Abstract

This study reports the development and empirical evaluation of a culturally responsive flipbook e-module for teaching quantities and units in Indonesian senior secondary physics. Developed using the ADDIE framework and grounded in Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT), the module integrates local measurement systems, mud, tala, lot, and deben, as epistemic resources for scientific reasoning. A quasi-experimental field trial involved 117 Grade 10 students across three intact classes: two experimental groups (digital: n = 41; print: n = 40) and one control group (conventional worksheets: n = 36). Expert validation confirmed strong content validity (Aiken’s V = 0.87), particularly in cultural authenticity and alignment with critical thinking constructs. Student surveys indicated high practicality (89.55%) and positive perceptions (85.75%), with learners highlighting how culturally familiar contexts, such as zakat unit analysis or land measurement using lots, enhanced relevance and cognitive engagement. To evaluate learning impact, a pretest–posttest design was implemented, with critical thinking measured via a validated open-response instrument. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), controlling for pretest scores, revealed a statistically significant effect of instructional modality on posttest performance, F(2, 113) = 58.34, p < 0.001, with a large effect size (partial η² = 0.513). Adjusted means showed that the experimental groups significantly outperformed the control group (Madj = 79.14 (digital); Madj = 80.72 (print); Madj = 42.13 (control); p < 0.001), while there was no meaningful difference between the delivery modes (p = 0.682). These findings suggest that the CRT-based design, rather than the medium, influences learning outcomes, supporting scalable implementation across diverse infrastructural contexts. When cultural knowledge is structurally integrated into disciplinary reasoning, students engage more deeply, affirming the module’s potential as an equitable, contextually relevant tool for improving rigorous science education. Keywords: critical thinking skills, e-module, culturally responsive teaching.

Abstract

Junior high school students in Indonesia consistently face systemic challenges in their mathematical reasoning skills, leading to consistently poor performance on international tests like PISA. This enduring educational disparity underscores an immediate need for pedagogical reforms that transcend rote memorization and promote approaches that foster cognitive adaptability. Our study was driven by the need to evaluate and compare the efficacy of three prominent student-centered frameworks: Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Creative Problem Solving (CPS), and Problem Posing, in enhancing students' reasoning outcomes. Our study utilized a quasi-experimental design featuring a post-test-only control group. The sample consisted of 93 seventh-grade students from Bandar Lampung. The data underwent statistical testing because the CPS group exhibited a non-normal distribution, as determined by preliminary normality testing (Sig. = 0.000). Therefore, the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis Test was employed to ensure analytical integrity. The findings revealed a statistically significant disparity in reasoning achievement across the three experimental groups (Asymp.Sig. = 0.006). Detailed pairwise comparisons using the Bonferroni correction demonstrated that while PBL and CPS yielded comparable results (Adj.Sig. = 1.000), likely due to their shared reliance on structured problem-solving foundations, the Problem Posing model emerged as the most potent intervention. It significantly outperformed both PBL (Adj. Sig. = 0.007) and CPS (Adj. Sig. = 0.035). This superiority stems from the unique cognitive demands of problem-solving, which necessitate that students engage in thorough, divergent thinking and careful structural analysis of mathematical concepts. This model enhances metacognitive skills essential for advanced reasoning by transforming students' roles from problem solvers to creators. This study recommends problem posing as a core approach for educators aiming to improve students' mathematical reasoning. Keywords: mathematical reasoning, problem posing, problem-based learning, creative problem solving.

Abstract

The low mathematical ability of vocational high school (SMK) students is a strategic problem because mathematics is the foundation of technical competence in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Various pedagogical innovations have been proposed to overcome this problem, but previous studies have often encountered obstacles in effectively improving the conceptual understanding of students with low Initial Mathematical Ability (KAM). This quasi-experimental study was designed to test the effectiveness of the open-ended approach as an alternative learning method and to investigate the role of KAM as a moderating variable, particularly regarding aspects that have not received attention in vocational education research. The research sample consisted of 72 students in grade XI majoring in Computer and Network Engineering (TKJ), divided into a non-equivalent control group design, with the experimental group receiving open-ended approach learning (N=36) and the control group receiving conventional learning (N=36). Data collection was conducted using a mathematics concept comprehension test instrument and an observation sheet for the implementation of learning. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Kruskal-Wallis H test on the normalized N-Gain scores. The results show a significant difference in conceptual understanding between the two groups, with the experimental group's N-Gain score (0.72; high category) statistically higher than the control group's (0.62; medium category). These findings contribute to the literature by demonstrating that the open approach not only improves average academic achievement but also reduces the learning gap through differential mechanisms responsive to heterogeneity in initial abilities. Thus, this study recommends the Open Approach as a pedagogical framework with the potential to transform vocational mathematics learning practices toward a more equitable and adaptive system. Keywords: initial mathematical ability, open-ended approach, conceptual understanding ability.

Abstract

Religious moderation is an essential competency for Generation Z students to maintain social cohesion in the digital era. Despite this importance, students may demonstrate tolerant dispositions without strong conceptual literacy. This study examined the effectiveness of gamification in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) as a strategy to strengthen the internalization of religious moderation by improving both religious moderation knowledge (MK) and religious moderation attitude (MA). The study employed a quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group design involving 128 undergraduate students at Universitas PGRI Pontianak (experimental group, n = 63; control group, n = 65). MK was measured using a knowledge test, and MA was assessed using an attitude questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), with pretest scores treated as covariates. Descriptive findings showed that MA increased from high to very high in both groups (control: M = 59.28 to 70.92; experimental: M = 58.86 to 73.43). MK also increased from very low to high (control: M = 43.08 to 71.54; experimental: M = 42.30 to 78.49). After controlling for baseline scores, the multivariate analysis indicated a significant group difference on the combined outcomes (p < .001) with a very large effect size (partial η² = 0.543). Follow-up univariate tests confirmed significant effects of gamification on MK (p < .001; partial η² = 0.508) and MA (p < .001; partial η² = 0.255), indicating that the gamified class achieved higher posttest outcomes than the control class. These results suggest that gamification is a promising strategy for IRE learning in the digital era because it supports conceptual mastery of moderation while also strengthening moderation attitudes among Generation Z students.   Keywords: gamification, religious moderation, islamic religious education, generation Z students.

Abstract

The importance of mathematical creative thinking skills in the 21st century differs from the creative thinking skills of current elementary school students. A 5th-grade student at a public elementary school in West Bandung Regency, Indonesia, has low levels of creative thinking. This study aimed to analyze fifth-grade students' mathematical creative thinking skills during problem-solving, identify the underlying causes of their low performance, and propose instructional strategies to foster their development. The method used was qualitative, with a descriptive–interpretive design. Participants comprised 15 fifth-grade students from a single public elementary school in West Bandung Regency, Indonesia, selected via convenience sampling. The primary research instrument was the researcher, supported by a creative thinking skills test instrument and an interview guide. The results of this study are 1 student had a high level of creative thinking skills able to achieve indicators of flexibility, originality, awareness, and elaboration; 1 student had a moderate level of creative thinking skills able to achieve indicators of originality, awareness, and elaboration; and 13 students had low levels of creative thinking skills able to achieve indicators of fluency/originality/awareness/originality and awareness/ had not even achieved all indicators of mathematical creative thinking skills. Further analysis revealed fundamental misconceptions, particularly confusion between area and perimeter, fragmented procedural reasoning, and limited metacognitive verification during mathematical problem-solving. To improve students’ creative thinking skills, it is recommended to use learning activities oriented towards problem- and project-based learning, realistic mathematics, and mathematics textbooks that also support the problem-solving process. In conclusion, most fifth-grade students demonstrate low levels of mathematical creative thinking skills, shaped by conceptual misconceptions and limited metacognitive regulation, underscoring the importance of targeted, conceptually grounded, and problem-oriented instructional interventions. Keywords: creative thinking skills, mathematics, problem-solving.

Abstract

This study aims to develop a SMARTECH e-module integrated with Techno-mathematical Literacy (TmL) and to analyze its content validity, practicality, and the observed changes in students' cognitive engagement following the e-module's implementation. The study used a mixed-methods design with a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach. The subjects consisted of 120 junior high school students selected through purposive sampling from three schools in different areas in West Java. In the implementation stage, a one-group pretest-posttest design was used. Data were collected through expert assessment sheets, student and teacher practicality questionnaires, cognitive engagement questionnaires, observation sheets, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative methods to identify the e-module design characteristics; Aiken's V to assess content validity based on expert judgment; descriptive analysis to assess practicality; and paired-samples t-test, Cohen's d, and N-gain to examine changes in students' cognitive engagement. The results of the study indicate that the developed e-module has the main characteristics of a systematic learning flow, an easy-to-use digital interface, activities that encourage active thinking, and support for independent learning. The results of expert validation indicate that the e-module has adequate content validity across mathematical content suitability, TmL integration, instructional design, and activity flow (0,80 each), as well as language and readability (0.79). The results of the practicality test showed an average score of 4.35 (87%), which is classified as very practical. The pretest-posttest results showed that the use of the SMARTECH e-module was associated with a significant increase in students' cognitive engagement, with t(119) = 55.46, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 0.97, and N-gain = 0.44. Qualitative findings support these results, namely, students were more active in exploring various strategies, comparing representations, engaging in conceptual discussions, and being more persistent in solving non-routine problems. Thus, the SMARTECH e-module is declared valid, highly practical, and has the potential to increase students' cognitive involvement in mathematics learning in junior high school. Keywords: e-module, SMARTECH,  techno-mathematical literacy, cognitive engagement, design-based research.

Abstract

Education in the 21st century requires students to have various important skills, one of which is problem-solving skills. However, many students still experience difficulties solving problems and applying scientific knowledge to contextual situations. To support the development of problem-solving skills, teachers need to implement learning models that actively involve students. Effective learning provides opportunities for students to explore ideas, discuss, and build knowledge independently. Thus, this research aims to enhance students' problem-solving skills by applying the RADEC (Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create) model to the topic of flooding in science learning in elementary schools. This research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a nonequivalent control group design. The research involved 30 fifth-grade students in the experimental class and 24 in the control class. Data collection was carried out using descriptive tests to measure students' problem-solving skills and observation sheets to document the implementation of the learning model. Data analysis included a normality test, a homogeneity test, independent sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The research results indicate that the application of the RADEC learning model falls into the very good category based on the observations. The average score of students' problem-solving skills in the experimental class increased from 59.63 in the pretest to 72.47 in the posttest, while in the control class it increased from 54.38 to 64.12. The results of the hypothesis test indicated a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.05). In addition, the N-Gain analysis results show an increase in the medium category in the experimental class and a decrease in the low category in the control class. These findings indicate that the RADEC learning model effectively empowers students' problem-solving skills through contextual learning on flood-related topics. Keywords: RADEC learning model, problem-solving skills, flood natural disaster, science learning, elementary school.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the INSPIRE learning model in improving students’ mastery of environmental change material. The study is motivated by the persistent issue of low student learning outcomes and limited active engagement resulting from the dominance of teacher-centered instructional approaches. The INSPIRE model integrates inquiry-based learning and deep learning principles to promote conceptual understanding and meaningful learning processes. This research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group. The participants were two groups of 10th-grade students at SMAN 1 Piyungan, Yogyakarta, for a total of 36 students. The experimental group was taught using the INSPIRE model, while the control group received conventional instruction. Data were collected using a material mastery test and analyzed with an independent-samples t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a statistically significant difference between the two groups, with the experimental group achieving a higher mean posttest score (93.17) compared to the control group (62.85) (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that the INSPIRE learning model is associated with higher student mastery of environmental change material compared to conventional methods. Theoretically, the INSPIRE model is grounded in constructivist, social cognitive, and humanistic learning theories, which emphasize active learning, collaborative inquiry, and student engagement. The findings suggest that integrating inquiry-based and deep learning approaches can support improved conceptual understanding and overall learning outcomes. However, the results should be interpreted with caution, given the quasi-experimental design and the limited number of cognitive test items. Therefore, the INSPIRE learning model may serve as an alternative instructional strategy for enhancing biology learning and supporting the development of 21st-century competencies. Keywords: INSPIRE learning model, inquiry-based learning, deep learning, environmental change.

Abstract

Integer multiplication is one of the important materials in mathematics. However, material on integer multiplication often becomes a problem for junior high school students' learning. This study aims to determine the learning barriers experienced by junior high school students in the integer multiplication material and to identify the characteristics of these barriers (ontogenic, epistemological, and didactic). This study used a qualitative method with a diagnostic study design. The research participants were 14 eighth-grade students at a public junior high school in Bitung City, North Sulawesi, with 3 students selected as subjects for exploration based on the types and patterns of errors and the diversity of levels of understanding observed in learning integer multiplication. The research procedure began with the preparation of a diagnostic test instrument consisting of three abstract questions and story problems related to the multiplication of integers, as well as an interview guide. The instruments used comprised two types: a learning-obstacle diagnostic test and a semi-structured interview guide, while the researcher served as the analytical instrument. Data collection in this study was carried out using triangulation, namely observation, interviews, and documentation of textbooks and student notebooks. The research data analysis was conducted in three stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The study found three interrelated types of learning obstacles: ontogenic, epistemological, and didactical. Based on the results of the research and discussion on the identification of learning obstacles, it can be concluded that the characteristics of learning obstacles in learning integer multiplication in junior high school are ontogenic obstacle in the form of memorization without understanding the rules of multiplication of signs, epistemological obstacle in the form of misunderstanding of the definition and characteristics of integers, misconceptions about the rules of multiplication of signs, difficulties in understanding the relationship between real contexts and integer operations, and didactic obstacle in the form of design and implementation of learning. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to create a learning design to overcome students' learning obstacles in junior high school integer multiplication. Keywords: learning obstacle, integer multiplication, diagnostic study, junior high school students.

Abstract

Critical thinking (CT) skills in mathematics are essential for solving problems involving High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), although students with dyscalculia often experience difficulties in this process. This study was conducted to analyze the mathematical CT skills of students with dyscalculia in solving HOTS problems by gender using a qualitative method. This study involved male and female students with dyscalculia. Data were collected through a dyscalculia identification instrument, a HOTS-based CT test, and interviews. The analysis of mathematical CT skills was aligned with four indicators: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference. The findings show differences in students’ mathematical CT skills based on gender. Female students demonstrated competence across all four indicators of CT. The results show V1 (dyscalculia female students) is capable of accurately interpreting problem statements, analyzing relevant information, evaluating appropriate strategies, and drawing correct conclusions. In contrast, V2 (dyscalculia male students) experiences difficulties, particularly in interpreting problems and determining appropriate solution strategies, which in turn affects their overall problem-solving ability. These results suggest that gender may play a role in how students with dyscalculia approach and solve mathematical problems. Therefore, mathematics instruction must consider the unique characteristics of students with dyscalculia as well as gender differences to better support the development of CT skills. The integration of HOTS-based learning activities tailored to students’ needs is highly recommended to create a more inclusive and effective learning environment. Keywords: mathematical critical thinking, dyscalculia, problem solving, higher-order thinking skills, gender.
