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.

Abstract

Developing instrument tests is an important skill for prospective teachers. The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum is a means to meet 21st-century skills, one of which is numeracy literacy. This study aims to describe the creativity of prospective teachers and the cognitive level of the developed mathematics problem oriented with Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) using ethnomathematics context. This qualitative research employed a phenomenological approach, with subjects 7th-semester prospective teachers at an Islamic higher education. Stratified random sampling and maximum variation sampling techniques were used to select 12 students from 96 based on prerequisite course grades. Student creativity in constructing problems was assessed using rubrics based on creativity indicators: fluency, flexibility, and elaboration. The Gwet AC1 Coefficient was used to ensure agreement on the scoring results. Based on the fluency indicator, the results showed that the algebra content was the most difficult to develop, while the measurement and geometry content was the easiest. Based on the flexibility indicator, the majority of the problems were at the application level, and the fewest were at the reasoning level. Considering the level of problems, content on measurement & geometry, data & uncertainty, and algebra were least frequently developed into reasoning-level problems. Based on the problem type in the elaboration indicator, the majority of students developed problems that did not contain new additional information. The least frequently developed problem type was one that included additional information but was not necessary to solve the problem. The findings of this study imply the necessity of measuring teachers' numeracy literacy skills before students' numeracy literacy is developed and measured, as well as the importance of problem development training.

Abstract

This study aims to determine students' ability to understand the prerequisite material for Pythagorean concepts. The study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were students of class VIII B at SMP Adhyaksa 1 in Jambi City. Data collection involved written tests, interviews, and documentation, followed by analysis through data reduction, data presentation, and the formulation of conclusions. Data analysis was conducted based on concept comprehension indicators, namely 1) restating a concept, 2) writing down concepts in various mathematical representations, 3) using certain procedures, and 4) applying a concept. Based on the findings, of the 14 students, 7 were classified as having low comprehension, 5 were categorized at a moderate level, and 2 students achieved a high level of comprehension. This shows that students' conceptual understanding abilities vary. The results of the study show that students' conceptual understanding of the prerequisite material on Pythagoras tends to be low, with 50% in the low category. Some students showed fairly good achievement in the indicators of restating concepts and representing concepts. However, students were still weak in the indicators of selecting and using specific procedures and applying concepts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the contribution of qualitative research approaches, particularly ethnography and case studies, in unveiling the interplay between classroom culture and students' mathematical thinking processes. Using a literature review method, this study synthesizes scholarly sources from 2015 to 2025 to deepen the understanding of how social context influences cognitive construction in mathematics education. The findings reveal that mathematical thinking is not an isolated cognitive activity but is deeply embedded in classroom culture. Ethnographic approaches effectively uncover the "hidden curriculum" and cultural norms that shape learning, while case studies provide granular insights into students' specific cognitive hurdles. The integration of these approaches with constructivist pedagogies, such as Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI), offers a robust framework for creating more meaningful and culturally responsive learning environments. This study concludes that qualitative inquiry is essential for bridging the gap between individual cognition and social context, providing a humanistic perspective on mathematics education.
