Abstract

Students' understanding of fractions in fourth-grade elementary school remains low due to the lack of contextual and engaging teaching materials. This study aims to develop teaching materials based on Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) to enhance students' understanding of fractions. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), though it was limited to the Develop stage due to time constraints. Expert validation results indicate that the teaching material has a very high level of validity. A limited trial conducted on 10 fourth-grade students showed an improvement in understanding by 45%-54%. Additionally, teacher feedback revealed that this teaching material is highly practical and easy to use in learning. The RME approach, which emphasizes the mathematization of real-world situations, has proven to help students grasp fraction concepts more effectively than conventional methods. Thus, RME-based teaching materials can serve as an innovative alternative to improving the quality of mathematics learning in elementary schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of the fifth-grade IPAS daily test questions at SD Negeri 153/X Harapan Makmur based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method using document analysis, interviews, and observations. "A total of two IPAS teachers were interviewed and observed to support data triangulation." The primary data consists of 120 daily test questions, categorized into LOTS (Lower Order Thinking Skills) and HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills). The findings reveal that 81.7% of the questions fall into the LOTS category, while only 18.3% qualify as HOTS, with the majority at the analyzing (C4) level (72.7%), while evaluating (C5) and creating (C6) comprise only 18.2% and 9.1%, respectively. Interviews with teachers indicate that the main challenges in designing HOTS questions are a lack of training, time constraints, and difficulties in creating assessment rubrics. Therefore, improving teachers’ competence through HOTS question development training and the creation of a HOTS-based question bank is crucial to enhancing the quality of learning assessment.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Augmented Reality (AR) Smart Cards in secondary schools in Mataram, Indonesia, focusing on their impact on student engagement and the challenges faced by teachers and students in adopting this technology. AR Smart Cards enhance interactive learning by overlaying digital information on real-world objects, creating a more immersive educational experience. Specific examples of improvement include an increase in student participation during interactive activities, such as physics simulations where students actively engage with 3D visualizations of complex phenomena, and enhanced problem-solving in geography, where students analyze and interact with 3D maps of regions. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological research design was employed, involving in-depth interviews with teachers and students, along with classroom observations. The findings reveal that AR Smart Cards significantly improve student engagement, motivation, and understanding of complex concepts. However, challenges such as limited access to devices, infrastructure constraints, and insufficient teacher training were identified as barriers to effective implementation. The study recommends investing in technology infrastructure, providing comprehensive teacher training, and fostering a collaborative learning environment to ensure the successful integration of AR in classrooms. This research contributes valuable insights into the potential of AR-based learning tools in enhancing student participation and educational outcomes. Future research could explore the long-term effects of AR on learning retention, investigate the impact of AR in diverse educational settings, and examine the effectiveness of AR tools across various disciplines to identify optimal integration strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the condition of the teaching materials of the Indonesian Basic Education Course (KPDI) and the needs of BIPA (Indonesian for Foreign Speakers) teaching materials for KPDI students in Mindanao, Philippines. This research method is a descriptive research type in the initial stage of defining the 4D model development research. Data collection techniques include interviews, non-participant observations, and literature studies. Interviews were conducted with students, teachers of the Indonesian School of Davao (SID), and staff of the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia (KJRI) Davao City. The results of the study showed that the main obstacles were the limited availability of relevant teaching materials and the lack of tutors with a strong Indonesian background. Reading comprehension skills, especially vocabulary, need to be improved. Priority topics of teaching materials include introductions, home environment, transportation, and school activities. Teaching materials must be easily accessible, independently studied, and interesting, and integrate the values ​​of the Pancasila Student Profile (P3) to strengthen Indonesian values. This is important for students who will continue their education at the Indonesian School Abroad (SILN). These findings highlight the need for contextual, accessible BIPA materials relevant to students’ environments and integrated with Pancasila values to support language skills and global readiness.

Abstract

One of the important mathematical thinking skills that students master is critical thinking skills. In fact, students' mathematical critical thinking skills in Indonesia are still relatively low. One of the factors that cause students to have low mathematical critical thinking skills is the use of less creative media. This study was conducted by analyzing the effect of using H5P interactive media on mathematical critical thinking skills. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using H5P Interactive Media on the mathematical critical thinking skills of students in grade IX SMP Negeri 1 Ketapang. The samples in this study were students of class IX B as the experimental class and students of class IX C as the control class. The design used was a pretest-posttest control group design. The data of this research is quantitative data obtained from a mathematical critical thinking ability test. Based on the results of hypothesis testing using a t-test with α = 0.05, it was found that the increase in mathematical critical thinking ability of students who took part in learning by using H5P interactive media was higher than the increase in mathematical critical thinking ability of students who took part in learning without using H5P interactive media. It can be concluded that the use of H5P interactive media has an effect on students' mathematical critical thinking skills.
