Abstract

Background: Mathematics learning demands not only conceptual understanding but also critical thinking skills. However, studies in Indonesian classrooms have shown that students often struggle with both abilities. A possible cause is the use of teacher-centered approaches that do not facilitate student engagement or meaningful learning experiences.Aim: This study aims to investigate the effect of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model integrated with an ethnomathematics approach on students’ conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills in mathematics.Method: This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 60 ninth-grade students from two different classes selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected through validated test instruments and analyzed using Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) with a significance level of 0.05.Results: The findings showed that both the conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills of students in the experimental group improved significantly compared to the control group. The MANOVA results indicated a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), confirming a significant effect of the CTL model with ethnomathematics on both dependent variables. The average N-Gain score in the experimental class was higher (0.68) than in the control class (0.62).Conclusion: The implementation of the CTL model with an ethnomathematics approach has a positive and significant effect on improving students’ conceptual understanding and critical thinking in mathematics. This approach enables students to relate mathematical content to cultural contexts, making learning more meaningful and engaging.

Abstract

Background: In this age of omnipresent celebration of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) in education, what will happen to humans’ naturally acquired intelligence may be a million-dollar question. From the long-termism perspective and existential and humanistic worldviews, this question stands very relevant and legitimate.Aims: This paper aims to philosophically pose questions as regards the uncritical uses of Gen AI tools and deconstruct the meaning of AI-integrated writing, positing the phenomenon in the generational concern and futurism with the potential formation of writing habitus.Methods: By applying the method of theoretical reflection, this study employs a philosophical analysis and critically engages with the extant literature on GenAI-integrated academic writing. By doing so, the paper brings up the potential materialist perspectives on writing within the emerging discourse around the dominant orientations towards GenAI-assisted writing and thus interprets the implications for writers’ creative agency and cognitive contribution. Result: The analysis reveals that students (digital natives) of the present generation may exhibit a syndrome of being easily gravitated into the materialistic quicksand of the so-called “textual generation” while keeping themselves as “cognitive absentees” in the process of writing as a “knowledge creation.” Students’ overindulgence in availing Chat GPT’s generative service may develop a materialistic “generative habit” in students characterizing them as “faithful slaves” to Gen AI labor and as “intelligent dwarfs.” If this decoupling of natural intelligence from writing keeps fossilizing, the whole generation of student writers may turn into the “practitioners” of GenAI-assisted generation of contents and “escapists” and “skeptics” of creation of knowledge based on the contingency of natural human intelligence.Conclusion: The paper, therefore, advocates that it is high time to bypass the shortsighted, neoliberal triumph of writing as a GenAI-supported product or commodity for attaining marks and grades and, thus, reclaim the dignity and creative credits of students’ real scholarship by reorienting writing as a human intelligence-centric creation of real knowledge.

Abstract

Background: The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence has reshaped online learning environments by offering instant explanations, personalized support, and automated feedback. Although AI tools are increasingly integrated into higher education, limited research has examined students’ subjective experiences, especially within fully online learning contexts where dependence on digital tools is higher.Aims:This study aims to explore students’ lived experiences in using AI as a learning assistant during online education and to identify the benefits, challenges, and ethical concerns arising from this interaction.Methods: A qualitative phenomenological design was employed to capture the meaning behind students’ experiences. Participants were undergraduate students who had used AI tools for at least three months. Data were collected through semi structured online interviews and analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to identify key themes.Result: The study revealed four major themes. Students perceived AI as a practical and supportive learning companion that enhanced comprehension and reduced learning anxiety. However, limitations related to inaccurate information required students to verify AI outputs and develop stronger digital literacy. AI also influenced self regulation by helping students plan and monitor their learning, though concerns regarding overreliance were noted. Ethical uncertainties about plagiarism and unclear institutional guidelines further shaped students’ experiences.Conclusion: AI has significant potential to enrich online learning when used thoughtfully and responsibly. To maximize benefits and reduce risks, institutions should provide clear policies, strengthen students’ digital literacy, and offer ethical guidance for AI use in academic tasks.

Abstract

Background: Generative AI search tools has transformed how researcher access, interpret, and synthesize academic literature. For early-career scholars, these technologies offer potential support in addressing limitations related to research experience, particularly in literature comprehension and conceptual framework development. However, empirical studies explaining how and through what internal mechanisms generative AI supports educational research remain limited, especially those that account for psychological and cognitive mediating factors.Aims: This study aims to examine the role of generative AI search tools in enhancing educational research productivity among early-career scholars by analyzing the mediating roles of academic self-confidence, literature comprehension, and research self-regulation.Methods: A mediation-based multi-method approach with an explanatory sequential design was employed. Quantitative data were collected through a Likert-scale survey and analyzed using mediation modeling, followed by qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed thematically to elaborate and contextualize the quantitative findings.Result: The findings indicate that the use of generative AI search tools is positively associated with educational research productivity. This relationship is primarily mediated by literature comprehension, academic self-confidence, and research self-regulation, with literature comprehension emerging as the strongest mediating pathway. Qualitative findings further reveal that generative AI functions as an intellectual companion that supports understanding of complex scholarly literature, strengthens research independence, and facilitates more effective management of the research process.Conclusion:  The study demonstrates that the contribution of generative AI to educational research extends beyond technical assistance, operating through researchers’ internal cognitive and psychological processes. By adopting a mediation-based perspective, this study provides a more nuanced explanation of how generative AI search tools support early-career scholars’ research productivity and contributes to a deeper theoretical understanding of AI-supported educational research practices.
