Abstract

The digital transformation in education has driven increased attention to the application of problem-based learning (PBL) in technology-based mechanics learning. However, thematic developments, knowledge structures, and research directions in this field have not been systematically mapped. This study aims to analyze publication trends, knowledge network structures, and the development of research topics related to PBL in digital mechanics learning using a bibliometric approach. The research data consists of 189 documents indexed in the Scopus database for the period 2015–2025. Analysis of publication trends, geographic distribution, and relationships between keywords was conducted using VOSviewer software. The analysis results show an increase in the number of publications over the past decade, with contributions concentrated in several countries. Keyword mapping shows the relationship between PBL and topics such as e-learning, game-based learning, and terms related to computing technology such as machine learning and deep learning. Furthermore, temporal visualizations indicate changes in the trend of term usage over time. However, these findings are descriptive and reflect patterns in the analyzed literature, and therefore do not directly indicate a causal relationship or the level of conceptual integration between PBL and digital technology.  This research provides a contribution in the form of bibliometric mapping which can be the basis for further research to examine the implementation and integration of PBL in digital-based mechanics learning in more depth.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the trends, contributions, opportunities, and developments in ethnoscience research on pencak silat. The method used in this study is bibliometric analysis using Biblioshiny. Data was collected through the Scopus database by searching “TITLE-ABS-KEY (Pencak Silat OR Local Wisdom AND Physics Learning OR Ethnoscience),”. The data obtained used screening from 2015 to 2025 and English, resulting in 528 documents. The results show that ethnoscience research has increased since 2015. This indicates that ethnoscience research is trending. The contributors to ethnoscience research are Kuswanto H and Suprapto N, while the contributing affiliations are Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta and Universitas Negeri Surabaya. Opportunities for conducting ethnoscience research are greater, as evidenced by network visualization and average citations. Opportunities for international publication of ethnoscience can be through conferences, namely the Journal of Physics: Conference Series have 86 documents, and journals, namely the Jurnal Pendidikan IPA Indonesia have 36 documents. The development of ethnoscience research has reached the stage of learning media and the context of physics learning. The results obtained can be concluded that ethnoscience research is still relevant to be conducted. If future researchers wish to add pencak silat to the context, this can be done as an opportunity for research innovation. The addition of pencak silat to the context needs to be combined with physics learning and learning media so that it becomes an opportunity for innovation in future research. This study hopes to contribute to providing a context for physics learning and cultural preservation through learning.

Abstract

Developing higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in mathematics education remains a challenge, particularly regarding the use of technology, which often serves merely as a medium for delivering content without innovation in task design. Unlike previous studies that focused on the use of technology or instructional models, this study positions teachers’ creativity in designing digital tasks as the primary factor influencing HOTS and student engagement. This study aims to analyze the influence of teachers’ creative models on HOTS skills and the engagement of junior high school students. The study employs a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving 120 students. Teachers’ creative models were identified through analysis of digital assigments products and classroom observations, then classified based on indicators of context, problem-solving procedures, and assignment structure in digital format into four levels: imitation, transition, modification, and construction. Data were collected through HOTS tests and student engagement questionnaires, then analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed that there were significant differences in students’ HOTS abilities and engagement based on the level of the teacher’s creative model. Students at the modification and construction levels demonstrated higher results. These findings confirm that the quality of creative digital assignment design is key to enhancing technology-based mathematics learning.

Abstract

Mathematics is a fundamental subject in the curriculum, but many students still struggle when it comes to representing, interpreting, and connecting mathematical information in solving geometry problems. Previous research has generally addressed learning obstacles from conceptual, procedural, didactic, or epistemological perspectives, but has not specifically examined how representational obstacles emerge within the semantic process as students construct mathematical meaning. This study addresses this gap. The aim of this research is to describe the representational obstacles experienced by students during the semantic process of solving geometric problems. In this study, the semantic process is defined as a series of activities to construct meaning through reading, sorting information, identifying keywords, connecting concepts, constructing arguments, verifying solution steps, and drawing conclusions in the form of visual, symbolic, and verbal representations. The study employed an exploratory qualitative approach involving 51 students grouped into high, medium, and low ability levels. The basis for identifying representational obstacles was established through an analysis of geometric problem-solving test results, written work traces, and interviews across five semantic stages: sequencing, identification, argument formulation, verification, and conclusion, taking into account inaccuracies, incompleteness, or failures in inter-representational transformation. The research results indicate that high-ability subjects tend to experience visual, symbolic, and verbal obstacles in the early stages, whereas subjects with moderate and low abilities predominantly experience verbal and symbolic obstacles. In the verification stage, all groups exhibited relatively similar symbolic and verbal obstacles, indicating a common difficulty in formalizing and testing the validity of solutions. Theoretically, this study reinforces the understanding that representational obstacles are not only related to conceptual mastery but also to failures in the meaning-making process during the semantic stage. Practically, these findings provide a foundation for developing more targeted geometry learning strategies to strengthen inter-representational translation, mathematical argumentation, and solution validation.

Abstract

The Special Purpose Forest Area for Education and Training of Lambung Mangkurat University (KHDTK ULM) is a forest area managed by ULM. As an education and training forest, data and information should be obtained in accordance with scientific principles so that they are categorized as valid and accurate. Kayu kacang is a woody plant abundant in this area. The botanical name that is currently consistently used is Strombosia javanica (Olacaceae), even though this name is suspected to be inaccurate. To prove this inaccuracy, this research was conducted in two stages. The first stage was to compare the morphology (physical characteristics) of the leaves, flowers, and fruits of real kayu kacang in the field with that of the kayu kacang botanically named S. javanica. The morphology of the main organs of the latter kayu kacang was obtained from reference searches. If the results were the same, the name could be retained. If not, the name should be changed. The second stage is to obtain an accurate name by comparing the morphological description with a valid identification key. The comparison confirmed that the morphology of the main organs of the real kayu kacang and the reference source was very different. The correct name for the kayu kacang is Radermachera quadripinnata (Bignoniaceae). This botanical name is recommended instead of S. javanica.

Abstract

The ability to think critically is a vital skill in mathematics education. However, abstract and insufficiently contextualized instruction, especially in circular solid such as cylinders, hinders its optimal development. Integrating local cultural contexts through an ethnomathematics approach into game-based learning media offers a potential solution. This research intends to generate a learning game integrated within Roblox, namely Geoarcala, that integrates the ethnomathematics of temples in Magelang, and to evaluate its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in enhancing students’ critical thinking ability. A Research and Development (R&D) design incorporating the ADDIE framework was utilized. The participants included 23 ninth-grade students from class IX A at SMP Negeri 1 Salaman. Data collection methods comprised interviews, questionnaires, and tests. The validation results indicated that the media was valid (85.16% by content experts and 80.42% by media experts). The practicality test showed very practical results based on student (83.85%) and teacher (85%) responses. A paired-samples t-test revealed significant media effectiveness (t=10.68 and df = 22, p = 0.001, Cohen's d = 2.227). The average N-Gain score of 0.30 shows a moderate degree of improvement. These result indicate that the Geoarcala game is valid, highly practical, and shows moderate potential for enhancing students’ critical thinking ability.

Abstract

This study aims to describe in depth the students’ numeracy literacy abilities with severe mathematical anxiety from a masculine and feminine gender perspective. Severe mathematical anxiety can affect how students think, understand problems, and make decisions in solving mathematical problems. In addition, factors that influence mathematical performance are cognitive and affective patterns. Both of which are more related to gender-role than biological aspects (sex). This study considers gender perspectives, especially masculine and feminine, and it is expected to provide a more comprehensive picture of the diversity of students' numeracy literacy abilities. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study type. The research subjects were selected through purposive sampling, utilizing a case study approach involving two individuals with severe levels of mathematics anxiety, specifically representing masculine (BM) and feminine (BF) gender characteristics. The data collection was carried out through questionnaires, numeracy literacy tests, and in-depth interviews. These data were analyzed using data condensation techniques, data display, and conclusion drawing. The case study results indicate that subjects BM and BF are capable of identifying essential information and understanding the problem context. However, there were differences in the stages of problem solving. BM tends to be able to evaluate the reasonableness of calculation results, while BF is better able to convey logical conclusions and relate the results to the problem context. This finding shows the importance of implementing learning strategies that accommodate differences in student characteristics to improve numeracy literacy skills in the aspect of using mathematical concepts, facts, and procedures.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the OIDDE (Orientation, Identify, Discussion, Decision, and Engage in Behavior) learning model on virus material on students' problem-solving and ethical decision-making abilities in class X at SMAN 2 Sampit. The background of this study is based on the dominance of teacher-centered learning, which has not optimally developed students' higher-order thinking skills and ethical awareness. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 70 students, divided into an experimental class and a control class. Data were collected through problem-solving tests and ethical decision-making questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that the experimental class achieved a higher mean posttest score in problem-solving ability (M = 87.00) compared to the control class (M = 73.86), with a significant difference (p < 0.05). The N-Gain score in the experimental class was 64.66% (moderate category), and the effect size was very large (Cohen’s d = 2.916). In terms of ethical decision-making, the experimental class also showed higher posttest scores (M = 90.49) than the control class (M = 85.66), with a significant difference (p = 0.012 < 0.05) and a very large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.139). These findings suggest that the OIDDE learning model has a positive effect on improving students’ problem-solving and ethical decision-making abilities. However, further studies with larger samples are recommended to strengthen the generalizability of the results.

Abstract

WordPress commands 43.2% of global websites and has become a primary target for keylogger attacks, with vulnerability trends showing exponential growth from 1,543 in 2014 to 8,907 in 2025 according to WPScan Vulnerability Database. This research employs the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-86 method integrated with MITRE ATT&CK framework to analyze WordPress websites suspected of keylogger infection. A comparative approach is implemented by comparing WordPress against the DIABEX website (an AI-based diabetes diagnosis system) as baseline control. The research utilizes qualitative descriptive methodology through four NIST phases: Collection, Examination, Analysis, and Reporting, with historical activity log extraction from a 30-day period using Python-based forensic tools. Results identified a database-injected fileless keylogger on WordPress through wp_options table manipulation, with MITRE ATT&CK mapping across Initial Access (TA0001), Persistence (TA0003), Collection (T1056.001), and Exfiltration (TA0010) stages. Comparative security assessment revealed a 53-point gap between WordPress (29/100 - CRITICAL) and DIABEX (82/100 - GOOD), demonstrating that 97% of WordPress vulnerabilities originate from third-party plugins, requiring comprehensive database integrity monitoring and security audits.

Abstract

This study aims to measure the practicality of science process skills-based electronic student worksheet in the Biology and Environmental Concepts course of a Primary School Teacher Education Program at the University of Jambi. In this study, practicality refers to students' perceptions of ease of use, clarity of language, attractiveness of appearance, practicality in learning, practicality of science process skills-based activities, and efficiency of use. This study uses a quantitative descriptive approach involving 27 primary school education students as respondents. The research instrument is a questionnaire on the practicality of the electronic student worksheet consisting of 12 statements and analyzed using the Rasch Model with the help of Winsteps software. The Rating Scale Model was used because all items employed the same five-point response categories. The analysis was carried out to obtain the person and item reliability values, separation index, item suitability to the model, and mapping of respondent abilities and item difficulty levels. The results of the analysis show that the person reliability value is 0.82 (real) and 0.85 (model), with a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.93 which indicates the consistency of student responses in the very high category. The low item separation indicated limited spread of item difficulty and was interpreted as preliminary evidence of positive but homogeneous practicality perceptions rather than as definitive proof of broad usability. The person separation value of 2.14 (real) and 2.35 (model) indicates that the instrument is able to group respondents into three levels of practicality perception. All statement items were found to fit the Rasch Model with Infit and Outfit Mean Square (MNSQ) values ranging from 0.5 to 1.5. Wright mapping showed that the item difficulty level ranged from -0.62 to 1.10 logit and was below the average respondent's ability (mean person measure = 2.62 logit), indicating that the electronic student worksheet was generally easy to use and understand by students. Thus, the findings provide preliminary, context-bound evidence that the science process skills-based electronic student worksheet is practical for the sampled cohort and can be refined before wider implementation.
