Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities and learning motivation. A true experimental design was employed with a posttest-only control group. The sample consisted of 72 students (36 experimental, 36 control) selected through random sampling. Data were collected using a problem-solving ability test and a learning motivation questionnaire (30 items, 5-point Likert scale). The instruments were validated through expert review and pilot testing, achieving a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89 for the questionnaire. Independent t-tests revealed a significant difference in problem-solving ability between the experimental and control groups (t = -9.62, p < 0.001). However, learning motivation results did not show a statistically significant difference (t = -6.20, p = 0.269). The findings suggest that PMRI enhances students’ problem-solving abilities but may require longer intervention periods to influence motivation.

Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly influenced instructional practices in mathematics education, particularly in the teaching of abstract and conceptually demanding topics such as geometry and trigonometry. One foundational topic that frequently presents learning challenges is right triangle geometry, which underpins students’ understanding of trigonometric ratios and their applications. This study aims to describe university students’ responses to the use of GeoGebra as a technology-assisted learning tool in right triangle geometry instruction. Employing a descriptive survey research design, the study involved 30 first-year students enrolled in a Mathematics Education program at Universitas PGRI Palembang. Data were collected through a structured student response questionnaire administered after a GeoGebra-assisted learning session. The questionnaire examined four aspects: perceived conceptual understanding, learning motivation, interactivity, and ease of problem solving. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of percentage distributions. The findings indicate that students demonstrated positive to very positive responses across all assessed aspects, particularly in learning motivation and perceived conceptual clarity supported by visual representations. While the results do not claim instructional effectiveness or learning gains, they suggest that GeoGebra is perceived as a supportive and engaging tool for learning right triangle geometry. The study contributes descriptive evidence regarding students’ perceptions of GeoGebra-based instruction and provides pedagogical insights for mathematics educators integrating digital tools in geometry learning.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze junior high school students’ conceptual understanding of Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SLETV) based on conceptual understanding indicators at SMP Fitra Abdi Palembang. Conceptual understanding is a fundamental ability in mathematics learning; however, many students experience difficulties in applying mathematical concepts to contextual problems. This study employed a descriptive quantitative method involving 31 ninth-grade students selected through random sampling. Data were collected using an essay test consisting of seven items aligned with conceptual understanding indicators. The results showed that students’ overall conceptual understanding was categorized as high, with an average score of 60.50. Students demonstrated very high achievement in recognizing and restating concepts (92.47%) and presenting concepts in various representations (83.87%). However, the lowest achievement was found in applying concepts or algorithms to problem-solving (26.89%), indicating difficulties in connecting abstract concepts with real-life situations. These findings suggest that teachers should emphasize learning strategies that promote conceptual application, such as Problem-Based Learning or contextual approaches, to improve students’ ability to apply mathematical concepts meaningfully. This study contributes to mathematics education by providing a detailed profile of students’ conceptual understanding indicators that can serve as a reference for instructional improvement.
