Abstract

This study intends to analyze students' ability to determine the order of positive and negative integers and to identify the difficulties they experience in understanding the concept. The subject matter is important because many students still experience confusion in comparing and ordering integers, especially when negative numbers are involved. This type of research uses a qualitative-descriptive approach. This study was conducted in grade VI of a public junior high school 13, Jember, with 32 students selected based on the willingness of the school and teachers, but only 6 students who met the criteria were selected. The instruments used included a written test and in-depth interviews. The results showed that students' understanding of the ordering of positive and negative integers is relatively low. Students often face challenges in distinguishing and ordering positive and negative numbers, especially when dealing with number lines or mixed operations. The main factor contributing to students' challenges is a lack of understanding of the basic concepts of integers and their application on the number line. Students sometimes experience confusion regarding the order of numbers due to their incomplete understanding of numerical positions on the number line, as well as the principle of absolute value and the meaning of positive and negative signs. The results of this study are expected to provide a general overview of students' level of understanding and provide recommendations for effective learning strategies to improve their ability to correctly order integers.

Abstract

The transformation of civic engagement education in Indonesia's democratic system post-COVID-19 is of particular concern, given the significant changes in mindsets, behaviors, and societal demands. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the experiences and perceptions of young people involved in youth organizations regarding the changes occurring in civic engagement education post-COVID-19. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. Subjects included academics, students, government officials, community activists or NGOs, and the general public involved in or affected by civic engagement education. Data collection techniques included interviews, participant observation, and other supporting instruments. Data analysis was conducted inductively. Interview transcripts and observation results were analyzed in depth to identify emerging themes and patterns. The results of this study indicate that although civic engagement education in youth organizations has been quite successful in informing students about the importance of political participation, feelings of skepticism and apathy towards politics continue to hinder youth from actively participating. This poses a challenge for future civic engagement education, which must create a stronger connection between the knowledge taught and the social and political realities faced by young people. Furthermore, there is a need to further integrate civic engagement education into young people's daily experiences, not just the theory learned in classes or seminars. Civic engagement education has undergone a transformation post-COVID-19, yet many young people feel disconnected from Indonesia's democratic process.

Abstract

This study intends to compare the use of two artificial intelligence-based applications, namely Photomath and ChatGPT-4o, in supporting fraction learning for mathematics education students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study design. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and observations of three active second-semester students from a private university in Gorontalo Province who have used both applications in independent learning activities. The results indicate that Photomath is effective in providing fast and automatic solutions with systematic steps, but it is less in-depth in explaining mathematical concepts and does not present alternative solutions. In contrast, ChatGPT-4o is able to provide in-depth conceptual explanations, invite users to understand the logic behind each stage of the solution, and offer various approaches to solving problems, although the interactive process is slower. These findings indicate that Photomath is more suitable for quick practice, while ChatGPT-4o is ideal for conceptual learning and interactive discussions. This study has implications for the use of AI technology in mathematics learning and serves as a foundation for the development of more adaptive and effective digital-based teaching strategies.

Abstract

The affective filter hypothesis is critical to comprehending how emotions impact language learning, yet limited research exists on its correlation to other languages, specifically to Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) students studying Spanish as a foreign language. This study was to investigate the affective filter levels of BSED students from different majors and examine how their perceptions of classroom-related factors influence their language learning experiences. Using a quantitative, descriptive-comparative design and proportional stratified sampling, data were collected via an adapted version of Robert C. Gardner’s Attitude/Motivation Test Battery (AMTB), administered both online and in print. The results revealed that English and Values Education majors reported higher levels of affective filter, while Filipino majors exhibited lower levels, indicating that emotional barriers vary across different fields of specialization. Furthermore, there was strong agreement among students regarding the positive impact of classroom dynamics—such as teaching style, peer interaction, and the learning environment—on reducing emotional barriers and enhancing motivation. These findings emphasize the importance of teachers creating emotionally supportive learning environments that could help lower the affective filter and nurture better language learning outcomes. With these, further research involving more diverse student populations that focuses more on individual experiences and exploring additional foreign languages is recommended.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship among mother tongue (Urhobo language), socio-economic status, and the academic performance of social studies students in upper basic schools in Delta State. The study focused on one independent variable, mother tongue (Urhobo language instruction), while academic performance was the dependent variable, and socioeconomic status was adopted as a moderating variable. A quasi-experimental pre-test post-test control group design was the research design. The population comprised 80,912 Upper Basic 8 Social Studies students in Delta State during the 2023/2024 academic session. A sample of 100 students was selected using multistage, purposive, and random sampling techniques. One school was used as the experimental group, receiving instructions in the Urhobo language, while the control group was taught in the English language. Data was collected using a Social Studies Mother Tongue Test (SSMTT), which had a reliability coefficient of 0.89. Research questions were answered using descriptive statistics, while hypotheses were tested using a t-test at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that students taught social studies with their mother tongue performed significantly better than those taught with English, demonstrating that mother-tongue instruction enhances comprehension, retention, and engagement. Additionally, socio-economic status did not moderate the relationship between mother tongue and academic performance of students, suggesting that language familiarity is more influential than financial status. The study recommended policy initiatives, promoting indigenous language instruction, and increased parental support for mother-tongue learning. These findings contribute to educational research by reinforcing the cognitive advantages of using mother tongue for teaching and its potential for improving learning outcomes across socioeconomic groups.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the application of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model with the help of the GeoGebra application to increase students' learning motivation for geometric transformation material, especially translation. This study is a form of classroom action research carried out in two cycles in class XI E of High School 4 Palu involving 35 students. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection steps. In cycle I, the material is related to translation to points, while in cycle II, it is related to translation to lines. Data were collected through a learning motivation questionnaire and observation sheets, which were analyzed descriptively. The results indicated that students' learning motivation increased from cycle I to cycle II. In cycle I, only 6 students (17.1%) were included in the strong motivation category, while 11 students (31.5%) were included in the low category. After the improvement in Cycle II, the number of highly motivated students increased to 15 (42.8%), while those in the low group decreased to only 2 (5.8%). Observational data shows increased student engagement and enjoyment in learning. Consequently, the implementation of the GeoGebra-assisted PBL paradigm has proven successful in increasing motivation in mathematics learning.
