Abstract

The ethnomathematics approach can simplify mathematical reasoning for students while introducing cultural knowledge. Mathematical concepts in culture are discovered through mathematical reasoning. This research is important to conduct because Madurese batik motifs contain the concept of flat shapes and mathematical reasoning which have the potential to become a source of contextual mathematics learning based on local culture.The purpose of this study is to describe students' mathematical reasoning in Madurese batik ethnomathematics, particularly in plane geometry, through mathematical reasoning indicators. This study adopted a qualitative descriptive research method. The researcher selected 20 participants as subjects and grouped them into high, medium, and low groups based on the results of the reasoning test answers that had the same tendency in writing steps and answers. Therefore, the interview process used two students per group. Data processing was carried out through descriptive analysis and triangulation analysis based on the test results, interviews, and field notes. The results were then reduced, followed by data presentation and conclusion drawing. The results of the study showed that the achievement of mathematical reasoning indicators with all students being able to make assumptions about problems, 16 students being able to prepare mathematical steps, 16 students being able to make conclusions about answers, and 3 students being able to provide arguments/reasons as truth. In addition, at high mathematical reasoning ability, students were able to fulfill all mathematical reasoning indicators. At medium mathematical reasoning ability, students were able to fulfill two mathematical reasoning indicators. At low mathematical reasoning ability, students were not able to fulfill the mathematical reasoning indicators.These results suggest that implementing ethnomathematics can facilitate students' mathematical reasoning. This research has implications for the development of ethnomathematics-based contextual mathematics learning that can enhance mathematical reasoning while preserving Madurese batik culture.

Abstract

This research aims to analyse the effect of implementing the Challenge Based Learning (CBL) model on students' mathematics thinking ability through a meta-analysis approach. Although mathematics plays an important role in developing students' mathematics thinking ability, international studies such as PISA show that mathematical skills in Indonesia are low. One strategy to improve these skills is through innovative learning models, one of which is CBL. CBL combines problem-based learning, project-based learning, and real-life contexts to solve relevant challenges. Based on a literature review, the application of CBL has been proven effective in improving mathematics thinking abilily such as creative thinking, critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and numeracy literacy. Meta-analysis combines data from relevant studies by calculating the effect size to evaluate the impact. The results of the analysis show that the CBL model has a very high influence on students' mathematics thinking ability, with an average effect size of 4.028, which is classified as very high. The t-test also confirmed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (tcount = 35.05 > ttable = 19.97), confirming that CBL had an effect on improving mathematical thinking skills. Based on these findings, the CBL model is recommended as a learning model to improve mathematical thinking skills in mathematics education.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is one of the skills assessed in the PISA test. The results of the PISA international assessment show that Indonesian students' mathematical literacy skills are not yet optimal. An effort to evaluate suboptimal mathematical literacy is to use questions with an ethnomathematics-based PISA framework. This study aims to synthesize various studies discussing ethnomathematics-based PISA questions used to assess the mathematical literacy of secondary school students. The research method used is a Literature Review with meta-synthesis techniques, which analyzes five selected articles published in 2020–2025 from the Scopus, Google Scholar, and Semantic Scholar databases. The inclusion criteria focused on qualitative studies with junior high and high school students as subjects that discussed mathematical literacy skills through a cultural context. The results of the study show that local cultural elements such as traditional food, Sidoarjo batik, and Gambang musical instruments are effective contextual media in connecting mathematical concepts with students' real lives. The most frequently appearing indicators of mathematical literacy are communication and mathematizing, while the indicators of reasoning and argument remain a major challenge for students. PISA questions with an ethnomathematics nuance are able to strengthen students' understanding of mathematics and instill local cultural values, thereby improving mathematical literacy. Thus, the integration of local culture in mathematics learning is an effective strategy for strengthening mathematical literacy skills and instilling cultural awareness in students in accordance with the PISA framework.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of technology and learning models in improving students’ spatial abilities in mathematics learning. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the PRISMA framework, this study analyzed seven relevant articles published between 2020 and 2025 from reputable databases such as Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and SINTA. The findings indicate that various learning technologies, including GeoGebra, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality–based mobile learning, Math City Maps, and Adobe Flash, have a positive impact on supporting visualization, interaction, and students’ understanding of geometric and spatial concepts. In addition, constructivist-oriented learning models such as Problem Based Learning (PBL), Guided Discovery Learning, Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), the Van Hiele model, and Thinking Aloud Pair Problem Solving (TAPPS) provide more meaningful learning experiences by encouraging active exploration, discussion, and independent construction of spatial concepts. The results further demonstrate that the integration of interactive and immersive technologies with appropriate learning models produces a synergistic effect in enhancing students’ mathematical spatial abilities. These findings offer an important foundation for educators in designing mathematics instruction that is more innovative, contextual, and aligned with the characteristics of the digital generation. Future research is recommended to further investigate the effectiveness of specific combinations of technologies and learning models in authentic classroom settings

Abstract

Mathematics education in the digital age faces new challenges and opportunities with the advent of technology. Artificial Intelligence and Search Engines have become tools that are often used in the process of searching for information and learning. This study aims to identify, map, and synthesize the latest scientific research on the role, impact, and challenges of using artificial intelligence and search engines in the context of mathematics education. The method used is a systematic study of 26 relevant articles from 2016 to 2025, which are included in the Q1, Q2, and Q3 indices, obtained through a selection process similar to the PRISMA guidelines. The results of the thematic analysis revealed several key findings: (1) There was a significant boom in research trends in 2024-2025, dominated by Generative AI research (such as ChatGPT). (2) The role of artificial intelligence has evolved from intelligent tutor systems (ITS) to dialogic personal tutors (chatbots) and adaptive learning platforms. (3) The role of traditional search engines as information retrieval tools is shifting and, in some cases, being replaced by generative AI capable of synthesizing answers. (4) Consistent positive impacts reported include increased motivation, problem solving, and self-efficacy, but these are offset by challenges related to accuracy, bias, and the urgent need for AI literacy among teachers and students. This study concludes that the state of mathematics learning technology is rapidly shifting toward AI-based systems, which requires pedagogical adaptation and further research on their integration in the classroom.
