Abstract

Fraction concepts represent one of the most challenging mathematical domains in elementary education, with persistent international difficulties in student comprehension despite their fundamental importance for advanced mathematical proficiency. Traditional instructional methods emphasizing rote memorization have consistently demonstrated limitations in fostering deep conceptual understanding. This study investigated the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in enhancing elementary students' fraction understanding compared to conventional teaching approaches. A quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups was employed, involving 38 elementary students from nine schools. The experimental group (n=16) received PBL instruction featuring authentic, real-world fraction problems requiring collaborative solution strategies, while the control group (n=22) participated in traditional direct instruction. Data collection utilized pre-test and post-test assessments measuring conceptual and procedural fraction understanding, structured classroom observations documenting engagement and learning behaviors, and student feedback questionnaires capturing motivation and confidence levels. The experimental group demonstrated substantial improvement with a mean increase of 33.25 points (Cohen's d = 3.47), while the control group showed minimal gains (7.78 points, Cohen's d = 0.91). Paired-sample t-tests confirmed statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) favoring the experimental group. Qualitative analysis revealed enhanced collaborative learning, mathematical discourse, and problem-solving confidence among PBL participants. Student motivation scores were significantly higher in the experimental group (M = 4.31 vs. 3.18). Results provide robust empirical evidence supporting PBL's superiority over traditional methods for fraction instruction. The findings validate constructivist learning principles and demonstrate that authentic problem-solving contexts facilitate deeper conceptual understanding, multiple representational thinking, and sustained student engagement, addressing persistent challenges in elementary mathematics education.

Abstract

This research was carried out at SD Negeri Jururejo 2, Ngawi District, Ngawi Regency, with the aim of determining the effectiveness of the use of diorama media in improving the learning outcomes of grade III students on metamorphosis material in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning. The problem in this study departs from the initial findings which show that as many as 63.2% of students have not reached the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) in metamorphosis material. This is because the material of metamorphosis is abstract and cannot be understood well through lecture methods or textbooks. Diorama media as a three-dimensional visual media is considered to be able to provide a concrete learning experience and in accordance with the characteristics of the cognitive development of elementary school students. This study uses a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The sample amounted to 19 grade III students, determined through saturated sampling techniques. The instrument is in the form of a multiple-choice test of 30 questions that have gone through validity and reliability tests. The results of the analysis showed an increase in the average score from 64.63 in the pretest to 93.26 in the posttest. The paired t-test produced a significance value (p < 0.05) and an effect size of 2.91 which showed a very large influence. It can be concluded that diorama media is effective in improving student learning outcomes in metamorphosis materials, creating more interesting, even, and easy learning for all students.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model, implemented through Kasti Ball, in fostering responsibility among fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Jembangan 2. Using a quasi-experimental design, 30 students were purposively selected and divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received four TPSR-integrated kasti ball sessions, while the control group underwent conventional physical education. Responsibility was measured using a validated 20-item Likert-scale questionnaire aligned with Hellison’s five-level responsibility framework. Statistical analysis using paired and independent t-tests showed a significant increase in the experimental group’s responsibility scores (M_pre = 56.20, M_post = 61.80; p < .05), while the control group’s change was not statistically significant (M_pre = 55.47, M_post = 57.80; p = .196). A post-test comparison revealed a significant between-group difference favoring the experimental group (p = .023). Observational data further supported the quantitative findings, showing improved student self-regulation, cooperation, and rule adherence. The study concludes that the TPSR model, when integrated into traditional games like kasti, can effectively promote character development—particularly responsibility—among elementary school students. Teachers and schools are encouraged to adopt culturally relevant, value-based physical education models to reinforce character education holistically.

Abstract

This study explores the presence of mathematical concepts embedded within the traditional culinary process of Nasi Pecel Tumpang, a renowned dish from Kediri, Indonesia. Utilizing an autoethnographic approach combined with semi-structured interviews, the researcher investigates personal childhood experiences and supports them with interviews conducted with local food vendors to uncover mathematical practices inherent in the preparation, processing, and sale of this cultural delicacy. The study involved five traditional food vendors selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that daily culinary activities — often seen as routine or informal — contain rich mathematical values, including counting, measurement, comparison, fractions, ratios, sequencing, geometry, and data representation. During the preparation stage, vendors engage in mathematical thinking through the use of standard units (grams, liters), whole number operations (addition, subtraction), and estimation (e.g., handfuls, pinches). The cooking process involves the use of ordinal numbers to sequence tasks, time measurement for boiling or frying ingredients, and length measurement when cutting vegetables. Moreover, elements of geometry are evident in the shapes of utensils and food arrangement, while proportional reasoning is applied in the formulation of spice blends. In the post-production stage, mathematical applications expand to pricing strategies, revenue calculation, and data tabulation using basic statistical tools such as means, frequency tables, and pictograms. The study underscores the value of integrating local cultural practices into mathematics education, offering a contextualized learning experience that is both meaningful and culturally relevant to students. Specific research questions guided the inquiry, focusing on how traditional culinary activities reflect mathematical thinking and how these insights can inform classroom practices. By leveraging familiar cultural artifacts like traditional foods, educators can foster greater student engagement, reduce math anxiety, and build stronger connections between academic content and everyday life. This research contributes to the broader field of ethnomathematics and highlights the importance of culturally responsive pedagogy in elementary education, particularly in areas rich with cultural heritage.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of mathematical concepts within the traditional batik motifs of Sidoarjo, Indonesia, through a qualitative ethnographic approach. Focusing on three selected motifs—Beras Wutah, Kembang Tebu, and Udang Bandeng—the research aims to identify and describe inherent mathematical elements such as symmetry, geometry, patterns, and proportional reasoning embedded in the design and production process. Data were collected through direct observation, semi-structured interviews with local batik artisan Ir. Nurul Huda, and documentation analysis at the Batik Tulis Al-Huda Gallery in Sidokare, Sidoarjo. The data were analyzed using Spradley’s ethnographic method, which includes domain, taxonomic, and componential analysis. Findings reveal that Sidoarjo batik motifs are rich in mathematical structures. The Beras Wutah motif displays tessellation and reflective symmetry; Kembang Tebu illustrates rotational symmetry and repetitive geometric patterns; while the Udang Bandeng motif incorporates proportional scaling and spatial reasoning. These mathematical ideas, though traditionally unformalized, demonstrate deep-rooted local knowledge that aligns with formal mathematical principles. The integration of ethnomathematical perspectives into classroom instruction has the potential to contextualize learning, enhance students’ engagement, and foster cultural appreciation. This study concludes that batik, as a cultural artifact, holds significant educational value in mathematics education. Incorporating local cultural resources like batik into curriculum design not only supports culturally responsive teaching but also bridges abstract mathematical concepts with tangible real-world experiences. The findings advocate for the inclusion of ethnomathematics in primary education as a strategy to make mathematics more accessible, meaningful, and inclusive for diverse learners.
