Abstract

Despite increasing emphasis on Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in mathematics curricula, classroom implementation remains limited and inconsistent. This qualitative study explored HOTS implementation in mathematics education, aimed to (1) identify effective instructional strategies for fostering HOTS, (2) examine teacher’ challenges, and (3) analyze classroom practices. The study involved 25 stratified junior high school mathematics teachers, with data collected over one academic year through semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Thematic analysis followed Braun and Clarke’s six-phase framework.. The study highlights that an integrated instructional framework combining inquiry-based learning, collaborative practices, progressive learning support tailored to student needs, and technology significantly enhances higher-order thinking in mathematics. It demonstrates that aligning teacher beliefs, professional development, and systemic curricular support not only validates but also strengthens effective pedagogy for meeting the contemporary demands of critical thinking and problem-solving. Implementation is hindered by misalignment between curriculum goals and classroom realities, assessment practices, and theoretical professional development. Mathematics classrooms are progressively shifting toward critical problem-solving approaches, with teachers integrating analysis, evaluation, and creative tasks. Students demonstrate greater engagement with authentic tasks that connect to real-world contexts. These findings support the redesign of professional development programs and curriculum planning to enhance HOTS implementation in mathematics education.

Abstract

Mathematics is a supporting science for other branches of science as a medium for communicating mathematical problem solving. One of the abilities that must be possessed by students is the ability to communicate in trigonometry material. In this research, only 36.7% of students correctly identified the transformation of trigonometric function graphs in question number 9. However, there were some students whose explanations were not precise because their understanding of the material was not correct.. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mathematical communication skills of grade X MA students in the material of trigonometric function graphs. In this research, a qualitative research type with a descriptive approach is used. The test of mathematical communication ability in writing is in the form of a test that is done independently and tested on 6 students with a group of 2 high ability students, 2 medium ability students, and 2 ability students with the need for further guidance. While the test of mathematical communication skills orally answered together through the interview method. The significance of this research is the students become more focused in learning because students are instructed to do activities by shifting the slider so that the intended graph is formed according to the instructions of the given problem. The conclusion drawn from the results of the research conducted is that mathematical communication in the material of trigonometric function graphs is relatively low, both in writing and orally. This is based on the percentage in the analysis test of mathematical communication skills in writing where students answered 10 out of 18 items had below 50% incorrect written response rates, compared to 8 other items that students could answer correctly with a score above 50%, while in the oral mathematical communication ability analysis test there are still misconceptions in every question asked. This is based on this research data that some students still answer the items incorrectly.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is essential for applying mathematical concepts to real-life problems, yet its development is often hindered by psychological factors such as anxiety and resilience. Mathematics anxiety negatively affects students' cognitive and problem-solving abilities, while resilience supports emotional regulation and sustained learning. This study aims the combined influence of mathematics anxiety and resilience on students’ mathematical literacy. The research method used was qualitative with a phenomenological approach. Subsequently, using Winsteps on the Wright Map table, three students were selected from a population of 128 grade XII students to become research subjects. The three subjects were selected based on the categories of mathematical anxiety and resilience. The results of the study indicate that students with high anxiety levels and low resilience have lower mathematics literacy scores. They are unable to complete all the ability indicators. Similarly, students with moderate anxiety and moderate resilience also showed low literacy scores. They were able to complete questions on the comprehension and representation indicators. Conversely, students with low anxiety and high resilience showed higher mathematical literacy scores, indicating that resilience plays a key role in overcoming anxiety and improving performance in mathematical tasks.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines the evolution of botanical literacy research over the last decade, based on 32 Scopus-indexed studies. Nine research questions (RQs) explore publication trends, geographical distribution, subject areas, funding sponsors, co-occurring keywords, influencing factors, effective strategies, and emerging themes. Data collection followed the PRISMA protocol, with bibliometric analysis and VOSviewer used to explore trends, while Scopus AI facilitated thematic and content analysis. The analysis identified a sevenfold increase in publication volume from 2017 to 2024, with notable peaks in 2022 (n=7) and 2024 (n=7). These findings reflect a growing academic recognition of the crucial role plants play in tackling global environmental challenges. The United States and the United Kingdom lead in research, while Asian countries such as Indonesia remain underrepresented (less than 5% of total publications), highlighting the need for a more inclusive, global approach. The study also reveals the interdisciplinary nature of botanical literacy, encompassing environmental sciences, agriculture, social sciences, and fields like computer science and psychology. Key factors influencing botanical literacy include lack of interest, poor educational materials, and ineffective teaching methods. Effective strategies identified include inquiry-based learning and integrating botanical education into daily life. Emerging themes emphasize “Scientific Literacy in Environmental Contexts” as a recurring focus, reinforcing the relevance of botanical literacy in environmental education.

Abstract

Banana peels are often considered waste despite being rich in bioactive compounds with potential as natural antioxidants. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of an ethanol extract combination of Cavendis banana peel (Musa acuminata) and Kepok banana peel (Musa paradisiaca) using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The extraction process was conducted using 96% ethanol maceration, yielding an extraction efficiency of 9.13%. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids/terpenoids in the extract. Antioxidant activity was assessed through the DPPH method, resulting in an IC50 value of 6.47 ppm and an AAI value of 5.40, classified as very strong antioxidants. These results are comparable to the positive control (Vitamin C), which had an IC50 value of 6.29 ppm and an AAI value of 5.56. The findings suggest that the ethanol extract combination of Cavendis and Kepok banana peels has significant potential as a natural antioxidant source applicable in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Recommendations for future research include optimization of extraction methods, isolation of key active compounds, in vivo testing, and functional product formulation development to maximize the extract's potential.

Abstract

The low mathematical problem-solving ability of elementary school students is a crucial issue in mathematics learning that has not been optimally addressed. Initial studies suggest that existing learning tools lack cultural context and integration of innovative learning models. Previous research has focused on partial or higher grade levels, leaving gaps in the development of comprehensive problem-based tools for early grade students with local contexts. This research aimed to create Problem-Based Learning (PBL) tools that incorporate ethnomathematics, with the goal of improving students' mathematical problem-solving skills effectively, practically, and authentically, by utilizing the ADDIE development framework. The research instruments used include learning tools, validation sheets, student response questionnaires, and teacher activity observation sheets. The results demonstrated the validity, practicality, and efficacy of the developed products. The mean percentage of validation for learning module, student response questionnaires, and mathematical problem-solving ability tests was 88.5%, 90%, and 85%, respectively, in the valid category. The average practicality score of the learning tools, assessed through student feedback questionnaires and learning implementation observation forms, was found to be 83.85%, which falls within the practical category. Additionally, the results from the mathematical problem-solving assessments indicated that 80% of the students achieved scores exceeding the minimum competency requirements.

Abstract

Various studies on relational thinking have been conducted, but none have explicitly examined students’ learning obstacles from the ontogenetic, epistemological, and didactical perspectives. This study aims to identify and describe students’ learning obstacles in relational thinking within arithmetic, algebra, and linear equations in one variable. This study employs a qualitative approach guided by Miles and Huberman’s framework, which involves data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing and verifying conclusions. The study used tests and interviews to gather information. Data were collected in August 2023 from 32 students of 8th grade at SMPN 17 Tangerang Selatan. Analysis revealed that students encountered ontogenetic, didactical, and epistemological obstacles when solving mathematics problems requiring relational thinking. The ontogenetic obstacle manifested as a lack of confidence in their own mathematical abilities. The didactical obstacle arose from the use of instructional materials and learning designs that did not facilitate development of relational thinking ability. The epistemological obstacle was evident in students’ failure to understand arithmetic and algebraic operation rules, inability to construct mathematical models from everyday situations, and misinterpretation of the equals sign (“=”) as an operational command rather than a symbol of equality. Teachers therefore require additional learning resources to reinforce students’ understanding of the concept of equality. Future research should focus on developing and evaluating instructional designs specifically aimed at enhancing students’ relational thinking ability.

Abstract

This study aims to develop an E-Booklet utilizing endophytic fungi isolated from the roots of Phalaenopsis amabilis to improve learning outcomes of Kingdom Fungi material for class X MA Zainul Bahar students, Bondowoso. The research method used is the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The isolation results show a diversity of endophytic fungi that are potentially authentic learning resources. This e-booklet is organized in an interactive and contextual manner, integrating isolation result data into teaching materials that are in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum. The novelty of this research lies in the utilization of endophytic fungi from the roots of P. amabilis as a source of local content that has not been widely explored in learning media. In addition, the use of the E-Booklet format based on original research data provides added value in the form of a scientific approach directly from the field, which is not yet available in conventional learning resources. This study involved 27 grade X students using the one-group pretest-posttest design method and an expert validation test. Validation by experts gave the material a score of 91% (very valid) and media 87% (very valid), while the practicality test based on student questionnaires reached 85% (practical). N-gain analysis of 0.82 (high category) shows that this E-Booklet effectively improves students' learning outcomes on the Kingdom Fungi material.

Abstract

Many science teachers have not yet used reflection as a means of learning evaluation, making it difficult for them to identify problems and find solutions. They also face challenges in determining the right medium for reflection. This study aims to explore the use of Padlet as a reflection tool for science teachers. A mixed-method approach was employed, involving three science teachers as qualitative data sources and 52 students as quantitative research subjects, divided into two classes. Data analysis was conducted using N-Vivo for qualitative data and SPSS for quantitative data, with t-tests and N-Gain tests applied to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that all three teachers agreed that using Padlet significantly improves learning quality. Quantitative data confirms the effectiveness of Padlet in enhancing reflective skills, with a t-test result of 0.000 and an N-Gain score of 75%. These figures indicate that learning with Padlet, integrated with the Group Investigation model in the experimental class, is categorized as effective. This study serves as a reference for science teachers to innovate in using technology for learning reflection, as Padlet has been proven to facilitate reflection for both teachers and students in science education.
