Abstract

The New Student Admission System for senior high schools in Semarang still faces challenges in achieving fair and proportional selection. The dominant zoning policy often ignores students' academic potential; therefore, a more comprehensive recommendation system is needed. This study proposes the development of a deep learning-based school recommendation system using a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) architecture with a backpropagation algorithm. The dataset consists of 16 public senior high schools in Semarang, with the main variables including exam scores, age, school capacity, and distance from student residence calculated using the Euclidean distance method. The data is divided into a training set and a test set, with normalization applied to all numeric features. The training results show high accuracy. The system is able to generate school recommendation rankings that are visualized in tabular formats and interactive maps. Experimental results indicate that distance and school capacity contribute significantly to determining preference scores. Therefore, this study confirms that the deep learning approach is more adaptive than the rule-based linear method and can be an alternative solution to support a fairer and more transparent Student Admissions policy. For further research, it is recommended to develop the system by adding more diverse variables, real-time data integration, and implementing a more complex deep learning architecture to optimize the quality of recommendations.

Abstract

Limited vocabulary among elementary learners hinders effective English communication and calls for more engaging instructional media. This research investigated the influence of the Baamboozle platform on the English vocabulary achievement of fourth-grade students in the 2024/2025 academic year at MI Islamiyah Ciwaru. The study adopted a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group, consisting of 64 participants divided equally into experimental and control classes. Students’ vocabulary achievement was assessed through pre-test and post-test instruments, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity checks, as well as an independent samples t-test via IBM SPSS Statistics 25. Findings indicated that the experimental group’s average score improved from 56.25 to 86.56, whereas the control group’s average rose from 55.94 to 79.37; the between-group difference was statistically significant (p = 0.015). The findings indicated that Baamboozle was an effective and engaging medium for improving elementary students’ English vocabulary mastery

Abstract

Mathematical abstraction skills, which include concept recognition, relationship development, and new knowledge formation, are necessary for understanding basic algebra. The abstraction process can be analyzed through students' epistemic actions using the AiC Model, which helps identify how students recognize, develop, and actively construct mathematical concepts. This study aims to explore and describe the epistemic actions of seventh-grade students in performing mathematical abstraction, thereby providing insights that can be used to develop more effective algebra teaching strategies. The results show that only S1 was able to effectively apply epistemic actions in mathematical abstraction, even though this student had not yet reached the stage of constructing new knowledge. Meanwhile, other students experienced difficulties, especially in recognizing incorrect knowledge structures and performing constructing and building actions. These difficulties were largely due to incomplete algebraic knowledge, which prevented students from using theoretical thinking effectively and reorganizing their knowledge. Based on these findings, teachers are advised to emphasize a deep conceptual understanding of algebra rather than memorization. In addition, the use of contextual and visual representations should be strengthened to help students connect concrete and abstract concepts. Teachers can also design progressive tasks that guide students through recognition, relationship building, and systematic knowledge construction.

Abstract

Affective factors such as math anxiety have become a global concern in elementary education, as they have the potential to hinder students' cognitive development and engagement in mathematics learning. In the context of public elementary schools in a semi-urban area of Sragen Regency, this study aimed to analyze the effect of learning motivation on mathematics anxiety in fourth-grade students. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design, focusing on the comparison between the intervention group and the control group. A total of 95 students were selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire based on Self-Determination Theory and a validated mathematics anxiety scale. The analysis showed that increasing learning motivation significantly reduced levels of mathematics anxiety. Moreover, linear regression indicated a strong negative relationship between the two variables, with learning motivation explaining most of the variance in anxiety. These findings confirm that strengthening intrinsic motivation plays a significant role in reducing students' emotional distress towards mathematics. Therefore, motivation-based pedagogical strategies are recommended as an effective approach to creating a more positive and adaptive learning experience in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between mentorship and growth mindset among interns, with intrinsic motivation and work engagement as mediating variables. Using a quantitative approach with a correlational explanatory design, data were collected from university students participating in internship programs through a Likert-scale questionnaire adapted from standardized instruments measuring mentorship, intrinsic motivation, work engagement, and growth mindset. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique. The results indicated that mentorship had a positive and significant effect on the growth mindset of interns. Furthermore, intrinsic motivation and work engagement were found to partially mediate this relationship, implying that effective mentor support should be complemented by internal motivation and active involvement from students to optimize the development of a growth mindset. These findings highlight the importance of collaborative efforts between educational institutions and internship programs in developing comprehensive mentoring systems. Theoretically, this study contributes to the literature on educational and organizational psychology, while practically offering insights for designing internship programs that foster adaptive, resilient, and motivated future professionals.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an Informatics learning website based on Inquiry Learning to improve student learning outcomes at SMA Free Methodist. The background of this research lies in the low level of student engagement in Informatics classes and the limited availability of digital media that supports exploration and independent critical thinking. Inquiry Learning is considered an appropriate approach for fostering active, discovery-based learning, while the website serves as an accessible and interactive platform for delivering instructional content. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method, applying the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The research subjects included 30 tenth-grade students. Data collection tools comprised expert validation sheets, student response questionnaires, observations, and learning outcome tests. The results indicate that the developed website is valid according to evaluations from content and media experts. Students responded very positively to the interactive features such as quizzes, tutorial videos, discussion forums, and inquiry-based assignments. The inquiry learning model applied through the website effectively enhanced students' conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and overall academic performance. In conclusion, the Inquiry Learning-based Informatics website is highly effective and suitable for use as an innovative digital learning medium at the senior high school level.

Abstract

This study explores the application of Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) as a participatory education strategy in a stunting reduction program in Garut Regency, a region facing unequal access, limited infrastructure, and low community involvement in educational decision-making. A qualitative SSM-based approach was used. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews (45-60 minutes) and participant observation with 60 purposively selected respondents: elementary/junior high school teachers, parents/guardians, education officials, village/sub-district heads, school committee members, and representatives from businesses/NGOs drawn from three districts representing geographic variation and accessibility. Analysis with NVivo 14 used thematic coding, word clouds, and matrix coding. Four main themes emerged: (1) access and infrastructure challenges (32% of 3,456 coded references), (2) diverse stakeholder engagement (28%), (3) curriculum adaptation based on local Sundanese culture (21%), and (4) the impact of SSM on sustainable change (19%). Matrix coding showed a strong correlation between the intensity of stakeholder engagement and the perceived effectiveness of SSM-based change. These findings confirm SSM as an effective learning approach for designing contextual participatory education programs and contribute to SDG 4 on quality education for designing stunting reduction interventions.

Abstract

Learning psychology in Junior High School contributes to the development of students in learning mathematics, involving behaviour, mindset, and application of science in everyday life. This research applies learning media to the concept of geometry of the spatial plane, specifically linear equations of 2 variables. The aim was to improve students' understanding and measure their dependence on calculators in solving SPLDV problems. The results showed a comparison between the conditions before the provision of learning methods or educational media. Previously, only a few students were familiar with learning about SPLDV. However, after the application of educational media, there was a significant increase in students' understanding of mathematics material, especially regarding linear equations of 2 variables. The implication is that this approach can be the basis for improving mathematics learning at the Junior High School level, reducing dependence on calculators, and having a positive impact on student learning outcomes.

Abstract

In the interaction of learning in the school environment, students are inseparable from the problems that exist in the school climate and are regularly able to be owned by students, one of which is fatigue in learning. This study aims to understand the level of saturation of students in learning mathematics on the material of online multiplication, compared to direct learning. The research used quantitative methods with data collection techniques through interviews and tests, using Pre test and Post test instruments. The results of the research at SMPN 04 Medan showed that the learning saturation of ninth grade students was in the moderate category, with a percentage of 45%. This finding indicates the need for more attention to the level of learning saturation to improve learning effectiveness. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between learning saturation and mathematics learning outcomes of grade IX students, with a moderate correlation and negative relationship. This indicates that the higher the level of learning saturation, the lower the mathematics learning outcomes.
