Abstract

This study aims to identify the difficulties experienced by high school students in solving higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) questions on probability and to analyze the scaffolding provided to help students overcome these difficulties based on visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. HOTS questions require the students to think creatively, critically, and logically, which are commonly hindered by the abstract nature of the concept of probability. This qualitative descriptive study involved three students classified based on their learning styles. Data were collected using a learning style questionnaire, HOTS test questions, and interviews, and were analyzed via data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that visual learners struggled with transformation and process skills, auditory learners with process skills, and kinesthetic learners with both transformation and process skills. To remedy these issues, scaffolding was created according to each learning style. Visual learners were assisted by the use of visual comparison charts and Figure-based guidelines, auditory learners responded to guided inquiry questions and oral explanations, and kinesthetic learners performed well through action tasks and movement-based simulations. These individualized scaffolding strategies allowed the students to overcome conceptual and procedural barriers, thereby improving their ability to answer HOTS probability questions more effectively. This study emphasizes the importance of adaptive support tailored to personal learning styles to increase the mathematical understanding of students.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the creative thinking abilities of Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) students in solving problems in the material of one variable linear related to the level of mathematical anxiety. The approach used was qualitative descriptive involving three students from class VIII of MTs Al-Ibrohimi Gresik who were selected by purposive sampling based on low, medium, and high levels of mathematical anxiety. The research instruments included a mathematical anxiety questionnaire, a mathematical creative thinking ability test, and interview guidelines. Based on the results of data analysis, students with low anxiety levels showed fulfillment of the four indicators of creative thinking, namely fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration so that they were classified in the category of very creative. Participants with moderate anxiety met two indicators, namely flexibility and elaboration, which indicated a sufficient level of creativity. Meanwhile, students with high anxiety only met one indicator, namely flexibility, and were classified as less creative. The results of this study show a tendency to decline the ability to think creatively along with the increasing level of students' mathematical anxiety in the process of solving mathematical problems.

Abstract

This study aims to exploring how motivational videos can enhance students' mathematical thinking skills. The research employed a qualitative exploratory descriptive method involving eighth-grade students at one state junior high school in Surabaya who were selected based on high pretest scores. The students were given a motivational video designed to present the concept of Systems of Linear Equations of Two Variables through real-life applications and visual explanations. Data collection was conducted through pretest and posttest tasks and analyzed using document analysis techniques to observe students’ development in forming mathematical models, selecting appropriate strategies (substitution and elimination), and drawing logical conclusions. The results showed significant improvements in students' problem-solving abilities, conceptual understanding, and confidence in applying systematic procedures. Qualitative changes were also evident in their metacognitive behaviors, such as planning and evaluating solution steps. In addition, the videos reduced students' anxiety towards mathematics and increased their motivation to learn. These findings indicate that motivational videos, when designed pedagogically and contextually, can effectively support the development of higher-order thinking skills in mathematics learning. The study suggests that teachers integrate digital media into classroom instruction to foster deeper cognitive engagement. Although limited to two subjects, this research provides important insights and encourages further studies with broader samples to evaluate the long-term impact of video-based learning on student thinking development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the creative thinking ability of junior high school students in solving mathematical problems on fractions material based on Polya's procedure. This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with the subject of two students who were selected purposively. The research instruments were problem solving questions based on Polya's four steps and interview guidelines to explore students' creative thinking processes. Data analysis was based on three indicators of mathematical creativity, namely fluency, flexibility, and novelty. The results showed that both subjects were able to understand the problem and identify relevant information, but there were differences in the problem-solving strategies used. The subject tends to use one conventional strategy without exploring other alternatives, so it has not met the indicators of flexibility and novelty. Meanwhile, the subject was able to generate several ideas and try various solution strategies, thus fulfilling the indicators of fluency, flexibility, and novelty. In addition, it was found that difficulties in understanding the concept and visual representation of fractions also affected students' creative thinking process. This finding confirms the importance of implementing open problem-based learning and systematic use of Polya's procedures to develop students' creative thinking skills, especially on fraction materials. The results of this study are expected to be a reference for teachers in designing mathematics learning strategies that are more innovative and according to the needs of students in junior high schools.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the creative thinking abilities of Junior High School students in solving open-ended mathematical problems. Creative thinking ability is an essential aspect of mathematics, particularly when solving problems that require varied solutions. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach involving five seventh-grade students. Data were collected through open-ended problem-solving tests and interviews. The analysis was conducted by identifying indicators of creative thinking, such as fluency, flexibility, and novelty, based on students’ responses. The results show that students’ creative thinking abilities vary. Some students were unable to produce multiple different solutions (flexibility). Elaborating on their answers also posed a challenge for 60% of the students. This study provides implications for the development of mathematics learning that emphasizes enhancing students’ creative thinking abilities through open-ended problems.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by GeoGebra in improving junior high school students’ learning outcomes on the topic of the System of Linear Equations of Two Variables (SPLDV). The research is grounded in the existing problems in mathematics classrooms, where students often experience difficulties in understanding abstract concepts, exhibit low problem-solving abilities, and show limited interest in learning due to conventional, teacher-centered instructional approaches. GeoGebra, as an interactive digital tool, provides dynamic visualizations that help students connect algebraic theory with graphical representation, thereby facilitating deeper conceptual understanding. The findings reveal that the implementation of PBL assisted by GeoGebra significantly enhances students’ conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and learning interest. These results suggest that integrating technology-supported PBL can create more meaningful and engaging learning experiences. The study recommends that future research extend the application of this model to other mathematical topics and educational levels, as well as examine its long-term effects on affective aspects such as motivation and learning attitudes.
