Abstract

The mathematical creative thinking skill is crucial in learning mathematics. However, the problem encountered in learning mathematics in class VII-B at SMP (Junior High School) Wahid Hasyim Malang was that the teacher did not involve students in exploring and providing opportunities to improve mathematical creative thinking skills. In overcoming this problem, the researcher applied the Jucama learning model assisted by tangram media on plane figure material. This research design was Classroom Action Research (CAR) which consisted of (1) Planning, (2) Implementation, (3) Observation, and (4) Reflection. The research subjects were 30 students in class VII-B SMP Wahid Hasyim. Data was collected through teacher and student activity observations, end-of-cycle test results, and questionnaires. This research was conducted in two cycles, with two meetings. The results indicated an increase in the percentage of observations of teacher and student activities, end-of-cycle test results, and questionnaire results. The results of observations of teacher activities in cycle I reached an average percentage of 75%, while in cycle II, it increased to 86.875%. The results of observing student activities in the first cycle reached a percentage of 73.125%, while in the second cycle, it increased to 85.75%. The end-of-cycle I test results showed that the completeness of student learning outcomes attained 63.33% with an average class score of 72. In comparison, the completeness of student learning outcomes in cycle II increased to 86.67%, with an average class score of 83.47. The results of the questionnaire in cycle I indicated that the percentage of success reached 46.67%, while in cycle II, the questionnaire results increased, with the percentage of success attaining 83.33%.

Abstract

This research explores a new paradigm in Islamic educational thought regarding the integration of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The primary focus is on bridging the dichotomy between religious and secular sciences through an integrative approach grounded in the concept of tauhid (the oneness of God). Through this integration, STEM is seen as a means to comprehend the Ayat Kauniyah (signs of God in the universe), thereby positioning STEM learning as both an act of worship and a means of exploring God’s creation. The study also examines the implementation of the I-STEM model developed in Malaysia, which incorporates Islamic principles into STEM education. Although this paradigm shows great potential, significant challenges exist in its implementation, including gaps between philosophical conceptualization and practical application, as well as cultural resistance within certain communities. To address these challenges, initiatives such as the development of contextual teaching materials and teacher training programs have been introduced. The research underscores the importance of developing a STEM curriculum aligned with Islamic ethical values and highlights the contribution of STEM-Islam in character building and social ethics. Thus, integrating STEM into Islamic education can serve as a catalyst for scientific revival in the Muslim world without compromising its religious identity.

Abstract

Learning mathematics in primary schools often faces challenges in making abstract concepts easier for students to understand. One approach that can address this challenge is ethnomathematics, which integrates elements of local culture into mathematics learning. This research aims to explore how ethnomathematics can be used to improve mathematical communication understanding in primary school students. The research method used is to use a literature review of various sources that examine the importance of training primary school children's communication in mathematics. Ethnomathematics can improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts through a cultural context that is familiar to them. This approach is also effective in training mathematical communication, where students learn to explain their thought processes, discuss with peers, and solve mathematical problems collaboratively. Students who learnt with the ethnomathematics approach showed improved mathematical communication skills, both orally and in writing. The importance of applying ethnomathematics lies in its ability to make mathematics more interesting and meaningful to students, thus increasing their motivation and active participation in learning. In addition, ethnomathematics also encourages the development of critical and creative thinking skills, which are essential in mathematical communication. Although its implementation requires teacher creativity and preparedness, these findings confirm that ethnomathematics is an important and effective approach in mathematics education in primary schools.
