Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe student's ability to explain the concept of solid figure's volume reviewed from visualizer-verbalizer cognitive style using the Cognitive Style Test developed by Mendelson Thorson. This study used a qualitative approach and the data collection technique was carried out by giving tests about the concept of  solid figure's volume and interviews. The indicators used to measure students' ability to explain the concept of solid figure's volume are, (1) Providing information in accordance with mathematical concepts (2) Information systematically organized with the aim of showing a mathematical relationship (3) using and selecting procedures or operations certain exactly. The results showed that both visualizer subjects (SV) and verbalizer subjects (SB) were only able to fulfill the first indicator in explaining the concept, both of them just can mention the formula of pyramid's volume. Meanwhile, to explain the concept of ball's volume, SV does not meet the third indicator, SV did not use the right mathematical procedures or operations. Both subjects showed characteristics that matched their cognitive style, namely SV was more flexible in providing explanations through pictures and SB preferred to make explanations in the form of descriptions.

Abstract

This study aims to describe mathematical reasoning abilities in terms of student motivation in class VIII SMP Negeri Satap 1 Lambandia. This type of research is qualitative. The subjects of this study consisted of 20 students of class VIII SMP Negeri Satap 1 Lambandia. The instrument used is a mathematical reasoning ability test consisting of 4 questions, a learning motivation questionnaire consisting of 16 statements, and interview guidelines. The results showed that; 1) The average mathematical reasoning ability of students is 40.78 which is in the fairly low category. Many students who have a high level of ability score is 1 (5%), students with a moderately low ability score of 10 (50%), and many students who have a low ability score are 9 (45%); 2) The number of students with high levels of learning motivation is 7 students (35%), moderate learning motivation is 5 students (25%), and low learning motivation is 8 (40%); 3) Students with high learning motivation have the highest average ability with an average score of 48.66 with quite low criteria, followed by students with moderate and low learning motivation with scores of 40 and 35.15, both of which are in the criteria low. Subjects with high learning motivation are generally able to understand 3 indicators of mathematical reasoning, namely using patterns and relationships to analyze mathematically, estimate the completion process and develop valid arguments using systematic steps. Subjects with moderate and low learning motivation were only able to understand 3 indicators, namely using patterns and relationships to analyze mathematically, estimate the completion process and develop valid arguments using systematic steps. So it can be said that high, medium and low learning motivation has the same level of reasoning ability, namely in the low category.

Abstract

The integration of digital content in mathematics learning has become increasingly important to improve students’ engagement and conceptual understanding. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using ALEF Education content on students’ mathematical understanding of exponents at SMP Negeri 1 Kolaka. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design (post-test only control group), involving 48 eighth-grade students divided into an experimental and a control class. The experimental group learned using ALEF Education content integrated into classroom instruction, while the control group received conventional lessons without digital media. Data were collected through observations of teacher and student activities, as well as a mathematical comprehension test. The results showed that both teacher and student activities in the experimental class were higher (teachers: 84%; students: 80%) than in the control class (teachers: 81%; students: 72%). Students in the experimental group also achieved higher post-test scores (M = 19.54) than those in the control group (M = 19.48), and statistical analysis confirmed that the difference was significant at the 0.05 level. These findings indicate that ALEF Education content effectively improves students’ mathematical understanding and engagement in learning exponents. Integrating interactive and adaptive digital content into mathematics learning can thus serve as an innovative alternative to achieve meaningful and technology-enhanced learning outcomes in the 21st-century classroom.

Abstract

Mathematical problem-solving is a crucial competence that enables students to think critically and creatively in facing real-life challenges. However, mathematics learning often lacks meaningful connections to students’ cultural contexts. This study integrates local wisdom from the Tolaki Mekongga community as a culturally relevant approach to strengthen students’ understanding of mathematical concepts. The study aims to describe and analyze junior high school students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities through ethnomathematics-based problems derived from Tolaki Mekongga traditions. This research employed a descriptive qualitative design involving 32 eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 2 Kolaka. Data were collected through problem-solving tests and interviews, then analyzed according to Polya’s four stages: understanding, planning, implementing, and reviewing the solution. The findings revealed that most students demonstrated moderate to high levels of problem-solving ability. High-ability students could relate mathematical concepts to local cultural contexts, while low-ability students struggled to interpret contextual information and apply appropriate strategies. The study concludes that incorporating problems based on local wisdom enhances students’ engagement and conceptual understanding. Integrating cultural contexts such as Tolaki Mekongga traditions can serve as an effective ethnomathematical approach for improving mathematical problem-solving skills and fostering culturally responsive mathematics learning.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the level of students' understanding of mathematical concepts in exponents and logarithms based on APOS theory at SMA Negeri 4 Binongko. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The research subjects consisted of three tenth-grade students selected based on high, medium, and low ability levels. Data were obtained through competency tests and in-depth interviews, then analyzed based on the four stages of the APOS theory, namely action, process, object, and schema. The results showed that students with high ability had reached the schema stage, students with medium ability were at the object stage, and students with low ability were at the process stage. This indicates that there are differences in the level of conceptual understanding among students according to their respective abilities. Thus, the application of the APOS theory proved to be effective in identifying and mapping students' mathematical understanding of exponents and logarithms. These findings indicate that the APOS theory can be used as a basis for designing learning that encourages the development of students' conceptual understanding in mathematics.
