Abstract

The proliferation of digital technologies in higher education has necessitated innovative pedagogical approaches to enhance student retention and learning outcomes. Microlearning, characterized by short, focused learning segments, has emerged as a promising strategy for addressing contemporary educational challenges. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of microlearning interventions in higher education settings, specifically examining their impact on student retention rates and learning outcomes from 2020-2025. Following PRISMA guidelines, we comprehensively searched multiple databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, and IEEE Xplore. Studies were included if they examined microlearning interventions in higher education contexts with quantitative measures of student retention or learning outcomes. Quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Of 2,847 initially identified studies, 42 met inclusion criteria, encompassing 15,673 participants across 18 countries. Meta-analysis revealed significant positive effects of microlearning on student retention (pooled OR = 1,87; 95% CI: 1,45-2,41; p < 0,001) and learning outcomes (standardized mean difference = 0,74; 95% CI: 0,58-0,90; p < 0,001). Subgroup analyses indicated greater effectiveness in STEM subjects when combined with mobile technologies. Heterogeneity was moderate (I² = 67% for retention, I² = 71% for learning outcomes). Microlearning significantly positively affects student retention and learning outcomes in higher education. The evidence supports its implementation as an effective pedagogical strategy, particularly in statistics education and technology-enhanced learning environments. Future research should focus on long-term retention effects and optimal design principles.

Abstract

Creative thinking in students is essential in the learning process. It can help students discover new ways to understand and solve problems. Through creative thinking, students do not merely focus on finding the correct answer but also learn to explore various possibilities and ideas. This study aims to obtain a description of students’ creative thinking profiles with logical-mathematical intelligence in solving mathematical problems, viewed from their learning styles. The focus is on how students with logical-mathematical intelligence utilize creative thinking in accordance with their individual learning styles. This research employs a qualitative approach. The research subjects are three 10th-grade high school students, each representing a combination of logical-mathematical intelligence with a different learning style: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Data were collected through students’ written responses and interviews. The results of the study show that at the stage of understanding the problem, subjects with logical-mathematical intelligence across all three learning styles demonstrated aspects of fluency and flexibility. At the planning stage, the visual and kinesthetic learners met all aspects of creative thinking, including fluency, flexibility, and novelty. In contrast, the auditory learner demonstrated only fluency and flexibility. At the stage of carrying out the plan, visual and kinesthetic learners again showed all aspects of creative thinking more completely than the auditory learner, who only demonstrated fluency and flexibility. However, in the reviewing stage, all subjects showed only fluency and flexibility, without the presence of novelty. These findings highlight the importance of considering students’ learning styles in developing creative thinking skills, particularly for those with logical-mathematical intelligence. An effective learning process must be designed with differentiation, taking into account students’ learning styles. With appropriate strategies, students can not only understand the material well but also fully develop their creative thinking potential at each stage of problem-solving.

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.
