Abstract

Mathematics instruction at the elementary school level requires meaningful conceptual understanding so that students are not only able to memorize formulas but also apply mathematical concepts in their daily lives. One topic that demands deep conceptual comprehension is the concept of ratio. However, various studies indicate that elementary school students still experience difficulties in understanding the concepts of ratio and scale. This study aims to review research findings and relevant literature related to the embedding of ratio concepts in elementary mathematics learning. The method employed is a literature review, examining scientific journals, conference proceedings, and relevant books. The results of the review show that students’ difficulties are influenced by their cognitive developmental characteristics, as they are at the concrete operational stage, by instructional practices that remain abstract, and by the limited application of contextual learning approaches. Furthermore, the teacher’s role as a facilitator and provider of scaffolding, the use of appropriate instructional strategies, and the integration of ratio concepts with real-life contexts play an important role in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding. Meaningful mathematics learning is therefore key to embedding ratio concepts in a comprehensive and sustainable manner among elementary school students.

Abstract

The digital era requires education systems to innovate curricula that are adaptive, relevant, and oriented toward learners’ needs in order to optimally develop 21st-century competencies. This study aims to analyze the concept of learner-needs-based curriculum innovation, its forms of implementation in digital learning processes, as well as the challenges and opportunities faced by educational institutions. This research employs a literature review approach by examining national and international journal articles published within the last five years that discuss personalized learning, educational technology integration, and the strengthening of students’ digital competencies. The findings indicate that curriculum innovation in the digital era does not merely emphasize technological integration, but also involves the recontextualization of learning objectives, content, and strategies to align with students’ characteristics, interests, and learning styles. Needs-based curricula have been shown to promote more participatory, collaborative, and meaningful learning through differentiation, project-based learning, and the use of digital platforms. Nevertheless, its implementation is still constrained by teachers’ limited digital literacy, infrastructure readiness, and disparities in technological access. This study concludes that curriculum innovation must be supported by continuous teacher capacity development, sustainable institutional policies, and collaboration among schools, government, and the wider community to build an inclusive digital learning ecosystem that is responsive to learners’ needs.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the ethnomathematical concept embedded in the decorative patterns of Balinese Endek woven fabric through an analysis of its motifs, production processes, and the mathematical meanings represented by the artisans. The research employed a qualitative ethnographic approach conducted at Endek Sekar Jepun in Denpasar. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation of motifs and weaving processes using traditional non-machine looms (ATBM). The results show that Endek decorative patterns are composed of basic geometric shapes such as rhombuses, triangles, squares, and organic curves resembling bamboo shoots. These motifs apply mathematical concepts including symmetry, pattern repetition, proportion, and scale, which reflect order, balance, and the symbolic meanings of Balinese culture. The artisans’ weaving practices demonstrate intuitive applications of mathematical principles, serving as concrete examples of ethnomathematical practice. These findings have implications for culturally grounded mathematics education, the development of contextual learning materials, and the preservation of Balinese cultural heritage through systematic documentation of Endek motifs
