Abstract

Low levels of students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics pose a significant barrier to mastering subsequent topics and developing other essential mathematical skills. One contributing factor frequently associated with this issue is the limited variety and contextual relevance of instructional media used in the classroom. This study aims to develop an ethnomathematics-based pop-up book to enhance elementary students’ conceptual understanding of three-dimensional geometric shapes, evaluated in terms of its validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The research employs a development methodology following the ADDIE model, which consists of five key stages: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The participants in this study were 25 sixth-grade students at SDN 1 Bayan. Data were collected through tests and questionnaires and analyzed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. The findings revealed that: (1) the media expert validation yielded a score of 70, categorized as “highly valid”; (2) the content expert validation resulted in a score of 69, also rated “highly valid”; (3) small group trials conducted by teachers and students obtained scores of 53 and 56.8 respectively, both categorized as “highly practical”; (4) the large group trial yielded a score of 54.4, also falling within the “highly practical” category; and (5) the effectiveness test using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test produced a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest results. These results confirm that the ethnomathematics-based pop-up book is valid, practical, and effective in improving sixth-grade students’ conceptual understanding of three-dimensional geometry. Integrating ethnomathematical elements is designed to assist teachers in delivering more engaging and interactive instruction, thus enabling students to comprehend geometric concepts better through cultural contexts.

Abstract

This study explored the reading difficulties of Grade 10 students with the objectives of describing their reading profiles, identifying factors affecting their reading profile, and proposing a relevant output based on the results of the study. The research addressed the problem of persistent reading challenges among secondary learners despite prior literacy instruction. A qualitative case study method was employed. Data were collected using the Rapid Literacy Assessment, unstructured interviews, and classroom observations from five purposefully selected student participants. Results showed that substitution errors were the most frequent reading miscues. These were followed by omission, repetition, and reversion. The analysis further identified key factors affecting the participants' reading profiles. These include socio-economic constraints, minimal parental involvement, psychological barriers, observed reading behaviors, and delayed literacy development. In response, a tailored reading workbook was developed to address the student’s specific decoding and fluency needs. The study emphasized the importance of focused interventions that target both technical and affective aspects of reading. It is recommended that schools enhance parental engagement and increase access to reading materials. The developed workbook is suggested as supplementary material to support struggling readers and improve literacy instruction in similar contexts.

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.
