Abstract

Creativity is a crucial 21st-century skill, yet students' mathematical creativity remains relatively low. This research aims to develop mathematics learning materials based on the Pijar Sekolah Learning Management System (LMS) that are interactive, contextual, and problem-based to foster creativity by considering self-confidence. The Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model was employed. The sample consisted of two classes at a vocational school in Bandung. Data were collected via questionnaires, interviews, and observations, then analyzed using Aiken’s V, Cronbach’s Alpha, Two-Way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. Results showed the materials are valid (Aiken’s V = 0.738) and reliable (Alpha = 0.945). Two-Way ANOVA revealed that the LMS method significantly improves creativity specifically for students with high self-confidence (p = 0.004), although it showed no significant difference for the overall group (p = 0.905). A significant positive correlation between self-confidence and creativity was found only in the experimental class (r = 0.478, p = 0.021). These findings emphasize that digital platforms optimize creativity when balanced with high student self-confidence.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the mathematical reasoning abilities of tenth-grade students at SMA Pusri Palembang in learning arithmetic sequences after the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model. The study was motivated by students’ difficulties in presenting mathematical statements, making conjectures, performing manipulations, and drawing logical conclusions. The CTL model was selected because it connects mathematical concepts with real-life contexts and encourages active student participation in the learning process. This research employed a qualitative descriptive method, with data collected through classroom observations, posttests, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that students’ mathematical reasoning abilities varied across different levels. Students in the high category were able to fulfill most indicators of mathematical reasoning, those in the moderate category met some indicators, while students in the low category experienced difficulties in understanding arithmetic sequence concepts. The implementation of the CTL model through context-based student worksheets (LKPD) was shown to enhance student engagement and support systematic reasoning in problem-solving processes, despite challenges related to limited time and unequal student participation.

Abstract

This study aims to describe elementary students’ procedural fluency in solving fraction addition problems using the built-in definition fraction media. Fraction operations are often challenging for students, particularly when determining common denominators and applying calculation procedures accurately. These difficulties are commonly associated with weak procedural understanding and limited opportunities to use concrete learning media. This descriptive study involved 30 fourth-grade students from SDN 204 Palembang who had previously learned basic fraction concepts. Data were collected through a written test consisting of three levels of procedural fluency tasks and supported by interviews to explore students’ reasoning processes. The results show that 47% of students were able to solve fraction addition problems with denominators (Level 1), 33% managed tasks involving adjustment of one denominator (Level 2), and only 13% successfully solved problems requiring the determination of the least common multiple of denominators (Level 3). These findings indicate that students’ procedural fluency development is not linear but constrained at transition points from concrete visual manipulation to abstract procedural reasoning. While the built-in definition fraction media effectively supported early procedural stages by strengthening visual–procedural connections, it was less effective in facilitating higher-level abstraction required for complex fraction operations. The study contributes to procedural fluency literature by identifying specific procedural transition points where students begin to experience difficulties.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the problem-posing abilities of ninth-grade students on the topic of cylinders using an oil context. A descriptive qualitative approach was conducted at SMP Negeri 10 Prabumulih with three students representing high, medium, and low academic levels. Data were collected through a problem-posing test and interviews, analyzed using data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing techniques. The results showed that students’ problem-posing abilities varied across ability levels. High-ability students demonstrated flexibility in generating problems, used logical strategies, and drew conclusions relevant to the context. Medium-ability students were able to create new problems but still relied on familiar examples, while low-ability students experienced difficulties in formulating problems and performing calculations accurately. Indicators such as flexibility, originality, strategy use, argument analysis, and conclusion drawing were found to be interconnected. The use of the oil context increased students’ motivation because it was close to their daily experiences. However, real-life contexts alone did not ensure originality without teacher guidance. This study recommends integrating local contexts into problem-posing instruction to enhance students’ creativity, numeracy skills, and higher-order thinking abilities.

Abstract

Mastery of cylinder material is essential for strengthening students’ spatial reasoning and understanding of curved-3D shapes; however, prior research shows persistent difficulties in learning 3D shapes one of them is thc cylinder. These difficulties are often exacerbated by limited use of innovative, contextual, and technology-supported learning materials. To address these challenges, this research integrates three key components ethnomathematics, RME, and technology to support dynamic visualization of cylindrical shapes. This study aims to develop a student worksheet using the Techno-Ethno-Realistic Mathematics Education (TE-RME) approach assisted by AR for learning cylinder concepts in junior secondary school. This study uses a design research methodology in two stages, namely a preliminary study and formative evaluation. The subjects of this study were 33 ninth-grade students of junior high school in Semarang. Data collected through observations, tests, and interviews were analyzed descriptively. This study produced a student activity sheet on cylinder material, which was combined with animated video and AR media whose effectiveness and efficiency align with the characteristics of the TE-RME approach. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the TE-RME-based student activity sheet combined with animated video and AR media is efficient and effective in helping students develop conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. The integration of animated video and AR media and the TE-RME approach reflects a commitment to innovation and continuous development of effective learning designs that promote inclusive, equitable, and meaningful learning experiences.

Abstract

The dominance of procedural learning in mathematics highlights the need for contextual learning to develop students’ number sense. This study aims to develop a realistic mathematics education learning design based on the local cultural context of Sedekah Rame to enhance junior high school students’ number comprehension. This research employed a validation design research method through three stages: preliminary design, teaching experiments, and retrospective analysis. The participants were 8th-grade students of SMP Negeri 3 Lubuklinggau. Data were collected using observation sheets, student worksheets, interviews, field notes, and documentation. Qualitative data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing with triangulation to ensure validity. The learning design focused on four indicators of number sense: estimation, mental calculation, assessment of numerical magnitude, and assessment of result rationality. The findings show that the Sedekah Rame context provides meaningful mathematical situations and supports the emergence of flexible numerical strategies. However, the development of number comprehension requires strong conceptual understanding and continuous learning experiences. The findings indicate that the Sedekah Rame cultural context supports the development of students’ number sense by encouraging flexible numerical reasoning. However, strengthening conceptual understanding and providing continuous, well-structured learning experiences are essential to achieve more consistent improvement.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the mathematical problem-solving and critical thinking skills of students in the subject of Two-Variable Linear Equation Systems (SPLDV) within the context of batik culture. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, supplemented by rudimentary quantitative data, in a study of 36 eighth-grade students at a junior high school in Karawang Regency. The research instruments employed included a culture-based SPLDV written test, interviews, observations, and documentation. The analysis of mathematical problem-solving skills is referred to as Polya's stages, while mathematical critical thinking skills are analyzed based on Ennis' indicators. The findings indicate that students' mathematical critical thinking skills remain deficient, particularly in the domains of making conjectures, developing and evaluating arguments, and verifying solutions through substitution and graphical representation. Concurrently, mathematical problem-solving aptitudes indicated that the capacity to comprehend problems was in the adequate range, the aptitude to formulate strategies was in the satisfactory range, the aptitude to execute strategies was suboptimal, and the aptitude to verify was the least proficient aspect. These findings suggest a necessity for educational approaches that prioritize the cultivation of procedural, evaluative, and reflective skills by leveraging meaningful cultural contexts.
