Abstract

Abstract. Alternative assessments in mathematics education face several challenges that need to be designed to measure students' abilities holistically. The objectives of this research are: 1) to determine the feasibility of developing creative alternative mathematics assessments using a design thinking approach, and 2) to assess the effectiveness of mathematics learning using alternative assessments with a design thinking approach. The research sample consists of graduate students from the Mathematics Education program at PGRI University Semarang. This study employs the development model proposed by Plomp J and Nieveen N. The development of creative alternative mathematics assessments using a design thinking approach is analyzed through: a) pretest data, b) posttest data, and c) effectiveness analysis, including n-gain calculations (pretest-posttest) and completeness testing. The findings indicate that: 1) the development of creative alternative mathematics assessments with a design thinking approach is deemed feasible for use, and 2) the effectiveness of alternative mathematics assessments using a design thinking approach is evidenced by: a) an increase in the average learning outcomes of students before and after using the creative alternative mathematics assessment with a design thinking approach, and b) student learning outcomes meeting the completeness criteria when using the creative alternative mathematics assessment with a design thinking approach.  Keywords: Development; Alternative Assessment; Mathematics Learning; Design Thinking

Abstract

Abstract. The aim of this research is to examine the effectiveness of a project-based learning model assisted by educational teaching aids, specifically construction blocks, on students' mathematical creative thinking skills. The research method employed is a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The research instruments consist of observation sheets and student essay tests. Data analysis techniques include individual minimum mastery criteria (MMC) achievement tests, classical completeness tests, pretest-posttest mean difference tests, and N-gain tests. The individual MMC hypothesis test, using a one-sample t-test, yielded a significant value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that after the project-based learning intervention with construction block educational aids, the MMC exceeded 70. The classical completeness test, utilizing Z statistics, resulted in Z_calculated = 3.560545 ≥ Z_table = 0.6736, demonstrating that the proportion of students meeting the minimum mastery criteria exceeded 75%. Furthermore, the mean difference test showed that students' mathematical creative thinking skills increased from 36.82 to 85.15. Additionally, the N-gain test yielded a score of 0.7675, with a percentage of 76.74%, categorizing it as high and effective. Therefore, project-based learning assisted by educational teaching aids, specifically construction blocks, is effective in enhancing students' mathematical creative thinking skills. Keywords: Construction blocks, students' mathematical creative thinking skills.

Abstract

The ability to understand mathematical concepts is very important for students to develop because it can give rise to other mathematical abilities. Therefore, efforts are made to develop it using geogebra-based interactive multimedia. This research aims to find out how effective geogebra-based interactive multimedia is in improving understanding of mathematical concepts. The method in this research is research and development (RnD) with reference to the ADDIE steps. The subjects in this research were 7th-grade junior high school students. The results of this research show that learning GeoGebra-based interactive multimedia on triangles and quadrilaterals is effective in improving the ability to understand mathematical concepts. These results can be seen from the significant regression value, namely the Sig value. 0.007 < 0.05, so it can be said that there is an influence between the ability to understand mathematical concepts of students who are taught using Geogebra-based interactive multimedia learning in the experimental class is better than the ability to understand mathematical concepts of students who are taught with conventional learning (PBL) in the control class. Keywords: Multimedia, Geogebra, Concept mathematical

Abstract

This classroom action research aims to improve students' mathematical representation abilities by applying problem-based learning (PBL) combined with social-emotional learning (SEL). PBL emphasizes problem-based learning, while social-emotional learning is a learning method that supports the development of students' social and emotional competencies. This study consists of two cycles, each containing steps, namely, planning, action, observation, and reflection. The instrument of this study uses a teaching module with the material of a two-variable linear inequality system. This study used subjects of class X 2 students of SMA Negeri 5 Jember in the 2024/2025 Academic Year. The results showed that applying PBL and social-emotional learning (SEL) can improve students' mathematical representation in verbal, visual, and symbolic aspects by 22.5%, from 70.6% to 93.1%. In addition, students' social-emotional competence (SEC) also increased by 21.7%, from 68.8% to 90.4%. Therefore, the integration of SEL in PBL can be an effective strategy for improving students' mathematical representation as well as social-emotional competence (SEC). Keywords: mathematical representation, PBL, SEL

Abstract

In today's increasingly complex life situations, mental health problems can increase, especially among students in Indonesia. Mental health problems that occur in students are related to Self-efficacy regarding the potential they have in achieving something and in dealing with pressure in certain situations. Low Self-efficacy in adolescents can cause emotional and mental disorders. Based on this, this study aims to develop a mentor application to help improve students' mental health through Self-efficacy in solving algebraic form problems. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Kedungtuban, and the subjects of this study were 30 seventh-grade junior high school students. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), and the ADDIE Model design is used. The results of data analysis show that the mentorika application is proven to be valid because it has a significant level of 0.000 < 0.005, feasible because all variables (statements) have a value of r count > r table, and effective because it meets the individual completeness test and classical completeness test, so it can be said that the mentorika application developed is effective in improving students' mental health through Self-efficacy in solving algebraic form problems. The evaluation results show that the effect of student confidence on improving mental health in solving algebraic form problems has increased significantly after using the Mentorika application. Keywords: Mental Health, Self-Efficacy, Algebraic Forms.

Abstract

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 has significantly impacted various aspects of life, including education, particularly using information and communication technology in learning processes. This study employs the Research & Development (R&D) method, aiming to develop the Dakota Game to Improve Conceptual Understanding of GCF (Greatest Common Factor) and LCM (Least Common Multiple) among fifth-grade students. The Dakota educational game was developed using the 4-D development model, although its distribution was limited to the school where the research was conducted. The study involved fifth-grade students at BUQ Betengan Demak Elementary School. Validation results from material and media experts indicate that the developed Dakota educational game is suitable for learning. Additionally, student responses were positive, with an average percentage of 92%. Meanwhile, the pretest results before students used the Dakota Game showed an average score of 75.25, while post-treatment scores after using the game averaged 84.45. This result demonstrates that the Dakota educational game for GCF and LCM material can enhance students' conceptual understanding and meet the criteria for being an effective and appropriate mathematics learning medium for fifth-grade classrooms.Keywords: Dakota Game, Conceptual Understanding, GCF, LCM

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach assisted by Baamboozle media in improving students' learning outcomes in arithmetic sequences. An experimental method with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design was applied to 67 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 1 Jarai, divided into an experimental group (n=34) using PMRI with Baamboozle and a control group (n=33) with conventional instruction. Data were collected through written tests and analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and an independent t-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in the experimental group, with an average post-test score of 80, compared to the control group (70). Statistical analysis reinforced this finding (t = -7.136, p < 0.05), confirming that the integration of PMRI and Baamboozle not only enhanced learning outcomes but also fostered active student engagement. The implications of this study support the use of interactive digital media in context-based mathematics learning approaches.Keywords: PMRI, Baamboozle, arithmetic sequences, learning outcomes, mathematics education
