Abstract

Air quality in Western Java is highly dynamic and shaped by environmental changes influenced by intense human activities. Aerosols—tiny particulate matter that affects air quality, weather, and climate—can be quantified using Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), which measures aerosol concentrations in the atmospheric column. This research uses spatial regression analysis to examine the spatial distribution of AOD from GEE’s platform (Google Earth Engine) and its relationship with rainfall and wind patterns during both the wet and dry seasons. The findings indicate that wind speed does not significantly impact AOD values, but wind direction does affect the distribution of rainfall and AOD, likely due to the monsoon system. During the wet season (December to March), high-intensity and widespread rainfall effectively cleanses the atmosphere of aerosols, leading to no significant effect on AOD (p-value > 0.05). In contrast, during the dry season, rainfall significantly influences AOD spatial patterns (p-value < 0.05). These results highlight the intricate interplay between meteorological factors and aerosol’s behavior, emphasizing the seasonal variability in their interactions.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of GeoGebra-assisted collaborative learning on students' understanding of function graphs. Function graphs are fundamental in mathematics education, yet many students struggle to grasp the relationships between variables, primarily due to traditional teaching methods that focus on procedural skills rather than conceptual understanding. To address this challenge, the study incorporates GeoGebra, a dynamic mathematics software, alongside collaborative learning strategies. The research utilizes a quasi-experimental design involving high school students who had previously struggled with function graphs. The results demonstrate that the experimental group, which engaged in GeoGebra-assisted collaborative learning, showed a significant improvement of 27% in their post-test scores, compared to just a 6% improvement in the control group using traditional methods. The study highlights the effectiveness of GeoGebra in fostering a deeper conceptual understanding of mathematical functions by enabling students to visualize and manipulate graphs interactively. Additionally, collaborative learning encouraged peer interaction, reinforcing the learning process and promoting better problem-solving skills. The findings suggest that combining interactive tools like GeoGebra with collaborative learning techniques can enhance students’ mathematical comprehension, leading to improved engagement and performance in mathematics education.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of contextual problem-solving on students' mathematical reasoning abilities, comparing it to traditional problem-solving exercises. The study employs a quasi-experimental design with two groups: an experimental group exposed to contextual problem-solving activities and a control group using conventional methods. The experimental group demonstrated a 24% improvement in their mathematical reasoning abilities compared to the control group. Contextual problem-solving, which integrates real-world problems into the learning process, was found to be more engaging and effective in promoting deeper understanding and application of mathematical concepts. The study highlights the benefits of contextual learning in making abstract mathematical concepts more tangible and relatable to students. The findings suggest that by connecting mathematical knowledge to real-world scenarios, students develop stronger reasoning skills and improve their problem-solving capabilities. Moreover, the study recommends incorporating more contextual problem-solving exercises into curricula and providing teachers with training on how to implement these strategies effectively. It also suggests that future research explore the long-term effects of contextual problem-solving on other learning areas, such as critical thinking and creative problem-solving. This approach not only enhances students' mathematical reasoning but also fosters a more engaging and meaningful learning environment, thus preparing students to apply their mathematical knowledge in real-life situations.
