Abstract

Students' ability to solve mathematical adaptive reasoning problems is still relatively low. As a result, students have difficulty in solving mathematical adaptive reasoning problems. The cause of the low mathematical adaptive reasoning ability of students is the lack of learning tools that facilitate mathematical adaptive reasoning ability. Therefore, a Collaborative Problem Solving-based tool was developed that can stimulate an active learning process, motivate students and improve mathematical adaptive reasoning skills. This research is a development research using the Plomp development model. The products developed are lesson plans and worksheets based on Collaborative Problem Solving for class VIII junior high school statistics material. The purpose of this research is to produce Collaborative Problem Solving-based tools that are valid, practical, and effective on the mathematical adaptive reasoning skills of grade VIII junior high school students. The results showed that the learning tools in the form of lesson plans and LKS based on Collaborative Problem Solving for students in grade VIII junior high school were valid, practical, and effective. The results of the validation of the learning tools developed are very valid, adjusting 5 indicators of mathematical adaptive reasoning skills seen from the aspects of making conjectures, providing reasons for the answers given, drawing conclusions from a statement, checking the validity of an argument, and finding patterns from a mathematical problem. The results of the practicality of learning devices are very practical in terms of ease of use, suitability of time allocation, attractiveness and usefulness. Furthermore, it is said to be effective because it has an impact on students' mathematical adaptive reasoning ability of 82.70% with a very good category.

Abstract

 Perangkat pembelajaran merupakan acuan dalam melaksanakan pembelajaran agar tercapainya tujuan pembelajaran. Tujuan pelaksanaan pembelajaran matematika ialah mengembangkan kemampuan peserta didik dalam memecahkan masalah matematis semaksimal mungkin. Berdasarkan hasil studi literatur dan analisis pendahuluan, kebanyakan perangkat pembelajaran yang ada masih bersifat umum, maksudnya perangkat pembelajaran yang dirancang tidak dikaitkan dengan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis. Dengan demikian, menghasilkan perangkat pembelajaran berbasis Guided Discovery Learning berupa Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran dan Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik dengan kriteria valid, praktis, dan efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis peserta didik merupakan tujuan dari penelitian ini. Peserta didik kelas XI SMAN 2 Lubuk Basung merupakan subjek dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini ialah penelitian pengembangan dengan pendekatan model Ploomp. Untuk pengumpulan data penelitian, instrumen yang digunakan adalah lembar validasi RPP dan LKPD, angket responden, lembari observasi keterlaksanaan RPP, dan soal tes pemecahan masalah matematis. Penelitian menunjukan bahwa perangkat pembelajaran yang dikembangkan berada di kategori sangat valid untuk RPP dan LKPD, kemudian analisis uji praktikalitas menunjukan bahwa LKPD yang dikembangkan praktis dengan kategori sangat praktis, dan hasil uji efektivitas menunjukan perangkat pembelajaran efektif dengan kategori sangat baik. Learning tools are a reference in implementing learning to achieve learning objectives. The implementation of mathematics learning aims to improve students' ability to solve mathematical problems as much as possible. Based on the results of literature studies and preliminary analysis, most of the existing learning tools are still general, meaning that the learning tools designed are not associated with mathematical problem-solving skills. Thus, producing Guided Discovery Learning-based learning tools in the form of Learning Implementation Plans and Learner Worksheets with valid, practical, and effective criteria for developing students' ability to solve mathematical problems is the goal of this study. Students of class XI SMAN 2 Lubuk Basung are the subjects in this study. This research is development research with the Ploomp approach. To collect research data, lesson plan and learner worksheet validation sheets, respondents' questionnaires, lesson plan implementation observation sheets, and mathematical problem-solving test questions were the instruments of this study. The research shows that the learning tools developed are in the very valid category. The analysis of the practicality test shows that the learner worksheet developed is practical with a convenient category, and the results of the effectiveness test show that the learning tools are effective with a very good category.

Abstract

AbstractThe understanding of students, their learning methods, and cognitive characteristics are important aspects of classroom learning management. Fractional math problems require reasoning and mathematical logic, so to complete the gap in previous research, namely how types of intelligence form patterns of student thought processes, this study examines the level of student understanding and problem-solving strategies for fractions based on STIFin intelligence characteristics. This research uses a mixed-method approach in data collection. The research instrument uses the Fraction Sense Test (FST) and interviews and STIFin tests. The study involved 16 fourth-grade students of SD 47 Kota Jambi. The results showed that students with the thinking intelligence type scored the highest compared to sensing, intuiting, and feeling. Furthermore, there are four strategies students use in developing problem-solving strategies for fractions: (1) comparing fractions using other simple benchmark fractions like ½, (2) comparing fractions based on the denominator and numerator, (3) creating a fraction representation in the form of flat shapes to understand and compare fractions.

Abstract

Selama beberapa tahun terakhir, etnomatematika khususnya di Indonesia didominasi oleh kajian tentang eksplorasi konsep serta aktivitas matematis pada hasil budaya lokal namun minim manifestasi dalam konteks pembelajaran. Etnomatematika belum banyak menyentuh aspek-aspek pendidikan matematika formal termasuk problematika yang muncul. Pada penelitian ini suatu objek fraktal dirancang berdasarkan pola motif pada songket Lombok serta bentuk implikasinya dalam pembelajaran berbasis etno-STEM. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan yang menggunakan model ADDIE. Penelitian ini terdiri atas tiga tahapan yaitu analysis, design dan develop dimana tahap design terdiri atas dua fase, yaitu: fase pengembangan objek fraktal berdasarkan motif songket Lombok dan fase pengembangan bahan ajar berbasis etno-STEM. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa motif songket Lombok dapat digunakan sebagai pola dasar dalam perancangan suatu objek fraktal. Aplikasi MATLAB digunakan untuk memvisualisasikan objek fraktal tersebut. Adapun bahan ajar berbentuk slide PowerPoint dan lembar  kerja mahasiswa memuat kaidah-kaidah geometri transformasi pada bidang, transformasi affine 2-dimensi dan penerapannya untuk merancang model matematika dari objek fraktal. Hasil uji validitas oleh dua orang ahli menunjukkan bahwa bahan ajar telah dinyatakan valid serta dapat digunakan pada tahap uji coba lapangan di masa mendatang.

Abstract

Prior knowledge is one of the primary factors in the birth of ideas in computational thinking. Solving problems in the 21st century requires computational thinking skills. The computational thinking process involves abstraction, design, decomposition, algorithms, and verification. Research was conducted to describe students' computational thinking processes in solving contextual problems based on previous knowledge. The research process uses qualitative with an explanatory approach. A total of 40 students were grouped into low, medium, and high prior knowledge categories. One subject was taken in each category using purposive sampling. Tests and interviews were carried out for data collection. Data analysis consists of data reduction, presentation, and conclusions. The research results show that students in the high and medium prior knowledge categories wholly and correctly prove each computational thinking stage. Students can present problems visually, explain the flow of solution ideas used, write down the steps in detail and precisely, and check all solutions and final conclusions. Students in the low prior knowledge category need to improve at the design and algorithm stages—students' errors in interpreting the problem abstractly so that there is some misinformation. As a result, the completion steps and wrong results are obtained at the algorithm stage. The research results can be used to determine learning strategies in the classroom so that computational thinking skills increase.

Abstract

Creative thinking skills are essential in mathematics learning to address 21st-century challenges. This study aims to describe the creative thinking abilities of students with theorist and pragmatist learning styles in solving problems on number operations. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with two subjects representing theorist and pragmatist learning styles, selected using purposive sampling from 27 seventh-grade students. The research instruments included the Learning Style Questionnaire (LSQ), problem-solving tests, and interview guidelines. Data were collected through questionnaires, tests, and interviews, then analyzed based on the indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The results revealed that students with a theorist learning style tend to produce structured and logical solutions, utilizing various approaches but showing limited innovation. Conversely, students with a pragmatist learning style demonstrated more practical and flexible approaches, along with originality through unique strategies, although their accuracy depended on precise assumptions. In conclusion, creative thinking abilities are influenced by students’ learning styles. Teachers are advised to provide exercises targeting all aspects of creative thinking to enhance the variation and quality of students' solutions.Kemampuan berpikir kreatif merupakan keterampilan penting dalam pembelajaran matematika untuk menghadapi tantangan abad ke-21.

Abstract

The involvement of students with special needs is demonstrated by dialogue in study groups in mathematics learning in inclusive classes. Therefore, the teacher must consider forming groups to create this dialogue. Based on the results of observations, the obstacles that occur in the involvement of students with special needs in the group discussion process, according to respondents, are that not all group members understand ABK students, the speed of ABK students in absorbing information is slower, and the lack of communication between ABK and non-ABK friends. This article aims to: 1) describe the dialogue that occurs between ABK students Slow Learner with the teacher at the beginning and end of learning activities, as well as dialogue with colleagues in study groups in core activities; 2) know the characteristics of study groups that help ABK students Slow Learner understand the material in class. The research subject was a class VII ABK Slow Learner student at SMPN 14 Banjarmasin. Research findings show that ABK demonstrates verbal dialogue in class and group discussions. ABK students tend to pay attention to their friends' answers and repeat them. Apart from dialogue in verbal form, ABK students show gestures to show their involvement in the discussion. In forming groups, the teacher considers colleagues who have been sitting close to ABK as group friends for ABK. The choice of gender in group formation is also a consideration for the teacher. Study groups of male and female students allow ABK to interact more actively.
