Abstract

Every level of education includes mathematics as one of its disciplines. However, due to ineffective teaching, children find mathematics less interesting in elementary school. Therefore, teachers must be able to choose the best teaching strategy for their students. By utilizing the classic congklak game, researchers hope to deliver learning media that teachers can use using a literature review study approach from various sources and related media. The analysis findings show that, in addition to helping children learn to count and recognize numbers, the classic congklak game also helps children develop moral principles and good behavior, such as the ability to act honorably, wisely, and obediently. The traditional congklak game can increase students' interest in learning. The traditional Congklak game is also considered one of the most effective ways of improving students' mathematical abilities. So, this game can be used as a reference for teaching mathematics methods. Thus, the traditional congklak game changes mathematics into something exciting and fun to learn.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on students' critical thinking skills and learning outcomes in elementary schools. The research employs a literature review method by analyzing findings from previous studies, including experimental and quasi-experimental designs. The RME approach, characterized by its emphasis on real-world problems and contextual learning, enables students to connect mathematical concepts with practical applications, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Various studies indicate that students using the RME approach exhibit significantly improved critical thinking skills compared to those taught using conventional methods. For example, one study showed an increase in the average critical thinking score from 63.29 to 80.29, with a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05, confirming the approach's effectiveness. Additionally, students demonstrated the ability to apply mathematical formulas in daily life and actively engage in learning activities, leading to higher academic achievement. The analysis highlights three key aspects of the RME approach: its ability to transform abstract concepts into relatable experiences, its adaptability to diverse student needs, and its effectiveness in promoting active participation. These attributes make RME a viable alternative for improving mathematics education in elementary schools. In conclusion, the RME approach provides a practical and effective solution for enhancing students' critical thinking skills and mathematical understanding, bridging the gap between theory and real-world application. This study recommends integrating the RME approach into mathematics curricula to achieve more meaningful and engaging learning experiences for elementary students.

Abstract

Adopting artificial intelligence (AI) in education for various purposes has become prominent and has raised many user concerns. The concerns, apprehension, or fear that comes with the use of AI are referred to as Artificial Intelligence Anxiety (AI anxiety). Undergraduates are the most frequent users of AI in higher education. This study assessed AI anxiety among pre-service teachers. A survey conducted online was used for data collection. A sample of 1067 pre-service teachers in mathematics, science, and technology teacher education programs were purposefully selected for the study. A questionnaire was used to collect data regarding the pre-service teachers' AI-Anxiety in six dimensions: technology intimidation, societal impact, job displacement, technological dependence, technological dread, and ethical concerns. The instrument was hosted online through Google Forms, and the data gathered was analyzed descriptively (percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferentially (ANOVA and regression analysis). This study reveals a moderate level of AI anxiety among pre-service teachers. Levels of AI anxiety vary across the six dimensions, with five found to be high while only one was found to be at moderate level. It also found significant variations in the level of AI anxiety among pre-service teachers based on their area of speciality. Also, the study identified no significant influences of demographic characteristics on the level of AI anxiety among pre-service teachers, emphasizing gender. Thus, educators and institutions should urgently embark on AI literacy to improve the ethical use of AI technologies among pre-service teachers and ameliorate AI anxiety.

Abstract

Alcoholism is characterized by persistent and uncontrollable consumption of alcoholic beverages, which poses significant risks to physical, psychological, and emotional health, including conditions such as liver cirrhosis, epilepsy, cancer, hypertension, and diabetes. Furthermore, it contributes to substantial social and economic challenges, including road accidents, domestic abuse, unemployment, and elevated crime rates. In Kenya, 12.2% of the population engages in alcohol abuse, where 10.4% are afflicted by alcohol-use disorders, thereby constituting a pressing public health concern. This study introduces a deterministic mathematical model describing alcoholism, which integrates treatment and counselling components and is articulated through the Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) framework. The model evaluates the ramifications of treatment for alcoholism, with stability analysis executed through the Jacobian matrix methodology and sensitivity analysis employing normalized forward sensitivity techniques. The reproduction number R0 was ascertained utilizing the next-generation matrix approach, wherein R0 > 0 indicates ongoing alcohol misuse within the susceptible population. Global stability analysis conducted through the Quadratic- Lyapunov method indicates that the Alcohol-Free Equilibrium (AFE) and Alcoholic Equilibrium (AE) are globally asymptotically unstable. Numerical simulations were done to forecast the impact of critical parameters, with these simulations underscoring the necessity of enhancing recruitment into the treatment compartment and minimizing relapse rates to render alcoholism manageable. Effective intervention strategies encompass public awareness initiatives, reduction of stigma, provision of incentives for treatment engagement, enhancement of treatment services, and the utilization of technological advancements for ongoing support. This research bears significant implications for the legislators and the Ministry of Health in formulating policies that establish a robust foundation for future endeavours aimed at controlling alcohol addiction.
