This study aims to determine the level of learning motivation of grade VIII.K through the provision of rewards in the form of activeness stickers as a form of positive reinforcement. Initial observations show that most students are not interested in learning mathematics, as evidenced by their low participation in answering questions, doing exercises, and discussing. This condition makes it difficult for teachers to encourage students to be more enthusiastic and motivated. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method which adapts the Action research model by Kemmis & McTaggart. The subjects in this study were 32 students in class VIII.K. In collecting data, this study used the method of observation of learning activities and a mathematics learning motivation questionnaire using a research instrument in the form of a mathematics learning motivation questionnaire using a Likert scale. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis of qualitative and quantitative data. The results showed that the average student learning motivation went from 65 (sufficient category) in the pre-cycle, to 74 (high category) in the first cycle, and to 86 (very high category) in the second cycle. Thus, the provision of rewards in the form of activeness stickers as a form of positive reinforcement has been proven to increase the motivation to learn mathematics of students in class VIII.K SMP Negeri 2 Palu. This improvement shows that simple reward such as activeness stickers are able to be foster a sense of joy, be appreciated, and encourage to be more active in learning.

Learning motivation is a crucial factor influencing students’ success in understanding and mastering academic subjects, including mathematics. This article aims to examine various motivation theories and their implications for mathematics learning at the school level. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, this study explores major theories such as the Self-Determination Theory, Expectancy-Value Theory, Attribution Theory, and the concept of self-efficacy. The review process follows the guidelines of Snyder (2019) and Boell & Cecez-Kecmanovic (2015) through four stages: topic identification, literature search, article selection based on inclusion–exclusion criteria, and data analysis and synthesis. Literature sources were obtained from Google Scholar, Scopus, DOAJ, and SINTA databases, covering publications from 2010 to 2024. The findings indicate that the proper application of motivational theories can enhance students’ engagement, confidence, and persistence in learning mathematics while strengthening the teacher’s role as an effective learning facilitator.

Mathematics is a field of study that requires students to continuously develop a deep understanding of concepts, thereby enhancing their conceptual comprehension skills. This study aims to examine and measure the effectiveness of the TPACK-based Cabri 3D learning media integrated into the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in improving students’ understanding of geometric concepts at SMK Negeri 1 Kuningan. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling, where from the population of the Light Vehicle Engineering (Automotive) Department, class XI TKRO 1 was selected as the experimental group and class XI TKRO 3 as the control group. This research utilized an experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. Prior to testing the hypothesis regarding differences in conceptual understanding improvement between the experimental and control classes, normality and homogeneity tests were conducted on the N-gain scores of each class. The normality test using the Shapiro-Wilk method indicated that the data were normally distributed, while the homogeneity test showed that the data were not homogeneous. Consequently, as the assumptions for a parametric test were not met, hypothesis testing was carried out using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test. The results revealed that the calculated t-value exceeded the critical t-table value, leading to the rejection of H₀, which indicates a significant difference in students’ conceptual understanding between the experimental and control groups. This finding suggests that the TPACK-based Cabri 3D learning media is effective in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding. Moreover, the questionnaire results showed positive student responses, indicating that the use of such learning media also fosters greater student engagement in the learning process.

This study aims to analyze the effect of learning independence on students’ mathematics achievement in the topic of function composition among tenth-grade students of SMAS Pelita Ngabang. The research background indicates low test results, with 78.5% of students scoring below the minimum mastery criterion (KKM) on function composition. Employing a quantitative explanatory survey method, the independent variable was learning independence and the dependent variable was mathematics achievement. The population comprised all tenth-grade students of SMAS Pelita Ngabang in the 2024/2025 academic year, with a sample of 28 students selected through purposive sampling. Learning independence data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire based on five indicators (intrinsic motivation, discipline, initiative, self-confidence, and self-control), while achievement data were obtained through an essay test on function composition. Validity and reliability tests confirmed that all questionnaire items and test questions were valid and reliable.Data analysis included normality, linearity, and simple linear regression tests using SPSS 21. The results showed that the data were normally distributed and the variables had a linear relationship. The regression equation Y = 30.603 + 0.606X with a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05 indicates a positive and significant influence of learning independence on mathematics achievement. These findings highlight that enhancing students’ learning independence significantly contributes to academic performance, suggesting that teachers should implement strategies that foster student autonomy, particularly in mathematics topics requiring deep conceptual understanding.

Quarter-life crisis can have different meanings for each individual. The purpose of this study was to uncover the meaning of quarter-life crisis from the perspective of Mathematics Education students based on their personal experiences. The method used was descriptive qualitative with a phenomenological approach and four 6th semester students of the Mathematics Education Study Program at a university in West Java Province were selected purposively based on the criteria that the participants had truly experienced a quarter-life crisis and were able to explain the experience in depth. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using the Miles method which included data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that each participant interpreted the quarter-life crisis differently, some interpreted it as a golden age, a phase of self-growth, confusion about the future, and early adulthood after we passed through adolescence which was all good. Thus, it is concluded that the meaning of quarter-life crisis from the perspective of Mathematics Education students varies depending on what they experience and feel. This study also shows that there is pressure that arises from various sources, both from within the participants, academics, and the surrounding environment, including family expectations and social pressure after graduation which are the causes of the quarter-life crisis in Mathematics Education students.
