Abstract

Mathematical literacy or numeracy has gained more attention in the education world in Indonesia. This can be seen through various efforts by the Ministry of Education to continually improve it. The research aims to provide an overview of the implementation of mathematics learning in junior high schools in Surakarta, resulting in the numeracy outcomes of students. This study adopts a qualitative approach with a case study strategy. The research data includes the implementation of numeracy, teacher activities, student activities, school environment, and documents. Data sources come from informants, including teachers and students. Data collection techniques involve interviews and documentation. The research findings reveal that the implementation of mathematics learning that strengthens numeracy at SMP Negeri 11 Surakarta and SMP Muhammadiyah Special Program Surakarta is in the stages of habituation and development. Mathematics teachers play roles as motivators, guides, and facilitators. Activities undertaken include providing books, familiarizing students with solving numeracy problems, assigning tasks, motivating students, organizing activities related to numeracy improvement, imparting knowledge, and allowing students to conduct studies.

Abstract

Literacy is the ability to understand, use, and interpret written information. One of the fundamental forms of literacy that is embedded in everyday life is numerical literacy, which refers to an individual's ability to apply numerical and arithmetic concepts in daily life and interpret quantitative information in their surroundings. This research aims to develop a valid, practical, and effective interactive storytelling-based learning video to enhance students' numerical literacy in geometry. To this end, Plomp’s research and development method was applied. The result showed that, firstly, the developed product was valid, with an average total validity score of 0.910 for content validation and 0.860 for media validation. Secondly, the product was deemed practical, with an average score of 91.67% based on teacher evaluation and 80.31% based on student evaluation. Thirdly, the product was considered effective in improving students' numerical literacy, with calculated values t obs = 11.5084 and critical region = {t, t>1.721}, as well as an average N-Gain score of 0.668, indicating a moderate level of improvement. These results indicate that the developed interactive storytelling-based learning video is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing students' numerical literacy in geometry.

Abstract

Indonesia is currently undergoing changes towards the era of society 5.0 after passing through the 4.0 revolution. In the face of such changes in a short time, it is important for human resources to have 21st century skills or 4Cs such as critical thinking and problem solving, creativity and innovation, communication, and collaboration. Therefore, along with the development of education that is increasingly complex, problem-solving skills and students' mindset are crucial aspects that need to be developed in the learning process of Mathematics. Therefore, this study investigates the effectiveness of Mondrian Art Puzzle as an innovative learning stimulus with the aim of influencing problem-solving ability and mindset development. In this quantitative research study, data were collected through tests and questionnaires in both experimental classes. The first class used Mondrian Cube (apps) and Mondrian Paintings (handout), while the second class only used Mondrian Cube. The findings show that the combination of Mondrian Cube and Mondrian Paintings is more effective in improving mathematical problem-solving skills than Mondrian Cube alone. Although not statistically significant, Mondrian Art Puzzles has the potential to encourage the development of mindset by reducing fixed mindset students and increasing growth mindset students, thus having a positive impact on learning mathematics.

Abstract

This study aims to develop higher order thinking skills (HOTS) problem on linear algebra with an Islamic context. This study was conducted because undergraduate students are unable to solve HOTS questions, so they need practice and questions for training. The question development process uses the Tessmer development model, which consists of preliminary, self-evaluation, prototyping (expert review, one-to-one, and small group), and field test stages. However, the field test stage was not implemented due to time constraints that prevented the researcher from conducting a comprehensive field test. The research subjects were undergraduate mathematics education students divided into three groups based on high, medium, and low ability levels. The validity of the questions was measured using CVR and CVI. The analysis results showed that the 12 developed questions had a CVI score of 1.00, categorized as highly valid. These questions not only measure undergraduate students' higher-order thinking skills but also provide stimulation in the form of Islamic values. Further research is expected to proceed to the field test stage.

Abstract

The lack of variety of learning methods and teaching materials that are not contextualized causes low creative thinking skills and entrepreneurial attitudes of students in learning chemistry. This study aims to determine the differences in creative thinking skills and entrepreneurial attitudes of students simultaneously and respectively between groups using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model integrated with Ketapang natural resources and groups using a scientific approach. This research is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design, involving four XII classes that were randomly selected using cluster random sampling, with two classes (72 students) assigned to the experimental group receiving PjBL learning and two classes (70 students) to the control group receiving scientific approach learning. The instruments used were creative thinking skills test and entrepreneurial attitude questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and MANOVA test. The results showed significant differences both simultaneously and per variable between the experimental and control classes. The integrated PjBL model made an effective contribution of 21.5% to both variables simultaneously, 13.6% to creative thinking skills, and 17.3% to entrepreneurial attitudes. This finding indicates that the project-based learning model associated with local potential is able to significantly improve students' thinking competencies and entrepreneurial attitudes.

Abstract

Ethnobotany is the study of plants from the point of view of local residents who still hold traditions from generation to generation. Kuthomoro tradition is a praying tradition to the ancestor by Karaton Yogyakarta, one of the kingdoms in Indonesia that still stands until today. The tradition largely uses plants as the ritual equipment, however, the research about the use of Kuthomoro context as a learning resource for senior high school biology learning is still limited. This study aims to determine the types of plants and the symbolic meanings used in the Kuthomoro tradition in the ancient tomb of Giriloyo and Imogiri. This study also identified the potential resources of biology learning for 10th-grade senior high school. It was a qualitative research, involving 6 respondents from juru kunci (the key keeper) and abdi dalem (Kingdom’s employee) of Giriloyo and Imogiri tomb. The objects of this research are flowers and traditional dishes called ubarampe usually used for offering in Kuthomoro tradition. We used observation, in-depth interview, and documentation to collect the data, and used descriptive technique for the data analysis referring to Djohar’s criteria to study the potential biology learning sources. The results showed that there were 44 types of plants used in Giriloyo and 50 types of plants used in Imogiri for the ubarampe offering purposes. The symbolic meaning of the plants used in this tradition is a prayer and wishes that the ancestors’ sin would be forgiven and get a better condition in the afterlife. The various types of plants used in both tombs can be used as a resource for senior high school biology learning.

Abstract

This study aims to identify innovations in physical education (PE) learning carried out by teachers. This study is a systematic review on the Google Scholar database. We set inclusion criteria, namely articles published in the last 5 years, the author is a teacher, and the searching keyword for the article is ‘innovation in physical education learning’. Therefore, any article wriiten by non-PE teachers was excluded, as it can be seen from the authors’ affiliation. The results of the study refer to the analysis of 13 articles that match the criteria, indicating that teachers have made innovations in physical education learning. The innovations include learning media, models, and methods. The Innovations were carried out to improve students’ learning outcomes in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, as well as to increase the students’ learning motivation. The learning environment designed by the teacher will affect the learning process and student learning outcomes. Finally, we suggest PE teachers to continuously make innovations, not only to improve learning outcomes, but also to provide memorable learning experiences at every meeting.

Abstract

In the 21st century, scientific literacy is essential for students to face the complexity of global problems that require scientific understanding in decision-making. PISA data shows Indonesia's low scientific literacy. In 2018, it ranked 74th out of 79 countries with a score of 396 (40% of students only reached level 1), and in 2022, it dropped to 69th out of 81 countries with a score of 383 (34% of students at the elementary level). Less than 1% of Indonesian students reached levels 5-6 in both periods. Efforts to optimize scientific literacy were carried out by implementing a case-based learning (CBL) model integrated with the teaching at the right level (TaRL) approach. A quasi-experimental study was conducted at SMAN 1 Kota Jambi with the topic of the immune system using a non-randomized pretest-posttest control group design. The sample was selected using purposive sampling in grade XI, consisting of an experimental class (CBL-TaRL, n=36) and a control class (CBL, n=36). The results showed that the average score of the experimental class increased from 54.17 to 85.28, while the control class increased from 50.69 to 68.61. The one-way ANCOVA test showed a significant difference [F(1,69)=27.560, p<0.001, ηp²=0.28] with a large effect size. Students taught using CBL-TaRL had a higher increase in scientific literacy, especially in the aspects of analyzing scientific phenomena (36%) and designing scientific investigations (34%).

Abstract

This study aims to identify and explain relevant verses of the Qur'an to be integrated into mathematics learning. We used a systematic literature review method to identify and to analyze previous studies. In this study, we collected relevant articles and then the articles were analyzed using a qualitative approach based on a content analysis. We successfully selected 10 research articles on the integration of the Qur'an verses in mathematics learning. The results of the study revealed that many mathematical concepts such as numbers, sets, geometry, sequence, logic, social arithmetic, and linear equation in one variable were found to be relevant to some Qur'an verses. Integrating the Qur'an in mathematics learning can foster students’ learning motivation and characters, such as obedient, fair, honest, and religious. It confirms that connecting mathematics with Islamic context not only enriches the learning process, but also fosters positive values in students and creates a more meaningful learning experience.
