Abstract

This research aims to describe students' dual-process in solving number pattern questions and scaffolding that support students' dual-process. This research uses a qualitative research approach with a case study type. The subjects of this research were two 10th grade high school students. The subjects' written answers, recorded interviews, and researcher notes were used as the basis to analyze the subjects' dual-process and scaffolding. There are three findings from this research. First, subjects tend to activate mental processes that are automatic, subjective-empirical, and often occur unconsciously in solving number pattern questions. Second, errors occur due to the subject's tendency towards one of the mental processes which are automatic, subjective-empirical, and often occur unconsciously. Third, scaffolding in the form of questions and instructions by the researcher supports the activeness of the subject's mental processes which are empirically accurate and involve deeper consideration more thorough analysis, and greater consciousness in decision-making, thereby helping the subject correct his mistakes when solving number pattern questions. The findings of this research indicate that the tendency to activate mental processes that are automatic, subjective-empirical, and often occur unconsciously can cause disadvantages. Therefore, the learning process needs strategies that support students to optimize both mental processes. Teacher training that focuses on learning strategies that support students to optimize the use of both mental processes needs to be held regularly.

Abstract

Social media plays a very influential role, especially in the world of politics and elections. The 2024 elections in Indonesia show how social media can influence political dynamics. This research aims to analyze the influence of social media on the political participation of IAIN Kediri students in the 2024 Presidential Election, as well as understand how social media shapes public opinion and polarizes political views, with a focus on its impact on political participation among students. Data from the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APJII) shows that the majority of the Indonesian population actively uses social media, so political candidates use platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to attract support. Social media accelerates the delivery of political messages and has the potential to strengthen polarization and spread misleading information. In this research, a binary logistic regression model is used to analyze the factors that influence student participation in the 2024 presidential election. The findings show that students who actively follow news in mass media have a 7,157 times greater chance of participating in the 2024 presidential election compared to those who do not follow the news. These results emphasize the importance of social media in motivating political participation among students and provide insight into how social media can be utilized to improve the integrity and quality of democracy.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy is the ability of students to understand, interpret, and apply mathematical concepts in various contexts of daily life. This study aims to analyze the numeracy literacy abilities of students with an introvert personality type, which has rarely been studied in previous studies. Most studies focus more on cognitive factors without considering personality, which influences students' performance in solving mathematics problems. This study involved 32 eighth-grade students of SMPN 6 Pasuruan who were classified as introverts based on Jung's Type Indicator (JTI). Data were collected through a numeracy literacy test of five questions with varying difficulty levels. The results showed that introvert students had an average score of 32.74 out of 100, with a tendency to excel in questions requiring in-depth analysis and accuracy. However, they have difficulty with tasks that require quick completion due to limitations in time management. If not addressed, this challenge can affect their academic achievement, especially in time-limited exams. Theoretically, this study enriches the understanding of numeracy literacy by considering personality factors. Practically, the results of this study can be the basis for designing more inclusive learning strategies, such as gradual training in time management. From a policy perspective, these findings provide recommendations for schools to develop more flexible assessments to support students with different learning characteristics.

Abstract

The increasing integration of technology within educational settings underscores a critical need for the development and rigorous validation of digital learning resources capable of enhancing pedagogical effectiveness and fostering meaningful student engagement. This research directly addresses this imperative by detailing the systematic design, meticulous development, and comprehensive evaluation of a scientific-based interactive multimedia tool specifically crafted for the instruction of polyhedron concepts. The researchers used one of R&D (Research and Development) model as development procedures, that is Five steps of the ADDIE development model— Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. With an average score of 92.2% from expert material and 87.1% from experts media, these results indicate that the designed product is valid. In the product practical test, an average score of 90.2% was obtained, which shows that the product produced is practical. The n-gain formula is used to determine the product effectiveness. Based on this test, the results obtained were 0.67 in small scale testing and 0.64 in large scale testing. Both of the results are included in the medium criteria, which means that the product developed is quite effective. The study's findings demonstrate that the created products are of excellent quality, can be effectively used to enhance learning, and get positive feedback from students.

Abstract

Purebred chicken eggs are a staple food source commodity that is widely chosen by the community because it has an affordable price with high protein content and sufficient availability. However, even though availability of purebred chicken eggs is sufficient, there is still a problem, namely very fluctuating prices. Efforts to read these uncertain market conditions are urgently needed for decision-making by producers, consumers, and even the government, one of which is by forecasting prices. Forecasting can be used to predict future conditions by looking at trends in past conditions. This study uses Artificial Neural Network method with a feed-forward backpropagation algorithm. The purpose of this study is to determine price forecasting architecture using ANN and forecast price of purebred chicken eggs in East Java in 2024 and 2025. The research data used is monthly price of purebred chicken eggs in East Java province from 2018 to 2024. The results of study produced best architecture, 12-12-1. The resulting training Mean Square Error value was 0.00099947 with an accuracy of 98.01%, MSE of the test was 0.023797 and MAPE value was 0.164254. Based on MAPE values generated by forecasting using Artificial Neural Network, it has a good level of forecasting ability.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many aspects of life, including immunization services. As a result of disruptions in these services, tens of millions of children worldwide are at risk of contracting diphtheria, hundreds of thousands of infants did not receive complete DPT immunization, and more than a million infants missed BCG vaccination at birth. Over the past three years, there has been an increase in mortality rates, reaching 10.6% in 2022. Additionally, the number of diphtheria cases in 2022 was more than twice that of 2021. To address the re-emerging of diphtheria, various studies have been conducted, one of which is through mathematical modeling, which can be useful in predicting the dynamics of disease spread and devising strategies to control it. This study developed a mathematical model to describe the dynamics of diphtheria spread with the influence of vaccination completeness. The dynamical analysis method used is by analyzing the eigenvalues and numerical calculation, while numerical simulations employ Fourth Order Runge-Kutta Method. Results from the dynamical analysis and numerical simulations indicate that the disease-free equilibrium point is stable if basic reproduction number , and the endemic equilibrium point is feasible and stable if . Moreover, increasing the vaccination completeness factor within a given population can aid in efforts to prevent the spread of diphtheria. Based on the simulation of the scenarios developed in this study, diphtheria will not become endemic when the vaccination completeness factor reaches 90% and the treatment rate reaches 30%.

Abstract

The combination of rainbow coloring and anti-magic labeling is known as Rainbow Antimagic Coloring (RAC). The Rainbow Antimagic Connection Number (RACN) of a graph G is the smallest number of colors induced by all edge weights under an antimagic labeling, symbolized as rac(G) A graph is said to have rainbow antimagic connectivity if for every pir of vetices x∈V(G), there exits a rainbow antimagic path, wherin all edge weights along the path are distinct. Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A bijective function f from V(G) to {1,2,…,|V(G)|} is applied, wherein the weight of the edge uv∈E(G) is defined as w(uv) under f which is obtained from w(xv)=f(x)+f(v). A rainbow path x-v is a path in a vertex-labeled graph G if for any two edges xv,x' v'∈E(P) the path satisfies w(xv)≠w(x'v'). If there is a rainbow x-v path P for every two vertices x,v∈V(G) then the function f is called a rainbow antimagic labeling of G. A graph G we say has an RAC, if we assign each edge xv with an edge weight color w(xv). In this paper, we present the RACN of the comb product of cycle C_3 with path P_n and broom Br_(n,m) symbolized by C_3⊳ P_n and C_3⊳Br_(n,m). A comb operation on a graph G, symbolized as G⊳H, is a graph product wherein each vertex of G is replaced by a copy of H, maintaining the structure of G. This operation helps construct new classes of graphs with specific connectivity and labeling properties.

Abstract

Critical thinking is an advanced thinking skill that requires students to think rationally and logically. This study aims to describe the critical thinking ability of students. The research was conducted in MAN 1 Malang in class XB, consisting of 32 students. The method used was descriptive qualitative research with three subjects representing high, medium, and low categories of critical thinking skills. The data collection techniques used were tests and interviews. The data analysis technique used was the analysis of test scores and interviews, with a credibility test for data validity. The results showed that high-category subjects were able to fulfill six critical thinking indicators (interpretation, analysis, evaluation, conclusion, explanation, and self-regulation) and could answer in two different ways. Medium-category subjects were able to fulfill the indicators of interpretation, analysis, conclusion, explanation, and self-regulation, although there were less precise answers. Subjects in the low-category did not meet the indicators of critical thinking skills and could only answer in one inappropriate way. Based on these results, teachers can provide open-ended or non-routine problem sets to improve students' critical thinking skills.

Abstract

Amid growing interest in integrating digital tools to enhance student engagement, this study aims to enhance fourth-grade elementary students' interest in learning mathematics by implementing Quizwhizzer as a learning medium. The research employs a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, consisting of two cycles, each comprising two sessions. Each cycle follows the stages of planning, action implementation, and reflection. In the first cycle, questionnaire results indicated that 62.07% of students had low learning interest. However, 96.55% of students demonstrated high interest in the second cycle. These findings suggest a significant increase in students’ interest in learning mathematics following using Quizwhizzer. The study concludes that Quizwhizzer is an effective tool for fostering learning interest. Nonetheless, challenges related to time and classroom management were encountered, prompting a recommendation for better planning and management in future implementations.

Abstract

In addition to the theory and implementation, the description of research trends and the direction of development of mathematical mindset research still needs to be explored. The study aims to find trends and mapping from the mathematical mindset research development. The method used is bibliometric with the help of MS Excel and VosViewer. The metadata is 995 articles indexed by Google Scholar from 2019 to 2025, obtained from Publish or Perish by entering the keyword "mathematical mindset." The results show a sharp decline in post-2020 publications, the most in 2020, as many as 272, but plummeting to 3 in early 2025. This decline occurred due to policy changes after the pandemic, reallocating funding to digital learning, and competition for research priorities. Boaler's book related to Mathematical Mindset 2022 became the publication with the most citations (2329). The VOSviewer analysis results identified four main clusters, with the mathematical mindset being in cluster three. In addition, it found the potential for a weak connection with technological terms, which could be a new research direction. The results of this study provide optimism and opportunities for mathematical mindset research to be more associated with other terms that can be connected, especially in mathematics education research.
