Abstract

Mathematics is a science that has an important role in dealing with various problems in everyday life. It includes spatial abilities because it involves the ability of students to manipulate objects related to space. However, students' spatial abilities in geometry material are still relatively weak. This study aims to analyze and describe the construction of students' spatial knowledge based on ethnomathematics. This research is qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques in this study include information absorption sheets (reading), tests, and interviews. Data were analyzed using data reduction techniques, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that S1 could meet the five indicators of spatial ability, where S1 organized his knowledge based on assimilation and accommodation. Furthermore, S2 can meet five indicators of spatial ability and organize his knowledge by assimilation. While S3 only fulfills three indicators of spatial ability, this is due to a lack of accuracy and haste in answering questions. This study's findings show that learning associated with culture can improve students' mathematical abilities in spatial terms.

Abstract

Effective classroom management is crucial in technical education, particularly in disciplines like Architectural Drafting Technology (ADT), where discipline and practicality play significant roles in student learning. This study assessed specific classroom management practices relative to student performance and participation in the 2024-2025 Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology program, majoring in ADT. A survey design was selected, and purposive sampling was chosen to choose respondents from varied year levels. The quantitative analysis consisted of descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients via Pearson, and linear regression to determine relationships between the management practices illustrated under the study and the academic variables. The study clarified how active supervision, policies, technology, and positive reinforcement positively affect students’ performance, attendance, and behavior. More explicitly, engaging and systematic tasks of limited conceptual density are conducive to learning gains, while interchange and the reduction of off-task behavior are promoted by employing technological supports. These findings indicate that adequate classroom management, proactively organized and preventive-descriptive, should be considered and applied correctly in technical education contexts. Teachers are encouraged to prepare to integrate these strategies in their classrooms effectively; the study suggests further research to establish its long-term result on skills acquisition and achievements.

Abstract

This study examines the multifaceted dynamics influencing the performance of the Nepalese stock market employing time-series ARDL analysis techniques. The study investigates the influence of macroeconomic indicators (gross domestic product, gross domestic savings, interest rates), firm-specific factors (total assets, return on equity), market size (number of listed companies), and event factors (political instability, policy changes) on stock market performance, measured by the stock market index. The ARDL bounds test (F-statistic = 8.378, df = 6, I(0) = 2.88, I(1) = 2.88, α = 1%) indicates the presence of long-run interrelationships among the variables of interest. Additionally, the significant negative coefficient of the error correction term (etc. (-1) = -0.527, p < 0.01) suggests a long-run convergence towards equilibrium. In the short run, political instability exhibits an adverse effect on stock market activities (β = -0.347, p < 0.01), while favorable policy changes demonstrate a positive impact (β = 0.369, p < 0.01). The study emphasizes that authorities and market actors must address the complex linkages of these dynamics impacting Nepal's stock market functioning. It improves the literature on emerging equity markets and informs government and investment decisions in Nepal's fast-changing financial landscape by highlighting stock market performance's many factors.

Abstract

The study investigated the availability and use of mathematics learning resources at the basic school levels. Ascertaining the availability, use, and mathematics learning resources were the epicenters of this study. The methodology employed was the descriptive survey research design. Through the census technique, 102 junior high school mathematics facilitators participated in the study. The data collection instrument was the questionnaire. Experts and two lecturers validated the instruments using appropriate design, sampling techniques, and data collection tools. The repetitions of the same participants for four different research questions also yielded a 0.80 reliability coefficient. The researchers used frequency and percentage to analyze the data. The results showed that attribute blocks, base ten blocks, and geoboards were the worst unavailable resources. Also, even though facilitators were involved in improvising a few resources, most were not improvised. Lastly, the major challenges were curriculum content, textbooks, and school funds, making many mathematics learning resources nonimprovisable. It was therefore recommended that practical courses in mathematics learning resources construction and usage be incorporated into teacher training and regular professional training and retraining programs.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved into an indispensable tool in education. AI usage in education permeates tutoring systems, automated essay scoring, plagiarism detection, virtual reality simulations, and chatbot-based learning support. This ubiquity has threatened the tenets of academic integrity upon which the entire education system hinges. This present conceptualization focuses on demystifying the concepts and conversations at the nexus of AI adoption and academic integrity. The conceptualization deeply explored the development of AI and the motivation for its deployment in education. A broad overview of academic integrity highlights the core values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. This was followed by a detailed exploration of the techniques used by students to avoid detection of AI-generated work. A focal discussion was then provided on the impact of AI-generated writing tasks on students’ academic integrity, highlighting both opportunities and challenges. Next, the technical, procedural, educational, and collaborative strategies for detecting and minimizing the rate of AI-generated work among students were discussed. The Technology Acceptance Model and Academic Integrity Framework were discussed as conceptualizations' theoretical foundations. The conceptualization closes with a summary of recent empirical research emphasizing the need for further studies to explore all ramifications of the influence of AI on academic integrity. It is hoped that the conceptual clarity provided in this work will support the emerging scholarship on AI's influence on society.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and assess the quality of an Augmented Reality-Integrated Student Worksheet (LKPD) to enhance seventh-grade students' mathematics learning outcomes in spatial geometry. The research follows the Plomp development model, consisting of four phases: preliminary investigation, design, realization, and test-evaluation-revision. The LKPD was validated by three experts, including two mathematics education specialists and one instructional design expert. Practicality tests were conducted with one mathematics teacher and 31 students from SMP Negeri 16 Cirebon. The validation results indicate that the LKPD is highly valid, with a content validity score of 87.56% and a design validity score of 87.22%. Practicality tests showed positive responses from teachers (80%) and students (72.30% in small groups and 77.64% in field trials). Based on pre-test and post-test results, effectiveness testing yielded an N-Gain score of 0.58, categorized as moderate effectiveness. These findings suggest that the Augmented Reality-Integrated LKPD is a feasible and effective learning tool for mathematics education. However, limitations include compatibility issues with Android versions above 10 and dependency on coloured markers for AR recognition. Future research should focus on improving AR functionality for broader accessibility.

Abstract

ASEAN’s flow of professionals has been carried out since 2015; understanding the outcomes regarding the participation of Cambodia has been observed. Thus, this study used a qualitative approach with experts in international relations, the labour market, and economics. The participants were selected through purposeful and snowballing techniques; in-depth semi-structured interviews were employed, each taking 30-45 minutes. The researchers recorded, coded, and analyzed all interview responses via thematic analysis. The research findings highlighted the opportunities for Cambodia, such as gaining a larger labour market with higher wages and helping skilled workers be recognized across ASEAN. However, Cambodia faced challenges due to the shortage of skilled workers and the mismatch between the local workforce's skills and the labour market's demands. The research recommended that ASEAN should enhance the Mutual Recognition Arrangements and expand more professions, for these days, it covers only a few fields, such as engineering, architecture, and healthcare, and the government should widely spread the ASEAN free of skilled labour agreement to the students so that they can understand and be prepared to compete for job opportunities; Cambodia should improve its quality of education, students should study majors that match the labour market needs, and local jobs should be further created by attracting local and international investors to decrease brain-drain.

Abstract

The study investigates the impact of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) on Grade 9 students' academic performance and attitudes towards learning Araling Panlipunan (Social Studies) at San Jose National School and Goa National School in the Philippines. Using a descriptive correlational design, it explores the relationships between the perceived effectiveness of CAI, attitudes towards its use, and academic performance. Students at both schools view CAI positively, recognising its benefits in enhancing assessment performance, critical thinking skills, and information retention. While they appreciate the supplementary materials, traditional teaching methods are slightly favoured for overall effectiveness and real-world application of knowledge. A low positive correlation exists between academic performance and perceived effectiveness at San Jose National School, implying that a better perception of CAI effectiveness may boost academic performance. Conversely, at Goa National School, a moderate positive correlation exists between academic performance and perceived effectiveness and attitude towards CAI, suggesting that a positive view and effectiveness of CAI correspond to improved academic outcomes. Enhancing students' perceptions of CAI could improve academic performance, highlighting the need for continued refinement of CAI strategies for enhanced learning experiences in Araling Panlipunan.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of broken homes (family conflicts, substance abuse, and single-parent households) on Junior secondary school students' mathematical performance in Abeokuta North Local Government Area, Ogun State, Nigeria. A survey research design using a quantitative approach was used, and a convenient sampling technique guided the selection of 5 schools from the population, of which 300 students were selected using simple random sampling. Four research questions guided this study. Broken Homes Questionnaire and Mathematics Academic Performance Test (MAPT) with reliability coefficients of 0.73 and 0.68, respectively, were used. The data were analyzed using regression analysis and descriptive statistics. Findings reveal no impact of family conflict, but substance abuse and single-parent households show a great impact on junior secondary school learners' performance in mathematics. Lastly, the results also show that the joint impact of the three variables has a great influence on the children's performance in school. In conclusion, single parenting, substance abuse, and family conflicts have an adverse effect on learners' academic performance. This is clearly linked to the looking-glass theory, emphasizing that a child will become what he experienced at home, which will, in turn, after the academic career. It is recommended that students from broken homes should be properly monitored, secured, and controlled

Abstract

Although much research has highlighted slow learners' difficulties in learning mathematics, most studies have focused only on the final learning outcomes without delving into the thinking processes during problem-solving. The lack of research on the cognitive steps slow learners take to develop critical thinking skills creates a gap in the literature that needs to be filled. The article examines the connection between the "critical thinking ability of slow learner students" and "solving mathematical problems." We recommend using the PRISMA flowchart article selection steps for systematic literature reviews. This systematic literature review investigates the critical thinking skills of slow learners in mathematical problem-solving. We screened 756 studies using the PRISMA framework, which yielded 8 relevant articles. Findings identify four main categories of errors (conceptual, principled, algorithmic, and computational) commonly encountered by slow learners, emphasising the necessity of tailored teaching methods and technological interventions. Clinical teaching is crucial for guiding slow learners through their educational journey. Recommendations include employing open-ended tasks and integrating real-world problems to develop critical thinking skills effectively. The study offers valuable insights for educators and curriculum developers aiming to enhance inclusive mathematics education.
