Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze the effect of variations in the size of the venturimeter neck on the velocity coefficient and pressure drop using a numerical simulation method. Methodology: The method used in this study is numerical simulation using SolidWorks 2014 software. The simulated venturimeter model has a neck length variation of 20 mm and 30 mm, with a throat diameter of 10 mm. The fluid used is water with a temperature of 25°C, and the simulation is carried out in the Reynolds number (Re) range of 1000 to 5000. Main Findings: The results of the study showed that the greater the velocity of the incoming fluid, the Reynolds number, flow rate, and pressure drop also increased. In addition, the difference in the length of the venturimeter neck affects the pressure drop, where the venturimeter with a longer neck experiences a greater pressure drop due to the longer duration of the fluid flow. The resulting velocity coefficient is also influenced by the velocity of the incoming fluid, where the higher the velocity, the greater the flow rate value. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty in this research lies in the numerical approach in analyzing the relationship between the venturimeter neck size and the velocity coefficient and pressure drop. This approach allows faster and more efficient calculations compared to conventional experimental methods, thus contributing to the development of more accurate and applicable fluid flow measurement techniques.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze students' computational thinking abilities in solving combinatorial problems based on high, medium, and low ability categories. Methodology: This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with subjects of 33 students of class VIII I State Islamic Junior High School 2 Bondowoso. Data were collected through written tests, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model (reduction, presentation, conclusion) with triangulation techniques for validation, comparing test results, interviews, and documentation. Main Findings: Students with high and medium computational abilities are able to meet all indicators of computational thinking, including identifying and understanding problems, and converting them into combinatorics. Meanwhile, students with low abilities have difficulty in re-understanding the problems found. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides new insights into how students' level of computational thinking ability influences their success in solving combinatorial problems, as well as offers perspectives in developing more effective learning strategies to enhance students' computational thinking ability.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of critical thinking skills on students' mathematical problem solving based on the TIMSS framework. Methodology: This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational survey design. The population of the study was junior high school students with a sample of 200 students selected by random sampling. Data collection used the Critical Thinking Ability Test and the Mathematics Problem Solving Test based on TIMSS. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation tests, and simple linear regression using SPSS. Validity tests used content and construction tests, and reliability was tested with Cronbach's Alpha (0.745). Main Findings: The results of this study indicate a significant positive relationship between students' critical thinking skills and mathematical problem solving. The average score of critical thinking skills and mathematical problem solving is in the moderate category. The evaluation indicator has the highest score, while inference and synthesis have the lowest scores. The results of the Pearson correlation test showed a moderate relationship (r = 0.550), and the simple linear regression test showed that critical thinking skills significantly affect mathematical problem solving (R² = 0.303, p < 0.05). Novelty/Originality of this study: This study offers a fresh perspective by examining students’ critical thinking skills within the context of mathematical problem-solving using the TIMSS framework. The results enhance existing literature by demonstrating a strong link between critical thinking and effective problem-solving.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using combinatorial game theory in discrete mathematics learning to improve students' understanding and interest in learning. Methodology: Using the Mixed Methods approach, quantitative data were collected through a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group, while qualitative data were obtained through interviews and observations. The sample consisted of 60 grade XI students divided into experimental and control classes. Main Findings: The results of the analysis showed that the average gain score of students' conceptual understanding in the experimental class (0.68) was significantly higher than the control class (0.32) with a t-test significance value of 0.001 (p < 0.05). In addition, the motivation questionnaire showed an increase in the average score from 2.9 to 4.1 on a Likert scale of 1–5. Novelty/Originality of this study: Qualitative findings reinforce that game-based strategies encourage active participation, collaboration, and positive perceptions toward discrete mathematical theory.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The aim of this research is to improve mathematics learning outcomes by using image media for angle measurement material for fourth grade elementary school students. Methodology: This classroom action research used observation sheets, essay-type achievement tests, lesson plans, and image-based learning media. The method used followed two cycles of Classroom Action Research (planning, action, observation, and reflection). 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.
