Abstract

The low level of Indonesian students' mathematical literacy remains a major challenge in education, as reflected in various national and international assessment results such as PISA. One effort that can be made to improve students' mathematical literacy is through the implementation of appropriate learning models. This study aims to analyze learning models that have been proven effective in improving students' mathematical literacy skills. The method used is Systematic Literature Review with six stages: formulating research questions, establishing selection criteria, developing a search strategy, study selection, quality assessment, and synthesis of results. Literature search was conducted using the Publish or Perish application based on Google Scholar with a range of years 2016–2026. From the initial 200 articles, 17 articles met the inclusion criteria and passed the Quality Assessment stage. The results show that the most widely used learning models that are proven effective in improving students' mathematical literacy include: Problem Based Learning, Project Based Learning, Discovery Learning, Realistic Mathematics Education, Learning Cycle 7E, inquiry model with scaffolding, Group Investigation, Collaborative Learning, and Accelerated Learning Cycle. These models are effective because they encourage active student involvement, contextualization of real problems, and development of critical thinking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to validate the effect of EPBL in reducing students' cognitive load in solving complex mathematical problems. It also examines the impact of EPBL implementation on students learning process. This study uses a mixed-method approach with a concurrent  triangulation design. The subjects of this study were one 8th-grade class at SMP Negeri 14 Kota Serang, consisting of  36 students. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired t-test statistics, while qualitative data obtained through semi-structured interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results showed that the implementation of EPBL significantly improved students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. The average score increased from 47.50 in the pretest to 76.39 in the posttest, with an effect size of 1.011, which is considered large. The results also showed a significant decrease in students' cognitive load, with the average score decreasing from 50.25 to 17.00 and an effect size of 2.269, which is considered very large. Qualitative findings support these results through two main themes: ease of understanding the material and learning comfort. Students stated that the use of worked examples helped them understand concepts and problem-solving procedures more effectively, while the structured learning process created a more comfortable learning atmosphere. The findings of this study indicate that EPBL contributes to improving mathematical problem-solving skills while helping reduce students' cognitive load in solving complex mathematical problems. This study provides empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of integrating worked examples and problem-solving activities as a mathematics learning strategy that supports students' cognitive load management.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the abstraction process of ninth-grade students in solving polyhedral geometry problems, as viewed from the perspective of learning styles based on the RBC+C model. This study employs a qualitative approach, in the form of a description of the abstraction process of ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 14 Palu. The research subjects consisted of three ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 14 Palu who were selected using purposive sampling based on the results of a learning style questionnaire (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic). Data collection began with the distribution of the learning style questionnaire, followed by a written test consisting of polyhedral geometry problems involving cuboids and cubes to measure RBC+C epistemic actions, as well as semi-structured interviews to explore the students’ responses in greater depth. The research findings indicate that all three subjects were able to complete the cognitive activity stages of the RBC+C model, though with varying characteristics and levels of success. Two subjects successfully reached a stable Consolidation stage, while the other subject demonstrated only very limited progress. The dominant thinking barriers occurred during the Building-with stage, taking the form of algebraic misconceptions when reversing formulas and manipulating the notation of mathematical operations. These findings provide insights for educators in understanding the diversity of students’ learning styles and anticipating their cognitive obstacles when designing geometry instruction.

Abstract

 This study developed an interactive electronic student worksheet (E-LKPD) based on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to enhance Grade X students' mathematical literacy on arithmetic sequences and series and evaluated its validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The study employed research and development using the ADDIE model. Three material experts and three media experts assessed product validity, two mathematics teachers and 36 students assessed practicality, and 36 students completed mathematical-literacy pretests and posttests. Material validity covered content eligibility, presentation, and language, whereas media validity covered visual design, technical quality, and alignment with learning. Practicality was examined through teacher ratings of learning design, visual communication, and benefits and student ratings of cognitive, affective, and conative responses. The product achieved material- and media-validity scores of 98% and 93%, respectively. Teacher and student practicality scores were 90% (very practical) and 79% (practical). The mean mathematical-literacy score increased from 30.58 to 78.36, with an N-Gain of 0.69 (moderate) and a significant paired-samples t-test result (p .001). Therefore, the interactive PBL-based E-LKPD is valid, practical, and effective for supporting mathematical literacy on arithmetic sequences and series.

Abstract

Students’ reliance on routine procedures and difficulties in understanding abstract geometric concepts highlight the need for instructional designs that support mathematical reasoning. This study aims to construct a worked example design framework that facilitates students’ transition from procedural understanding to mathematical reasoning in learning circles. The study employs a design and development research approach by adapting the Analysis, Design, and Development phases of the ADDIE model. the proposed worked example prototype was validated by two mathematics education experts using an expert validation sheet covering the aspects of material, construction, and language. The design integrates principles of Cognitive Load Theory and indicators of mathematical reasoning to produce a worked example prototype. The development process resulted in a worked example prototype that was validated by two mathematics education experts and deemed feasible for use after revisions. The prototype integrates Cognitive Load Theory principles and mathematical reasoning indicators to support students in recognizing patterns, formulating conjectures, and constructing logical arguments. This is achieved through an integrated presentation that minimizes extraneous cognitive load and the use of self-explanation prompts to encourage active cognitive processing. In addition, structured solution steps and paired problems are used as fading guidance to support the transition from guided learning to independent problem solving. Therefore, this study provides a worked example prototype that can serve as a reference for designing instructional materials to support mathematical reasoning in geometry learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of integrating GeoGebra into the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on students' conceptual understanding and mathematical disposition in learning circle geometry. A quasi-experimental design employing a pretest–posttest non-equivalent control group design was used. The study was conducted at a public junior high school in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, involving two eighth-grade classes: an experimental class (n = 33) that received RME instruction integrated with GeoGebra, and a control class (n = 33) that received RME instruction without GeoGebra. The research instruments consisted of a conceptual understanding test and a mathematical disposition questionnaire, both of which were validated and demonstrated satisfactory reliability. The results revealed that integrating GeoGebra into the RME approach had a significant effect on students' conceptual understanding and mathematical disposition. Furthermore, students in the experimental class outperformed those in the control class in both conceptual understanding and mathematical disposition. These findings indicate that integrating GeoGebra into the RME approach is effective in strengthening students' conceptual understanding and mathematical disposition in learning circle geometry.
