Abstract

This study examined the mathematical reasoning abilities of elementary students at MI Salamah, in Jambi City, on the topics of patterns and geometric figures. The research was motivated by the limited number of studies that explore students’ real-time reasoning processes in elementary geometry contexts. The study aimed to describe how students with different ability levels demonstrate mathematical reasoning when solving pattern and geometry problems. A descriptive qualitative method was applied, involving three purposively selected fifth-grade students representing high, medium, and low ability levels. Data were collected through two open-ended reasoning tasks developed based on four indicators: making conjectures, performing mathematical manipulations, providing justification, and drawing conclusions. The findings revealed clear variations in students’ reasoning abilities: high-ability students demonstrated logical reasoning but had difficulty generalizing patterns; medium-ability students showed partial conceptual understanding with inconsistent justifications; and low-ability students relied on guessing without coherent reasoning. These results indicate that students tended to depend on procedural thinking rather than conceptual reasoning. The study contributes to understanding the developmental shift from procedural to conceptual reasoning and offers implications for designing instructional activities that strengthen reasoning in elementary mathematics learning.

Abstract

Mastery of the concept of surface area in solid figures remains a challenge for junior high school students, particularly in linking three-dimensional representations with their corresponding nets. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of transparent solid figures as concrete learning media in improving students’ understanding of surface area concepts. Conducted at SMPIT Al Mubarok, Serang City, during the 2025/2026 academic year, the study employed a quantitative method using a one-group pretest–posttest experimental design. Thirty ninth-grade students were selected through accidental sampling based on accessibility and availability. A concept comprehension test was administered before and after the treatment, and data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results indicated that students’ surface-area comprehension improved significantly following the use of transparent concrete instructional media. The mean pretest score of 81.43 increased to 100 on the posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05), and the N-Gain score of 1.00 was categorized as high, confirming that transparent solid media were highly effective in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding of surface area.

Abstract

This study aims to examine whether the Riddle Game can increase the vocabulary of eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. This research was conducted because it was discovered that students fear making mistakes and have difficulty understanding meaning, using words, and spelling them. Students feel bored when learning from textbooks and only listening to the teacher's explanations. The research used a quasi-experimental design with two groups. The population was 103 students from 4 classes at SMP Negeri 19 Palu. The sample comprised two classes: class VIII A as the experimental group and class VIII B as the control group. Vocabulary tests consisting of multiple-choice, categorization, spelling words, and sentence correction items were used as instruments for both pre-test and post-test. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney U test to test differences between groups and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test to determine changes within each group. The results show that the experimental group achieved a higher post-test mean score, from (32.72) to (72.76), compared to the control group with a score from (36.42) to (47.38), with a significant difference between both groups (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the Riddle Game significantly increases eighth-grade students' vocabulary at SMP Negeri 19 Palu.

Abstract

The role of Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) as a mediator of employee performance remains inconsistent, and research in the Indonesian public sector, particularly in West Kalimantan PDAM, remains limited. This study examines the role of Organisational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) as a mediator in the relationships among motivation, discipline, organisational culture, and employee performance at Regional Water Companies (PDAMs) in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with a sample of 110 employees from PDAM Tirta Pancur Aji, one of 13 PDAMs in West Kalimantan, this research addresses the research gap regarding the mediating role of OCB in public sector organisations. Results indicate that motivation, discipline, and organisational culture significantly influence both OCB and employee performance, with organisational culture exerting the strongest effect, followed by work motivation and work discipline. Furthermore, OCB partially mediates the relationships between these HR factors and employee performance. Research findings also show that OCB has the strongest direct impact on PDAM employee performance. These findings contribute to organisational behaviour theory in the public sector and offer practical implications for PDAM management to enhance service delivery and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation.

Abstract

This study was driven by the challenges dyslexic students face in understanding mathematical word problems, stemming from decoding, language processing, and neurological difficulties. The research aims to describe and examine how dyslexic students comprehend math word problems with support from the Game-Math TCM AI, which provides text-to-speech and visual manipulative features. This study employed a descriptive qualitative case study involving two sixth-grade students with dyslexia selected through screening tests. Before completing five addition and subtraction word problems, the students were introduced to the AI features used in the learning activities. Data were gathered from worksheets, screen recordings of student AI interactions, and semi-structured interviews. The analysis focused on four comprehension indicators: interpreting, classifying, inferring, and comparing. Findings show that text-to-speech assisted students in understanding the problem content (interpreting), while visual manipulatives supported their ability to identify and select the appropriate operations (classifying). Both features also helped students outline the steps toward conclusions (inferring), and the visual tools enabled them to verify their understanding (comparing). Overall, the combination of text-to-speech, visual manipulatives, and guided support reduced cognitive demands and strengthened dyslexic students’ understanding of math word problems through the Game-Math TCM platform.

Abstract

Learning disengagement among Indonesian school learners reflects a gradual breakdown of internal learning connections, involving the loss of personal meaning in learning, prolonged emotional saturation, self-doubt, and weakened psychological attachment to the school environment. This study conceptualises humanistic counselling as a mediating psychological process that restores students’ self-systems before behavioural engagement reappears. Using a qualitative design oriented to conceptual model development and analyzed through thematic synthesis, the research integrates core humanistic principles, including unconditional acceptance, empathic exploration, and reflective, non-directive dialogue, as internal enablers of learner recovery. The study formulates the Humanistic Counselling Mediation Pathway Model, identifying key psychological mediators, including reconstructed learning meaning, improved self-concept, emotional clarity, and renewed academic belonging. These internal processes are presented as antecedent mechanisms that logically precede the reduction of avoidance and withdrawal behaviours, allowing engagement indicators to return as behavioural consequences rather than as direct enforcement. The model offers an innovative contribution by explaining how engagement restoration is driven by intrapersonal psychological reconstruction, thereby strengthening the scientific narrative of counselling not merely as responsive support but as a preparatory transformation mechanism within Indonesian school behavioural learning contexts.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the underutilization of the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum as an educational tourism site and a resource for local historical education, despite its substantial collections on the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate, colonialism, and South Sumatran culture. This study aims to clarify the use of the museum as an educational tour, analyze its role as a repository of local historical knowledge, and identify challenges and opportunities for its improvement within the context of history education in schools. The study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology, using data collection techniques including observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman framework. The findings reveal that the SMB II Museum has implemented educational tours through guided tours, cultural workshops, and thematic exhibitions that provide contextual learning experiences for students. Nonetheless, the museum's usage has been subpar due to insufficient facilities, a lack of innovative collection display, limited engagement from schools, and poor communication between the museum and educational institutions. These findings highlight the imperative of modernizing educational media, improving collaboration between museums and schools, and securing local government support to ensure the museum functions effectively as a center for local history education.

Abstract

Many EFL students continue to struggle with plural formation, particularly in distinguishing regular and irregular noun patterns. This study aimed to identify the inflectional markings most frequently misused in forming plural nouns, to classify inflectional errors, and to calculate the frequency of each error type produced by EFL students. The researchers employed a quantitative descriptive research design. The study population consisted of third-semester students from the English Education Study Program at Tadulako University, with 153 participants selected via simple random sampling. A test consisting of 35 questions was used as the main instrument in this study, and the errors were analysed using Dulay’s Surface Strategy Taxonomy. The findings showed that the irregular form -f/-fe to -ves was the most frequently misused inflectional marking by the students, with a total frequency of 500 errors. Furthermore, 2,358 errors were found in students’ answers across four types: omission, addition, misformation, and misordering. Misformation was the most frequent type of error with a frequency of 1,014 (43.00%), followed by omission with 813 (34.48%), addition with 385 (16.33%), and misordering with 146 (6.19%). These findings indicate that students require more targeted instruction on irregular plural forms. The results highlight the need for teaching strategies that explicitly strengthen students’ morphological understanding to reduce recurring errors in plural formation.

Abstract

This study investigates the socio-econo-ecolinguistic dimensions of traditional culinary lexicons in Malaka Regency, a border area in eastern Indonesia. The research employs a qualitative descriptive design involving three social groups students, school pupils, and the general community as participants to capture intergenerational perspectives on traditional culinary knowledge. The study aims to (1) identify the linguistic forms of traditional culinary lexicons, (2) examine the dynamics of lexicon maintenance within local communities, and (3) analyze the socio-economic and ecological meanings embedded in traditional culinary practices. Data were obtained through field-based research methods, including community observation and documentation of local culinary terminology. The findings reveal sixteen traditional culinary lexicons: akar bilan, batar tasak, batar sonan, batar daan, batar tunun, batar faihedik, filun, fehuk tunun, fehuk sonan, fehuk hukus, fehuk daan, hudi tasak, hudi tunun, hudi daan, nunak, and es nu. These lexicons comprise basic and phrasal forms that convey cultural values, perform descriptive functions, and carry symbolic meanings rooted in local traditions. With regard to lexical vitality, the study indicates a weakening of intergenerational transmission, as younger generations, particularly students and pupils, demonstrate significantly lower levels of comprehension and use of traditional culinary lexicons than the general community, revealing a clear lexical gap. From a socio-economic perspective, the continued consumption of traditional foods contributes to local economic resilience by using locally sourced ingredients. Ecologically, these practices promote waste reduction, environmental preservation, and biodiversity conservation, while simultaneously supporting linguistic and cultural sustainability. Overall, the study highlights the importance of ecolinguistic awareness in sustaining the vitality of traditional culinary lexicons as an integral component of cultural identity and environmental ethics.
