Abstract

This study analyses the links between students' Information and Communication Technology (ICT) abilities, parental role, and learning Independence in North Maluku, an archipelagic region of Indonesia characterized by poor technical infrastructure. By implementing a quantitative, cross-sectional approach, data were collected from 303 high school students using validated measures of ICT abilities, parental involvement, and learning independence. Multiple regression research found that ICT skills and parental role combined account for 44% of the variance in learning independence. ICT abilities emerged as a robust predictor (β = .464, p .001) of learning independence, underlining the essential significance of digital literacy in supporting autonomous learning practices, particularly in technologically impoverished locations. The parental role also revealed a substantial impact (β = .295, p .001), showing the persistent importance of family support in the educational process, especially in technology-enhanced learning contexts. These findings have substantial implications for educational policy and practice in archipelagic and technologically challenged countries, highlighting the necessity for focused ICT skill development programs and attempts to improve parental involvement in technology-mediated learning.

Abstract

The mathematical model of infectious disease spread used in this study is the SEIT (Susceptible Exposed Infective Treatment) type epidemic model with a saturated incidence rate. Optimal treatment control is given to the exposed and infective populations with the same treatment rate with the aim of minimizing the number of infective individuals and treatment costs. By applying the Pontryagin Principle, optimal control and system are obtained. The rate of population change in the model is illustrated by numerical simulations.

Abstract

This research is an experimental study conducted with a population of PGRI 1 Taman Pemalang High School students. The sample consisted of 11th grade students from the odd semester of 2024/2025, selected using cluster random sampling to determine the experimental and control classes. This study aimed to improve students' problem solving skills in algebra in a school environment, focusing on Artificial Intelligence based learning and student independence. The algebra topics covered included linear equations, quadratic equations, polynomials, and systems of linear equations. This research involved two main variables: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and problem-solving ability in algebra. Data was collected using questionnaires, tests, and documentation methods. Data analysis was conducted using a two way ANOVA with factorial interaction in a 2x2 design, supplemented by the Bonferroni test as a post hoc analysis. The results showed that students exposed to Artificial Intelligence-based learning demonstrated significantly higher problem solving ability in algebra compared to students taught with conventional methods. Additionally, students with high independence exhibited better problem-solving ability compared to those with low independence. These findings suggest an interaction effect between Artificial Intelligence based learning and student independence on problem solving ability in algebra. Specifically, students with high independence who underwent Artificial Intelligence based learning achieved the highest problem solving ability compared to all other interaction types. This emphasizes the positive synergistic effect of Artificial Intelligence based learning and student independence in enhancing problem solving ability in algebra.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the development of mathematical representation abilities through PBL. This research approach is quantitative. The population in this study was 150 students in class VII of SMP Negeri 13 Banda Aceh, while the sample was 23 students in class VII-5. The data collec-tion technique was carried out through tests with mathematical representation ability test instru-ments which were carried out after each lesson. The data analysis technique for mathematical rep-resentation abilities is carried out by comparing students' answers to mathematical representation abilities in each lesson based on indicators of mathematical representation abilities, namely visual, symbolic and verbal. The results of the research show that students' mathematical representation abilities develop in various ways. The first indicator of mathematical representation ability is pre-senting data from a problem in the form of pictures, diagrams, graphs or tables. At the first meeting 10 out of 23 students complied, then at the second meeting 13 students met, at the third meeting 16 students complied, and the fourth meeting 20 students complied. The second indicator is solving problems involving mathematical expressions. At the first meeting 9 out of 23 students complied, then at the second meeting 12 students complied, at the third meeting 14 students complied, and at the fourth meeting 19 students complied. The third indicator is processing scientific language at the level of words, phrases and sentences. At the first meeting 12 out of 23 students fulfilled it, then at the second meeting 13 students fulfilled it, at the third meeting 15 out of 23 students fulfilled it, and at the fourth meeting 17 out of 23 students fulfilled the third indicator.

Abstract

The implementation of the STEAM approach in cosmetology learning has now become a necessity. This must be done to answer the needs of SMK Cosmetology graduates who must be ready to become makeup artists who will be faced with client problems and adaptation to rapidly developing beauty technology. In this case, students majoring in cosmetology must be equipped with problem-solving skills, critical thinking and creativity.  Through a thorough literature analysis, the author of this paper investigates the possibilities of introducing STEAM Education to cosmetology majors. While STEAM education has not been implemented in vocational education for cosmetology majors, there are seven articles about its application in vocational education at all levels. From the results of the article review, there is potential for implementing STEAM learning in Vocational Education majoring in Cosmetology because there is Science content in its curriculum structure. In addition, the implementation of STEAM in this major can be combined with a project-based learning model. An embedded approach can be used to execute STEAM education, with science-based content on anatomy and physiology serving as the foundational literacy that is created, with additional competences serving as support.
