Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving abilities in trigonometry material remain a challenge for many students, partly because they lack self-directed learning skills to manage the learning process. This research aims to analyze the relationship between self-directed learning and students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in trigonometry material. The research approach is quantitative, using a correlational method. The research sample consists of 62 vocational high school students in Karawang Regency, selected through random sampling. The research instruments include a self-directed learning questionnaire and an essay test of problem-solving abilities. The questionnaire measures initiative, responsibility, self-regulation, and students' evaluative abilities in the learning process, while the problem-solving ability test assesses students' abilities to understand, plan, execute, and evaluate trigonometry problem solutions. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson correlation test. The research results show a strong, significant positive relationship between self-directed learning and mathematical problem-solving abilities, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.679 and a significance value of < 0.001. These findings indicate that increased self-directed learning tends to be followed by greater ability to solve mathematical problems.

Abstract

This study investigates the dynamics of public participation in the 2024 Regional Head and Deputy Regional Head Elections (Pilkada) of Kutai Kartanegara Regency, addressing the core problem of fluctuating voter engagement and the factors that shape citizens' willingness to participate in both the main election and the mandated revote (PSU). The objective of this research is to analyze the level of public participation and identify the supporting and inhibiting factors influencing voter behavior, particularly in relation to the implementation of KPU Regulation No. 9 of 2022 and the use of local wisdom-based outreach strategies. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The results show that the principles outlined in PKPU No. 9 of 2022, especially those pertaining to public engagement, have been effectively implemented through collaborative, adaptive, and culturally grounded socialization efforts that improve political understanding. Supporting factors of participation include political awareness, civic responsibility, emotional proximity to candidates, and pragmatic motivations such as money politics. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include political apathy, distrust in the political system, limited knowledge of candidates, limited time for socialization, geographical barriers, natural disasters, and limited understanding of the PSU mechanism. Overall, public participation in both the Pilkada and the PSU in Kutai Kartanegara reflects a dynamic interaction between enthusiasm and structural and cultural constraints, forming a complex landscape of idealistic and pragmatic voter motivations.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of implementing a game method in learning integers. This study employs a quasi-experimental design with a posttest-only control group. The sampling technique was random, and the class equivalence test employed a one-way ANOVA. Sampling used a cluster random sampling technique. The data collection technique employed a test method consisting of essay questions in the high-level thinking category. These questions were found to be valid, with a reliability coefficient of 0.75, which falls in the high category. The data analysis employed an independent t-test at a significance level of 0.05, preceded by a prerequisite test of data normality and homogeneity of variance. The results of the study showed that the application of the interactive game method can improve learning outcomes in integer arithmetic operations, which is also indicated by: (1) students are enthusiastic and involved in following the lesson. (2) active student participation increases, (3) learning is more meaningful, and (4) building very positive team collaboration.

Abstract

This quantitative study aimed to examine the simultaneous and partial effects of self-efficacy and gender on mathematics learning outcomes related to circle equations among high school students. Employing a multiple regression design, the research involved 139 twelfth-grade students from SMA Negeri 7 Tambun Selatan, selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected through a self-efficacy questionnaire analyzed using the Successive Interval Method and an essay-based test for learning outcomes. Multiple regression analysis, after fulfilling classical assumptions, revealed that self-efficacy and gender significantly influenced learning outcomes simultaneously (F = 1025, p < 0.00). Partially, self-efficacy emerged as a significant predictor, with a positive coefficient (β = 0.585, t = 5.969, p < 0.001), indicating that higher self-efficacy is associated with improved cognitive achievement. Conversely, gender showed no significant partial effect (p > 0.05). Additional correlation analysis indicated a stronger relationship between self-efficacy and learning outcomes in male students (  = 0.545) compared to female students (  = 0.348). Nonetheless, self-efficacy remained the primary explanatory factor for cognitive achievement in both groups. These findings underscore the dominant role of self-efficacy as the key determinant of success in learning circle equations, surpassing the influence of gender.

Abstract

Learning difficulties in understanding and achieving success in mathematics were identified among students, including dyscalculia, a condition characterized by an inability to perform arithmetic due to disturbances in the central nervous system. This learning disorder results in a less optimal process of constructing knowledge. This study aims to analyze the process skills of students with dyscalculia in constructing ethnomathematics-based knowledge. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method, in which data were collected from ethnomathematics-based test items and interviews. The study was conducted at a Special School (SLB) in Jambi City with 2 students with dyscalculia. The findings show that dyscalculic students' process skills have not been fully optimal across most skill indicators. The use of ethnomathematics-based test items only assisted students with counting activities. Both students demonstrated assimilation in the observing and counting stages, but failed to determine relationships between the problem and prior information. In the stages of classifying, collecting, and analyzing data, predicting, measuring, and interpreting data, most activities were carried out through accommodation. Additionally, both students were unable to conduct experiments and communicate their results independently. Overall, students with dyscalculia relied more on accommodation in their thinking.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the victimological impact of the wrongful arrest case involving Pegi Setiawan in the murder of Vina and Eky, as well as its influence on investigative practices and the use of evidence in the criminal justice system in Indonesia. The case drew national attention because it revealed structural weaknesses in law enforcement processes, particularly concerning the haste in naming suspects, the lack of evidence verification, and the suboptimal protection of suspects' rights. This study aims to analyze the forms of victimization experienced by the wrongfully arrested victim, evaluate the factors causing procedural errors in investigations, and identify the implications for the legitimacy of the criminal justice system. Using a juridical-normative approach and case study analysis, this study found that Pegi suffered psychological, social, and economic losses, as well as prolonged stigma due to the mistakes of law enforcement officials. Furthermore, this case demonstrates a discrepancy between the ideal standards of investigation and field practice, including officers' weak objectivity, professionalism, and accountability in assessing evidence. This study concludes that the Pegi Setiawan case reflects the need for deep reforms through strengthening oversight mechanisms, enhancing investigator capacity, and reinforcing.

Abstract

This study examines ethnomathematics in the architecture of the Kepahiang Traditional House or Bubungan Lima. Using an ethnographic qualitative approach, this study focuses on identifying mathematical concepts in the physical form, structure, and philosophy of buildings. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with cultural experts, and documentation. The results of the study show that this traditional house is rich in geometric applications, including flat (rectangles, triangles), spatial (limas, cylinders), geometric transformations (reflection, translation, rotation), and lines (parallel, perpendicular) in ornaments and structures. In addition, there was also a traditional body-based measurement system and construction techniques without iron nails that reflected the implicit mathematical understanding of the Rejang people of proportion, precision, and structural strength. All of these findings confirm that ethnomathematics in the Kepahiang Traditional House is a manifestation of local wisdom rich in mathematical meaning. This is highly relevant as a context-based, culture-based learning resource to bridge abstract mathematical concepts while fostering students' appreciation of their local cultural identity.

Abstract

This study aims to develop transparent concrete learning media for spatial geometry and evaluate its feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness in supporting students’ understanding of surface area concepts. This development applies the 4D model (Definition, Design, Development, and Dissemination) and involves one media expert, one subject matter expert, and 30 ninth-grade students during the limited dissemination phase. The uniqueness of this study lies in the use of a transparent acrylic model that allows students to clearly observe the relationships among planes, edges, and angles, providing a concrete, visually accessible representation of geometric structures. The research procedure included a student needs analysis, prototype design and production, product validation through expert review, and limited classroom deployment supported by pre- and post-test assessments. Media experts rated the product at 80% (acceptable), while subject matter experts rated it at 87.5% (highly acceptable). Students’ conceptual understanding improved significantly, with the average pre-test score of 81.43 increasing to 100 on the post-test, resulting in an N-Gain of 1.00 (very high). The student response rate reached 66.9% (very practical). These findings indicate that transparent concrete geometric media are feasible, practical, and effective, offering pedagogical advantages for enhancing students’ conceptual understanding through realistic, transparent geometric representations.

Abstract

The formatur election at PC IPM Cepu is an important practice of internal democracy within the Muhammadiyah student organization; however, the manual voting process has frequently led to invalid ballots, lengthy vote recaps, and potential recording errors. This study aims to develop a web-based e-voting system that enforces election rules and improves efficiency and data integrity. In this election, voters are required to select exactly nine candidates, which serves as the core validation constraint of the proposed system. The research employs a Research and Development (R&D) method with a prototyping approach, encompassing needs analysis, system design, implementation using the Flask framework with an SQLite database, and system testing. Automatic selection-count validation is implemented on both the client and server sides, along with a double-vote prevention mechanism to ensure voting integrity. System evaluation involved 30 active PC IPM Cepu participants through functional testing, time-efficiency comparison, and a user-satisfaction survey. The results indicate that the system successfully eliminated invalid ballots, achieving 0% input errors, defined as the absence of votes with an incorrect number of selected candidates across all test cases. In addition, the voting and recapitulation process was accelerated by up to 80% compared with the manual method. User satisfaction was measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire, yielding an overall satisfaction rate of 95% (positive responses), derived from aggregated Likert scores. Despite these promising results, this study is limited by its relatively small sample size and its application within a single student organization. Overall, the findings demonstrate that a simple rule-based e-voting system can serve as an effective digitalization model for internal democratic processes in student organizations, enhancing participation and organizational governance efficiency through technology.
