Abstract

Inclusive education has emerged as a critical initiative in promoting equitable learning opportunities for all students, including those with special needs. One of the central challenges in implementing inclusive education lies in identifying and supporting slow learners, particularly in mathematics, where learning difficulties often remain undetected or are misdiagnosed. This study investigates the awareness, experiences and support needs of senior secondary school (SMA/MA/SMK) mathematics teachers in Indonesia regarding inclusive education. The focus of the research is to discover and address the needs of slow learners. A survey was conducted of 173 mathematics teachers from various regions across the country to find out what they know about inclusive education, how they interact with students with special needs, and methods for identifying students who are slow learners in the classroom. The results show that although many teachers understand the importance of inclusive education, formal programs for inclusive education are still limited in many schools. Most teachers can identify various difficulties that students may face. Teachers also say that diagnostic tools are needed to help identify students who are experiencing math difficulties. They emphasized that relying on subjective observations without adequate resources is a very difficult problem. This study shows that the development of specific diagnostic tools is essential to support and identify slow learners early on. In line with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), which aims to ensure that all students receive an equitable and inclusive education, regardless of their difficulties, this research supports the broader goal of achieving equitable quality education. To support inclusive education, raising awareness, increasing access to diagnostic tools, and targeted pedagogical support are all important steps. This is especially true for teaching mathematics.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of Digital Learning Ecosystem (DLE) activities on the mathematical literacy of pre-service teachers, emphasizing the connection between theoretical knowledge and practical application. A cohort of 30 pre-service mathematics educators was chosen via simple random sampling. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design using pretest-posttests to evaluate the efficacy of DLE activities. The tools comprised four lesson plans grounded in DLE principles, a mathematical literacy exam consistent with the OECD's PISA methodology, and a satisfaction survey to assess participants' engagement and perceptions. The results demonstrated a statistically significant enhancement (p 0.001) in participants' mathematical literacy, accompanied by a large effect size (Cohen's d = 1.34), underscoring the considerable influence of DLE interventions. Participants indicated elevated satisfaction across multiple dimensions, including engagement (M = 4.70, SD = 0.42), perceived effectiveness (M = 4.63, SD = 0.48), and accessibility (M = 4.55, SD = 0.51). Qualitative feedback emphasized the significance of interactive components, including simulations, collaborative tools, and real-world problem-solving activities, in improving comprehension and motivation. These findings highlight the transformative capacity of DLE activities in pre-service teacher education, especially in enhancing critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and mathematical literacy. The study provides important insights into the integration of digital tools into teacher training programs to prepare educators for increasingly digital classrooms. Future research should look at the long-term impacts and adaptability of DLE activities in different educational settings in order to improve their efficacy.

Abstract

Indonesia is an agrarian country that produces fruits in abundant quantities and in various variations. Fruits contain diverse contents, one of which can be utilized as a dielectric capacitor. This research is conducted to provide senior high school students with an understanding of the influence of dielectrics from several fruits on capacitance. This experiment analyzed the maturity level of fruits and their effectiveness as dielectric capacitors for parallel plate capacitors. Due to the maturity level of fruits being composed of many variables, this study is focused on differences in water content, sugar concentration, and acidity level. Through laboratory experiments, researchers examined these factors in guava, papaya, pear, mango, and apple fruits. The capacitance value of parallel plates is measured using an LCR meter, and it is found that the capacitance of parallel plates with air dielectric increases significantly when infiltrated with fruit dielectric. Water content has a significant influence. The capacitance value is also high in fruits with high water content and vice versa. Meanwhile, the influence of sugar concentration is less significant in this study, only noticeable in papaya fruits. However, this is supported by the fruit's acidity level as seen from its pH value. Fruits with high pH values also have high capacitance. Experiments found that as fruits ripen, their water content, sugar concentration, and pH value tend to increase. This causes mature fruits to be more effective when used as dielectric capacitors.

Abstract

This research aimed to develop and evaluate learning media for sustainable development, specifically through a board game entitled “Board Game Maju Indonesiaku”. The game is designed around the dilemma between biodiversity conservation and economic development, covering four core systems concepts: economics, policy, society, and ecology. The study involved 61 middle school students who played the game for 360 minutes (180 minutes per week). Data was collected through post-test assessments and game performance. An independent t-test was used to analyze the post-test scores. The results showed a significant improvement in students' understanding, with a moderate effect size overall. Notably, there were large effects on the biodiversity concept dimension and moderate effects on the biological conservation concept dimension. The game performance analysis indicated that secondary school students faced challenges in achieving the four sustainable economic development goals. This research highlights the potential of game-based learning as an effective strategy for teaching complex concepts related to sustainable development. It also underscores the need for further refinement of educational tools better to support student understanding and application of these concepts.
