Abstract

This study aims to develop an automated system for generating derivative function questions to enhance learning and assessment in calculus education. The system uses a rule-based algorithmic approach to generate questions covering various derivative rules, including constant, power, sum, difference, product, quotient, and chain rules, with randomly generated coefficients and exponents. The system's performance was evaluated by measuring the accuracy of the generated questions, achieving a validity rate of 95.63%, and execution time, with an average of 0.00115 milliseconds per question, indicating high efficiency and effectiveness. The results show that the system successfully generates valid questions across various derivative rules, offering significant contributions to both students and educators in the context of calculus education. The system can be further developed by adding additional derivative rules and integrated into larger educational platforms to support a more comprehensive learning experience.

Abstract

Students entering vocational higher education often have different secondary educational backgrounds, which are commonly assumed to influence their academic achievement. This study examined whether educational background affects learning outcomes when students learn competencies that are relatively new to all learners. A quantitative causal-comparative (ex post facto) design was employed involving 83 undergraduate students enrolled in the Fashion Education Study Program who had completed the Fabric Construction Techniques course. Participants were classified into graduates of SMK Fashion (n = 32) and graduates of senior high schools (SMA) or non-fashion vocational high schools (n = 51). Learning outcomes were analysed using descriptive statistics and an independent-samples t-test. Students from SMK Fashion achieved a slightly higher mean score than the comparison group (83.47 vs. 82.45), but the difference was not statistically significant, t(81) = 0.793, p = .430, with a small effect size (d = 0.18). These findings indicate that secondary educational background explained little variation in learning outcomes. The study suggests that academic performance in vocational higher education depends less on school type than on the alignment between prior learning experiences and university competencies. The findings highlight competency alignment as an important explanation of learning outcomes in vocational higher education.

Abstract

Learning strategies that are focused not just on academic success but also on the development of social attitudes—particularly tolerance in the setting of a heterogeneous society—are required by inclusive education. The purpose of this study is to examine how collaborative learning in inclusive education helps students at the Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontordevelop attitudes of tolerance. This study combined a case study design with a qualitative methodology. Students, instructors, and caregivers at Islamic boarding schools participated in semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and documentation to gather data. Thematic analysis approaches were used to analyze the data. The study's findings show that regular use of collaborative learning techniques fosters an inclusive and engaging environment for social interaction in both the Islamic boarding school's formal and informal learning activities. Through processes of positive interdependence within groups, open discourse, collaborative reflection, and institutional support for the inclusion concept, students develop tolerance attitudes. Students can observe firsthand how to manage conflict, appreciate diversity, and develop empathy in the Islamic boarding school's communal life through collaborative learning. By supporting collaborative learning as an educational approach that contributes to the development of emotive and social values, this study makes a theoretical contribution. The study's practical conclusions suggest that enhancing collaborative learning is essential to creating inclusive Islamic boarding school-based instruction.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of learning motivation on junior high school students’ mathematical representation ability. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The population of this study consisted of all seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 13 Semarang in the 2025/2026 academic year, with a sample of 30 students selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included a mathematical representation ability test and a learning motivation questionnaire. The data were analyzed using normality and linearity tests, followed by a simple linear regression test. The results showed that learning motivation has a positive and significant effect on students’ mathematical representation ability, as indicated by a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.486, meaning that learning motivation contributes 48.6% to students’ mathematical representation ability. This finding suggests that students with higher learning motivation tend to have better ability in representing mathematical ideas through various forms of representation. In conclusion, learning motivation plays an important role in improving students’ mathematical representation ability. Therefore, teachers are encouraged to enhance students’ motivation in order to support better mathematics learning outcomes.

Abstract

Vocational education involves many practical activities requiring direct examples or authentic media for effective learning. In fashion vocational education, three-dimensional media has emerged as the predominant choice for instructional presentation. This research aimed to develop products and systematically analyze the quality, composition, and effectiveness of miniature dress forms fabricated from spunbound as three-dimensional presentation media. The present study employed a research and development method that utilized the ADDIE model and a quantitative descriptive approach. The study involved 66 participants, including six expert validators, 20 small-scale, and 40 large-scale tests. The results obtained demonstrated that the miniature dress form, fabricated from spunbond material, exhibited quality (96.72), composition (97.03), and effectiveness (96.56) metrics that collectively fall within the high category, thus substantiating its efficacy as a three-dimensional presentation medium for fashion vocational education. It is therefore anticipated that the miniature dress form made from spunbond will be utilized as a three-dimensional presentation medium within the context of fashion vocational education.
