Abstract

The creative thinking process results from the interaction between divergent and convergent thinking, which complement each other and are influenced by brain hemisphere dominance in processing information. The emphasis on originality and elaboration in this process demonstrates that each individual possesses unique problem-solving tendencies, making them worthy of focus in educational research. This study aims to describe the processes of divergent and convergent thinking in mathematical creative thinking, with a focus on originality and elaboration based on brain dominance. The research method employed was qualitative, with a descriptive and exploratory approach. The sample consisted of 3 students, selected for in-depth analysis from a total of 31 students. The instruments used were mathematical creative thinking, brain dominance tests, and unstructured interviews. Data were analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The study's results showed that students with left-brain dominance relied more on convergent thinking processes when solving problems. Conversely, students with right-brain dominance tend to prioritize divergent thinking. Students with balanced brain dominance showed a relatively balanced ability in using both thinking patterns. These findings provide educators with an overview of how to design questions that encourage thinking processes involving both divergent and convergent thinking, tailored to students’ brain dominance, to optimize learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research aims to analyse and describe the management of the Islamic Education curriculum at Al-Multazam 2 Integrated Islamic Junior High School Kuningan, particularly concerning the integration of learning technology in the digital era. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, focusing on the processes of planning, organising, implementing (or actuating), and supervising (or controlling) the digital-based curriculum. Data were collected through interviews with teachers, the vice principal for curriculum, the vice principal for student affairs, and grade 7 students, with a sample of four classes observed. Furthermore, the researcher also conducted in-depth observation and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted in four stages, as outlined by Miles and Huberman. The results indicate that the curriculum management at Al-Multazam 2 Integrated Islamic Junior High School has systematically implemented the POAC (Planning, Organising, Actuating, Controlling) framework to balance the demands of digitalisation and the strengthening of Islamic values. Planning is carried out collaboratively to design digital lesson plans (RPP) and integrate Islamic values into the content. Implementation is conducted through a blended learning model using platforms such as Google Classroom, as well as interactive media (Canva, Quizizz). The School IT Team and the Teacher Professional Development Committee support the organisation. Meanwhile, Controlling (Supervision) is carried out through academic supervision and comprehensive evaluation (cognitive, affective, and spiritual/Tahfizh). Despite facing challenges in teacher competency and digital ethics risks among students, the school successfully implemented strategies for continuous human resource strengthening and content monitoring. The application of this POAC management strategy has a positive impact on improving learning quality, accessibility, and the development of students' digital literacy. This proves that Islamic educational institutions can adapt to global changes while maintaining and strengthening their Islamic value identity.

Abstract

TikTok has become a popular platform among teenagers as a means of entertainment, self-expression, and social communication. Through its creative features, students can showcase their talents and gain recognition from their peers. However, behind this popularity, the question arises as to whether the use of TikTok can actually boost students’ self-confidence. This study aims to determine the relationship between the use of TikTok social media and the self-confidence of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 7 Palu. A total of 100 students were selected using random sampling techniques. Data were collected using a Likert scale-based questionnaire and analyzed both descriptively and inferentially, employing the Pearson Product Moment correlation test in SPSS version 25. The results show that TikTok usage is relatively high at 93%, while student self-confidence is also in the high category at 68%. The correlation test shows a value of r = 0.082 with sig. = 0.418 (p > 0.05), meaning that there is no significant relationship between TikTok usage and student self-confidence. These findings suggest that student self-confidence is more influenced by factors such as family support, social environment, and personal experience, rather than the intensity of TikTok use. These findings suggest that student self-confidence is more influenced by factors such as family support, social environment, and personal experience, rather than the intensity of TikTok use.

Abstract

The cancellation of music concerts raises important questions about the legal responsibility of promoters toward audiences as consumers. This study examines how promoters fulfill their obligations when a concert is canceled and how audiences experience additional losses beyond the ticket price, such as transportation and accommodation costs. Using a normative juridical method supported by empirical data from interviews with three affected audiences, this study analyzes the cancellation of Dua Lipa’s concert in Indonesia to assess the alignment between legal norms and actual practice. The findings indicate that audiences continue to incur uncompensated losses, despite receiving refunds, as existing regulations do not cover indirect damages. The novelty of this research lies in its focus on unilateral cancellations caused by the promoter’s failure to meet technical standards, rather than force majeure or ticketing fraud—an area that has been rarely addressed in prior studies. This research contributes to the development of Indonesian entertainment law by highlighting the need for a specific regulatory framework under the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy to govern technical standards, refund mechanisms, and promoter liability, thereby strengthening legal certainty and consumer protection.

Abstract

The Kasepuhan Cirebon Palace is one of the historical sites that still stand in Cirebon City and reflect the local community's cultural heritage, including ethnomathematical practices embedded in daily life. This study aims to analyse the ethnomathematical aspects of the Kasepuhan Palace as a source of contextual mathematics learning. This qualitative research employed an ethnographic approach and was conducted in the Pekalipan area of Cirebon City. The data were collected from a building complex (Keraton Kasepuhan), and one informant was selected based on their role as cultural custodians (Abdi Dalem). Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings suggest that the architectural structure, floor patterns, and carved ornaments of the Kasepuhan Palace incorporate various mathematical concepts, including geometry, angles, symmetry, and measurement. These concepts appear in the spatial layout, pillar arrangement, and shapes such as rectangles, triangles, cuboids, limas, and tubes. The study suggests that incorporating the ethnomathematical elements of the Kasepuhan Palace into mathematics learning can enhance students’ understanding of geometric concepts while fostering their appreciation for local cultural wisdom. However, this study is limited to one palace complex and a small number of informants; future research could expand to other historical sites or compare multiple palaces to enrich the ethnomathematical analysis.

Abstract

This study explores university students’ ways of thinking about the limit concept in differential calculus and uncovers how they construct the meaning of the limit definition through their reasoning. Data were collected from 28 students in mathematics education at a university in West Java, Indonesia, through written tasks and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis identified dominant reasoning patterns, revealing that 71% of students exhibited procedural reasoning, 18% demonstrated conceptual reasoning, and 11% displayed formal reasoning. Based on a systematic data reduction process, these patterns were categorized into procedural, conceptual, and formal ways of thinking, and six representative participants were purposively selected for in-depth analysis. The findings show that students predominantly exhibited procedural reasoning, relying heavily on algorithmic manipulation and symbolic recall rather than conceptual understanding or formal justification. This pattern indicates that many students have not yet internalized the formal meaning of the limit definition, resulting in mechanical rather than reflective reasoning. These findings highlight the need for instructional designs that promote conceptual reflection and formal reasoning in calculus learning, enabling students to move beyond procedural competence toward a more integrated understanding of the limit concept.

Abstract

This study examines the creative thinking of Grade 12 students in solving open-ended statistical problems. The research addresses the problem of limited understanding of how students with different mathematical ability levels demonstrate creative thinking when working with open-ended statistical tasks, and aims to describe the fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration reflected in their solutions. Three students representing high, medium, and low achievement levels were selected through purposive sampling to capture varied mathematical abilities. Data were collected through written tests and interviews, and analyzed using indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. An exploratory, qualitative approach was employed to gain in-depth insights into students’ reasoning processes. Results show that the high-achieving student generated two valid datasets (mean = 25, median = 23, mode = 20), the medium-achieving student produced one nearly accurate dataset (mean = 24.9), and the low-achieving student produced a dataset with a mean of 23.5. For the second problem, all students obtained b = 12, but only the high-achieving student justified why it is the minimum. In the third problem, all calculated the average yield as 1.225 tons, yet only the high-achieving student provided a contextual interpretation. These findings indicate that open-ended tasks reveal clear differences in students’ creative thinking. The results suggest that incorporating open-ended problems into statistics lessons can enhance students’ creative mathematical reasoning and support the development of higher-order thinking.

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.
