Abstract

This study aims to develop an e-module based on Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) to enhance junior high school students' creative thinking skills, particularly on flat-sided geometric shapes. The research was motivated by the low level of student creativity in mathematics, often attributed to conventional, teacher-centred learning methods. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach, utilising the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The participants were eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 16 Kota Jambi. The developed e-module was validated for practicality and effectiveness. The effectiveness was assessed through a pretest-posttest design, demonstrating a significant improvement in students’ creative thinking abilities across four key indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The average N-gain score of 0.79 indicates a high category of effectiveness. These findings suggest that integrating IBL with digital learning media provides an effective instructional tool for fostering students’ mathematical creativity. Therefore, the IBL-based e-module is recommended as an innovative alternative to support student-centred learning and the development of higher-order thinking skills in mathematics.

Abstract

This study employs qualitative descriptive case studies to examine mathematics learning difficulties in class VII students with dyscalculia, focusing on the use of mathematical concepts. Dyscalculia can be interpreted as a learning difficulty in calculating, although calculating skills are an essential foundation for solving mathematical problems and a primary means of mastering other fields of study. This study aims to analyse how students with dyscalculia experience difficulties in using mathematical concepts. This attitude focuses on three indicators of learning difficulties: (1) difficulty understanding concepts, (2) difficulties in calculations, and (3) difficulty in solving problems. This study was conducted at SMP Negeri 6 Jambi City, Jambi, Indonesia, in April 2025. Technical data collection, including written tests and interviews. This discovery indicates that students struggle to understand and apply mathematical concepts in algebraic operations. The observed errors include difficulties in conducting calculation operations, errors in writing positive and negative signs, and final answers that do not address the problem. In addition, according to the interview results, students acknowledge difficulties in completing additional operations, such as subtraction and multiplication, and have limited knowledge of algebraic concepts, including variables, coefficients, and constants. The findings offer a concrete illustration of these difficulties, particularly in algebraic operations.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between the intensity of playing Mobile Legends and vocabulary development among senior high school students. The growing adoption of digital games for educational purposes—particularly in language learning—necessitates research into their integration within structured learning environments. Utilizing a quantitative correlational design, the study involved 25 purposively selected students from SMA Labschool Untad Palu who actively participated in a Mobile Legends extracurricular program. Data were collected through a 15-item Likert-scale questionnaire measuring gameplay intensity and a 30-item vocabulary test targeting common nouns, verbs, and adjectives derived from gameplay contexts. The questionnaire demonstrated strong internal consistency (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.882), and all items were deemed valid. Results from the Pearson Product-Moment correlation analysis indicated a moderate, statistically significant relationship between gameplay intensity and vocabulary acquisition (r = 0.538, p = 0.005). These findings suggest that structured digital gameplay in English-language environments can support incidental vocabulary learning and serve as an effective pedagogical supplement to conventional instruction.

Abstract

This research examines the effect of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach on the critical thinking skills of Grade IV elementary students while they are studying fractions. The study aims to enhance students' critical thinking abilities by implementing TaRL. Employing a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design, the study involved 41 SDN Polisi 2 Bogor fourth-grade students. Two classes, IVA and IVB, were selected through saturation sampling. Data collection tools included a 10-item critical thinking test and an observation sheet to assess critical thinking skills. Results indicate a significant enhancement in students' critical thinking skills with the TaRL approach, supported by hypothesis testing that yields a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (H1). N-Gain test outcomes further illustrate the effectiveness of TaRL in improving critical thinking abilities, particularly in IVB class mathematics lessons on fractions, while fostering increased engagement and deeper conceptual understanding among students. These findings suggest that the TaRL approach can be incorporated into mathematics learning to enhance students’ critical thinking and conceptual grasp.

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the human values in the script of the drama Mega-Mega by Arifin C. Noer through a humanistic psychology approach. The main focus of the research is to answer the question: How do the struggles of the characters in the drama reflect the five levels of human needs according to Abraham Maslow's theory of the hierarchy of needs? These five needs include physiological needs, a sense of security, social relationships, rewards, and self-actualization. The drama Mega-Mega depicts the lives of marginalized groups who struggle to maintain dignity amid social, economic, and political pressures. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with text Panutysis, identifying the manifestation of Maslow's needs in the behavior and dialogue of the characters. The results show that the conflict in the drama is not only external, but also reflects an existential crisis and the search for meaning in life. Characters like Mae, Koyal, and Retno experience the process of self-actualization through struggle, emotional attachment, and efforts to maintain dignity. Thus, Mega-Mega is not only a social critique, but also a reflective mirror of humanity's struggle in extreme conditions. This study offers a new perspective on the script through the lens of humanistic psychology, which was previously rarely used in the Panutysis of this drama.

Abstract

This research is a quasi-experimental quantitative study. Descriptively, this study aims to describe the increase in environmental awareness of fourth-grade students at Ceger 1 State Elementary School in Bogor who have been learning using a Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) approach based on local wisdom and a Scientific Approach. Comparatively, it tests the difference in the increase of environmental awareness among fourth-grade students at Ceger 1 State Elementary School in Bogor between learning using the CRT approach based on local wisdom and the scientific approach. The population of this study consists of all fourth-grade students at Ceger 1 State Elementary School in Bogor, which consists of two classes: class IV A with 17 students and class IV B with 17 students. The data collection technique used a testing instrument in the form of multiple-choice questions for the pretest and posttest, which had been trialled in class V with 19 students. The validity test results of 10 questions yielded a significance value < 0.05, meaning the instrument can be used. The data analysis technique employed descriptive analysis, equivalence tests, normality and homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing. The results of this study indicate that descriptively, the increase in environmental awareness with the CRT approach obtained an average of 91.76, which falls into the very high category, while environmental awareness using the scientific approach obtained an average of 75.88, which falls into the high category. Comparatively, there is a significant difference in the increased environmental awareness in the class taught using the local wisdom-based CRT and scientific approaches. The t-test results obtained a Sig. (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05. This indicates that the local wisdom-based CRT approach significantly increases environmental awareness more than the scientific approach.
