portions per day. The market equilibrium occurs at a price of Rp12,500 with an equilibrium quantity of around 37–38 portions per day. These findings provide insights for culinary MSMEs in determining pricing strategies based on market conditions, especially among students who are sensitive to price changes. In addition, the resulting linear models can be applied in Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) to help students understand mathematical modeling through real-world contexts

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of the ARIAS learning model (Assurance, Relevance, Interest, Assessment, and Satisfaction) assisted by Wordwall in improving elementary students’ creative thinking and engagement in mathematics learning, particularly on equivalent fractions. The study employed a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group. The participants consisted of 42 fourth-grade students from two public elementary schools in the Diponegoro cluster, Sumbang District, Banyumas Regency, with 21 students in the experimental class and 21 students in the control class. Data were collected through essay tests, observation sheets, and student engagement questionnaires. The results showed that students taught using the ARIAS model assisted by Wordwall achieved higher creative thinking scores (M = 86.48, SD = 8.02) than students in the control class (M = 74.00, SD = 5.33), with a significant difference (p < .001). Student engagement was also significantly higher in the experimental class (M = 88.57, SD = 5.86) compared to the control class (M = 69.81, SD = 5.89). These findings indicate that the ARIAS learning model assisted by Wordwall effectively enhances both creative thinking and student engagement in elementary mathematics learning.
