Data were collected through student achievement tests and then analyzed descriptively using percentage calculations without special software. Main Findings: The use of image-based learning media improved mathematics learning outcomes of fourth-grade students. Classical mastery increased from 25% in the pre-action stage to 50% in Cycle I, showing a 25% improvement. In Cycle II, classical mastery reached 83.3%, indicating a further increase of 33.3% and exceeding the minimum mastery criterion of 75%. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers novelty by systematically applying image-based learning media within a classroom action research framework to improve elementary students’ understanding of angle measurement. It provides practical evidence of step-by-step improvement across cycles, enriching empirical knowledge on effective visual media integration in primary mathematics learning.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The aim of this research is to improve students' learning outcomes in Mathematics by using the Problem Solving method. Methodology: The research conducted used Classroom Action Research. Data were obtained from qualitative and quantitative data. Data collection techniques included observation, testing, documentation, and interviews. The data analysis method used both qualitative and quantitative data. Main Findings: Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that, after using the Problem Solving method, student learning outcomes have increased. This can be seen from the results of the pre-test and post-test given to students, which always increased in each cycle. The increase in student learning outcomes in cycle 1 was 71.88% and in cycle II 87.10%. There was an increase in the completeness of student learning outcomes by 5.31%. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces a structured problem-solving instructional model implemented through classroom action research to regularly improve students' mathematics learning outcomes. Unlike previous studies, it integrates iterative reflection cycles with authentic classroom problems, providing practical evidence on how problem-solving instruction directly enhances students' engagement, conceptual understanding, and achievement.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the Realistic Mathematics Education approach had an influence on students' mathematics learning outcomes. Methodology: This study is a quasi-experimental study using a nonequivalent control group design consisting of 38 students in the experimental class and 35 students in the control class with a purposive sampling technique. The data collection technique used was a pretest and posttest. Main Findings: The student learning outcomes test after being given treatment was analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. The results showed a difference between the mathematics learning outcomes of students in the experimental class and students in the control class with tcount > ttable (tcount = 1.91; ttable = 1.666). Based on this, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the Realistic Mathematics Education approach on student learning outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the Realistic Mathematics Education approach through a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design at the classroom level. This study expands existing knowledge by demonstrating measurable differences in learning outcomes using pre-test and post-test analyses, thus strengthening the practical evidence base for implementing Realistic Mathematics Education in real-world learning environments.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to identify ethnomathematical concepts in rebana art related to one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional geometry, arithmetic sequences, and integer operations. Furthermore, this study also seeks to test the potential of rebana art as a source of mathematics learning for junior high school students. Methodology: The data obtained were qualitative, while the sources were obtained from observations, interviews, and documentation related to the Rebana Art. The instrument in this study was the researcher herself. The tools used were interview guidelines, observations, and documentation. Data validity techniques were carried out through triangulation through checking method triangulation, source triangulation, and time triangulation, with the data analyzed descriptively qualitatively. Main Findings: The findings show that rebana art contains ethnomathematic concepts related to one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional geometry through measurement activities, including angles, circles, rectangles, cylinders, and cones. The concept of arithmetic sequences is identified in Qasidah rebana, while integer operations appear in Hadrah rebana performances. Furthermore, rebana art can be aligned with the curriculum as a source of mathematics learning for Grades VII, VIII, and IX. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a new contribution by systematically mapping specific mathematical topics across different types of tambourine arts and explicitly aligning them with lower secondary school curriculum levels. This study advances ethnomathematics research by showing how local musical traditions can be transformed into structured mathematical learning resources grounded in formal curriculum standards.
