Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the effect of scissors on fine motor skills in young children. The cutting activity is designed to train children's fine motor skills, especially their fingers. Motor skills are a person's ability to perform coordinated movements using a combination of different muscle activities. The research method used is quantitative research using a single pre-test and post-test group as the research design. The data analysis technique uses a paired sample t-test, one of the test methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, which characterizes the difference in average values before and after the start of treatment. Based on the research results, in the mandatory test using the normality test and homogeneity test, the sign value for the normality test was 0.200 and the sign value for the homogeneity test was 0.400. In the paired sample test, after the test was carried out, it was found that the sign value was 0.000, where this sign value was less than 0.05, which means that there is a significant influence of cutting activities on the fine motor skills of young children.

Abstract

The lack of students' ability to solve math problems often occurs in various schools, both at the elementary until even high school / vocational level. Through interviews conducted with one of the math teachers at SMK Ibnu Cholil stated that this also happened to class X students. This is due to the lack of use of facilities such as learning media during the learning process and the learning model applied still uses the guided inquiry model at each meeting, resulting in students becoming bored. The purpose of this study is to prove whether the STAD assisted by Trigonometric Finger Board Props can help students solve math problems or not. The experimental research used in this research is True Experimental Design with the form of Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design, this test is carried out twice, namely before research (Pretest) and after research (Posttest). The application of the STAD type cooperative learning model assisted by trigonometric fingerboard props can help students in problem solving. This can be seen from the students' learning outcomes in the form of pretest and posttest which experienced a significant increase at α = 0.000 than students who received conventional learning models.

Abstract

Group homomorphism, a complex topic in the Algebra Structure 1 course at Universitas PGRI Adi Buana Surabaya, requires high-level thinking, creativity, and the integration of ideas. Metacognition plays an important role in helping students have the problem-posing process, which includes understanding, translating, editing, and selecting information. This study aimed to analyze the metacognitive processes of students with low and high abilities in creating problems related to group homomorphism. The findings show that 83.33% of low-ability students operate at the tacit use level, where they do not consciously consider their decisions or thinking processes. In contrast, high-ability students obtained 100% of the reflective use level during the planning and monitoring stages, meaning that they have reflected thought processes before, during, and after problem-posing, while also identifying improvements and next steps. Furthermore, 100% of high-ability students achieve the strategic use level in the evaluation stage, showing their ability to consciously regulate their thought processes and apply targeted strategies to improve the accuracy of their evaluations when creating problems related to group homomorphism.

Abstract

Self-confidence plays a significant role in students' academic performance, particularly in subjects such as mathematics, which can be challenging for many. Previous studies suggest that students who feel more confident in their abilities tend to perform better, as they are more likely to engage with the material, approach problems positively, and persist through difficulties. However, the relationship between self-confidence and academic achievement, especially in mathematics, remains inconclusive, with some studies reporting strong correlations and others finding minimal impact. This study aims to explore the levels of self-confidence among Class X Science students and examine how it relates to their mathematics exam scores. Using an Ex Post Facto method, 173 students were selected through purposive sampling. Descriptive analysis showed an average exam score of 73.28, with significant variation in student performance. Pearson correlation results indicated a low positive correlation between self-confidence and mathematics exam scores, though it was not statistically significant at the 0.05 level. The coefficient of determination (R Square) of 4.2% suggests that self-confidence contributes only slightly to the variance in mathematics results. In conclusion, while many students exhibit high self-confidence and perform reasonably well in mathematics, its impact on their academic performance is limited. Further research with a larger sample size and additional factors is recommended to gain a deeper understanding of this relationship
