Abstract

This study aims to develop an interactive learning media based on e-learning using Google Sites with the Tri-N approach (Niteni, Nirokake, Nambahi) to enhance students' learning motivation in the Statistics material for eighth-grade junior high school students. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using the 4D development model, consisting of the Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate stages. Data were collected through initial needs observation and product validation by media and material experts. The product developed is an interactive e-learning media containing teaching materials, instructional videos, practice exercises, and assessments based on the Kurikulum Merdeka. This media is designed to facilitate students' learning activities through the stages of Niteni, Nirokake, and Nambahi, with the expectation of encouraging active participation in the learning process. Due to time limitations, this research was conducted only up to the expert validation stage; practicality and effectiveness tests were not carried out. The validation results indicate that the Tri-N-based e-learning media is suitable for use in Statistics learning. In the future, this media has the potential to be further developed for other materials and educational levels as an innovative digital learning alternative for teachers and students.

Abstract

One of the efforts to improve mathematical literacy is through differentiated and STEAM-based learning. This study aims to develop learning tools (teaching modules, LKPD, manuals and test packages) on comparison materials to improve students' mathematical literacy. This research uses the 4D model with the stages of defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. Data were collected through interviews, literature studies, observations, questionnaires, and tests. The teaching module design applies EDP for 6 JP and LKPD that facilitates process and content differentiated learning. The results of the development stage showed that the learning tools met the criteria: validity with a valid category (at least 3 on a scale of 4); practicality criteria with 87.74% of students active, and 3.68 (maximum scale of 4) learning implemented, as well as 71.67% of positive student responses; effectiveness with 79.2% of students complete learning and N-Gain 0.48 for mathematical literacy improvement. This study recommends that teachers accommodate students' learning needs and activate the classroom atmosphere using the learning tools that have been developed.

Abstract

This quantitative study examined the relationship between students' learning styles and technology use in math learning. Although digital tools are increasingly integrated into schools, many still overlook students diverse learning styles and their interaction with technology. Prior research often addresses learning styles or technology acceptance separately, with few examining both together, especially in secondary education. This study used a one-time survey involving 1.029 Indonesian students from middle schools, high schools, and vocational schools. Learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) were measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire. Technology acceptance was assessed through performance expectations, attitudes, perceived usefulness, and e-learning suitability. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS. Results show that attitudes toward technology significantly affect perceived ease of use, e-learning suitability, and performance expectations. These factors influence learning preferences both directly and indirectly. The findings support the technology acceptance model and show its relevance in improving digital-based math learning across Indonesia’s secondary education context.

Abstract

This study examined the conceptual understanding of South African pre-service teachers regarding the Highest Common Factor (HCF) and Lowest Common Multiple (LCM), with a focus on errors and misconceptions that affect problem-solving. There is a paucity of research that specifically analyses how pre-service teachers’ misconceptions about HCF and LCM contribute to problem-solving errors in foundational mathematics. This study is grounded in two complementary theoretical perspectives: the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) framework and the Conceptual–Procedural Knowledge Theory. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative data were analysed using one-sample t-tests and Pearson’s correlation, and qualitative data were supported by error analysis. The three hypotheses were tested. Results showed a significant difference in understanding (t = 25.685, p < 0.001), leading to the rejection of the first hypothesis. A moderate negative correlation (r = -0.48, p < 0.001) between misconceptions and accuracy led to the rejection of the second hypothesis. The third hypothesis was not rejected, as no strong correlation was found between strategy use and conceptual errors (r = -0.12, p = 0.425). Findings highlight gaps in conceptual understanding and emphasise the need for conceptually focused instruction, diagnostic assessments, and real-life applications in teacher education programmes.

Abstract

This study aims to explore and describe the manifestation of ethnomathematics concepts and cultural values contained in the rice farming activities of the Madurese community in Bangkalan and Pamekasan Regencies. This study uses a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design. Data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews with farmers and farm laborers. Data analysis was conducted interactively using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with triangulation techniques as a guarantee of data validity. The research findings indicate the presence of significant mathematical concepts, including counting and calculating activities. Furthermore, the application of the concept of comparison and the system of linear equations and inequalities was found. Culturally, this agricultural activity is based on the tradition of mutual cooperation and a strong philosophy of selfless work, which is reflected in the terms dherrebbhan and urunan. These values are rooted in the principles of equal-average-equal-feeling and equal-high-equal-low, which strengthen social cohesion. This study concludes that integrating ethnomathematics into mathematics instruction in schools can serve as a contextual and cooperative learning tool. This strategy not only helps students understand abstract concepts through agrarian realities but also internalizes the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile based on Madurese local wisdom.

Abstract

This study investigates the gap between technological ubiquity and stagnant mathematical literacy among Indonesian students. The research objective was to identify and analyze specific cognitive hurdles hindering students’ ability to solve contextual, PISA-adapted problems. Utilizing a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved 34 ninth-grade students in Kabupaten Bandung Barat. Subjects for semi-structured interviews were selected via purposive sampling, targeting those demonstrating representative error patterns across high, moderate, and low proficiency tiers. Data were analyzed using Newman’s Error Analysis (NEA) and validated through methodological triangulation. Results revealed that 52.94% of students possess low mathematical literacy, with the most critical barrier being transformation errors (58.36%), followed by comprehension (27.94%) and reading (14.70%). Qualitative findings indicate that these errors stem from three primary factors: contextual unfamiliarity with non-routine tasks, a detrimental dependency on teacher scaffolding, and conceptual deficits in processing decimal notation. The study concludes that students struggle to bridge the gap between narrative contexts and mathematical formalization. To mitigate these barriers, the research recommends the implementation of incremental scaffolding and explicit instructional strategies focusing on linguistic-to-mathematical translation to foster learner autonomy and higher-order thinking skills in the Indonesian educational framework.
