Abstract

The use of instructional media in mathematics learning is often still static, resulting in low student engagement and increased boredom during the learning process. Therefore, interactive learning media are needed to enhance students’ interest and participation. This study aims to develop a mathematics learning media based on Visual Basic for Application (VBA) in Microsoft PowerPoint on the topic of sequences and series, and to evaluate its validity and practicality. This research employed the ADDIE development model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research instruments included media validation sheets, material validation sheets, and questionnaires for teacher and student responses. The data were analyzed using the average percentage of assessment scores. The results showed that the developed learning media achieved a very high level of validity, with 92% from media experts and 91% from material experts. In addition, the practicality level was categorized as very practical, with 98% from teacher responses and 87% from student responses. Thus, the VBA-based PowerPoint learning media is considered valid and practical for use in mathematics learning, particularly on the topic of sequences and series.

Abstract

This study aims to determine whether there is a difference in students’ mathematics learning outcomes between those taught using the Jigsaw cooperative learning model and those taught using the direct learning model on the topic of flat-sided solid geometry in Grade VIII at SMPN 2 Gorontalo City. The method employed was an experimental study with a Posttest-Only Control Design. The samples were selected using the Cluster Random Sampling technique, resulting in class VIII-4 as the experimental class using the Jigsaw cooperative learning model and class VIII-3 as the control class using the direct learning model. The instrument used was a multiple-choice test on mathematics learning outcomes. The data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive analysis showed that the mean score of students in the experimental class was higher, with a value of 13.96 compared to 12.57 in the control class. Furthermore, the inferential analysis using the t-test indicated that , namely 2.0551 > 1.6736 at a significance level of . Therefore, it can be concluded that students taught using the Jigsaw cooperative learning model achieved higher mathematics learning outcomes than those taught using the direct learning model. The Jigsaw cooperative learning model encourages students to actively engage in both individual and group learning, as well as enhances responsibility and collaboration among students.

Abstract

This study develops a two-dimensional predator-prey model incorporating logistic prey growth, prey group defense, alternative food, and ecological costs to the predator. The novelty of the model lies in the introduction of an alternative food quality parameter, which distinguishes the availability of alternative food from its biological effectiveness in supporting predator growth. The analysis focuses on the existence of equilibrium points, local stability, and forward bifurcation. The analytical results show that the model admits a trivial equilibrium, a predator-free equilibrium, and an interior equilibrium under certain existence conditions. The trivial equilibrium is always unstable, whereas the predator-free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable when the quality of alternative food is below a critical value and loses its stability when the quality parameter exceeds this threshold. At the critical value, the system undergoes a forward bifurcation characterized by a stability transition from the predator-free equilibrium to a positive interior equilibrium. Numerical simulations confirm the analytical findings and illustrate three main scenarios: predator extinction when the alternative food quality is low, stable coexistence when the alternative food quality is high, and a stability transition through a bifurcation diagram as the alternative food quality parameter crosses its critical value. These results indicate that alternative food quality acts as a threshold parameter determining predator persistence and the transition from predator extinction to stable coexistence.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the mathematical critical thinking skills of male and female students in the topic of Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SLETV) and to examine whether there is a significant difference in mathematical critical thinking skills between the two groups. The study employed a descriptive method using quantitative and qualitative approaches. The participants consisted of 30 eighth-grade students at MTs Negeri 2 Bolaang Mongondow Selatan, including 15 male and 15 female students. Data were collected through a mathematical critical thinking test and interviews. Mathematical critical thinking skills were analyzed based on four indicators: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference. The findings indicate that female students achieved higher average mathematical critical thinking scores than male students across all indicators, particularly in interpretation and inference. Interview results also revealed that female students tended to be more careful in interpreting information and drawing conclusions. However, the independent samples t-test showed that the difference in mathematical critical thinking skills between the two groups was not statistically significant at the 5% significance level.

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes on Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SLETV) through the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Suwawa during the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, with 31 eighth-grade students (class VIII-B) as subjects. The research took place in a single cycle consisting of four meetings (three learning process meetings and one final test meeting). The instruments used included Lesson Plans, Student Worksheets, observation sheets for teacher and student activities, and learning achievement tests. Observation results indicated that the percentage of teacher activity in the "good" and "very good" categories increased from 63.6% in Meeting 1 to 90.9% in Meeting 3, with an overall average of 75.7%. The percentage of student activity in the "good" and "very good" categories increased from 59.1% in Meeting 1 to 90.9% in Meeting 3, with an overall average of 77.2%. Learning test results showed that among the 25 students who took the evaluation, 19 students achieved mastery (76%), thereby meeting the established classical success indicator (>= 75%). Thus, the application of the PBL model is effective in improving students' mathematics learning outcomes on SLETV.
