Abstract

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has played a vital role in Cambodia’s economic, political, and social cooperation with its ASEAN member states. Cambodian Generation Z is a dynamic group building a future for Cambodia. This article assesses the level of knowledge about ASEAN integration among Generation Z in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, using a mixed-methods approach with a survey of 414 respondents and 8 key informant interviews. The findings reveal that while Generation Z in Phnom Penh demonstrates some awareness of ASEAN, their overall knowledge remains limited, with notable strengths in cultural awareness and digital engagement but significant gaps in political and economic understanding. Future research should explore factors contributing to knowledge gaps and the impact of digital platforms on awareness. It should also conduct comparative studies across ASEAN countries to understand generational knowledge disparities better.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in enhancing university students’ ability to solve environmental pollution problems, with mathematical literacy as a moderating variable. Conducted in Indonesia, the research adopted a quasi-experimental non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design involving 64 biology education students from Universitas Pakuan. Participants were assessed using open-ended problem-solving tests and a rubric aligned with the PISA framework. Results from two-way ANOVA showed significant effects of the learning model (F(1, 58) = 32.84, p < .001, η² = .216) and mathematical literacy levels (F(2, 58) = 29.17, p < .001, η² = .201) on problem-solving performance. Although both groups improved by 18.75 points from the pretest to the post-test, the PBL group outperformed the control. Post hoc analysis (Tukey HSD) revealed that students with high mathematical literacy achieved the highest scores (M = 91.8, SD = 3.7), confirming its moderating effect. These findings underscore the value of integrating mathematical literacy into PBL to promote contextual learning and real-world problem-solving. Future studies should explore broader samples and longitudinal impacts across diverse educational contexts.

Abstract

In primary school mathematics, inadequate teaching methods remain a persistent challenge that negatively impacts students’ learning outcomes. This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the role-playing method in improving fourth-grade students' understanding of decimal numbers at SDN Empang 2. The study involved two groups: an experimental group taught using role-play and a control group taught through conventional instruction. Fifty-three students participated, with 26 in the experimental and 27 in the control group. Data were collected using post-test scores and analyzed using an independent t-test. The results showed a statistically significant difference in learning outcomes, with the experimental group achieving a higher mean score (M = 69.69) than the control group (M = 63.85) and a p-value of 0.009 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that role-playing significantly enhances students’ conceptual understanding and performance in mathematics. The study contributes to the growing research on interactive teaching methods and suggests that role-playing can be an effective pedagogical tool in primary mathematics instruction.

Abstract

This quantitative experimental study aims to examine the effect of mathematical representation ability and mathematical spatial ability on students’ mathematics learning outcomes, with gender as a moderating factor. The population consisted of 74 third-semester Mathematics Education students at UIN Syekh Nurjati Cirebon during the 2024/2025 academic year. A sample of 30 students was selected using purposive sampling. Validated test instruments were used to measure mathematical representation ability, spatial ability, and learning outcomes. Data were analyzed using simple and multiple linear regression. The results show that for female students, both abilities significantly and positively influenced learning outcomes (p < 0.05). For male students, only mathematical spatial ability showed a significant effect (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that female students may be better at integrating representational and spatial skills in mathematical learning than their male counterparts

Abstract

This study analyses how the STEAM+X framework has been implemented in mathematics education. The “X” component represents additional disciplines beyond the traditional STEAM fields, such as culture, history, and architecture. The systematic literature review (SLR) follows the PRISMA protocol. The initial search returned 350,190 documents, but only one article met the rigorous inclusion criteria focused explicitly on STEAM+X in mathematics education. This finding underscores the topic’s novelty and the need for further research. The selected study highlights the integration of geometry, digital and physical technologies (e.g., GeoGebra, AR/VR, 3D printing), and educational levels, including high school and teacher education. The analysis reveals limited implementation across countries and a lack of diversity in content areas. These results call for expanded investigations into STEAM+X practices incorporating broader mathematical domains, varied cultural contexts, and more inclusive educational levels.

Abstract

This scholarly investigation examines the relationship between self-directed learning and proficiency in mathematical literacy among students. The methodology employed in this study is quantitative, utilizing a correlational approach. The sampling technique adopted was convenience sampling, encompassing 143 high school students from Jakarta. The instruments employed for data collection comprised a self-directed learning questionnaire alongside a mathematical literacy assessment. The questionnaire was meticulously crafted to evaluate the degree to which students exhibit initiative, responsibility, and self-directed learning capabilities. Conversely, the mathematical literacy assessment was designed to gauge students' proficiency in comprehending, interpreting, and resolving contextualized mathematical challenges. The data analysis incorporated a correlation test to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results revealed a statistically significant correlation between self-directed learning and students' mathematical literacy competencies, with a significance value of 0.035 below the threshold of α = 0.05, alongside a Pearson correlation coefficient of r = 0.176. Consequently, it can be inferred that an increase often follows an increase in the level of students self-directed learning in mathematical literacy. However, because the correlation value is very low, the effect of self-directed learning on mathematical literacy is considered small, suggesting that other factors may also play a role in influencing students' mathematical literacy skills.

Abstract

Few studies have combined Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) to enhance elementary students' understanding of geometric concepts. Conventional teacher-centered instruction often limits students' active engagement, particularly in abstract mathematics topics such as the perimeter of plane figures. This study aimed to investigate the impact of integrating miniature journey media with Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Teaching at The Right Level (TaRL) on mathematics learning outcomes. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test/post-test design was used, involving 22 fifth-grade students at SDN Layungsari 2 in Indonesia. Students completed a pre-test, received instruction using the intervention, and then completed a post-test. The assessment instrument included two descriptive items adjusted to students' ability levels. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired samples t-test. Normality was confirmed via the Shapiro–Wilk test. The results indicated a statistically significant improvement in scores from the pre-test (M = 41.64, SD = 12.4) to the post-test (M = 64.59, SD = 14.2), t(21) = 3.94, p = .001, with a moderate effect size (d = 0.70). These findings suggest that combining miniature journey media with PBL and TaRL can support students' learning of perimeter concepts. Further research with control groups and larger samples is recommended to validate and extend these findings.
