Abstract

Mathematics learning in vocational high schools is still teacher-centred and relies on structured exercises, leaving little room for students to develop a conceptual understanding. The open-ended approach can be a solution because it allows students to explore various strategies for solving mathematical problems in depth. However, its implementation in vocational high schools remains limited. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the open-ended approach in improving the mathematical understanding of vocational high school students. A quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design was used. The sample consisted of 72 students in the 11th-grade of Computer and Network Engineering, selected based on previously formed classes. Data were obtained through a mathematical understanding test that measured students' ability to identify, use, and apply the concepts of sequences and series to solve everyday problems. The test instrument consisted of three essay questions, with a maximum score of four for each item. As the data were not normally distributed, the Mann-Whitney U test analysis was used. The results showed that the increase in mathematical understanding of the group of students who received the open-ended approach was significantly better than that of the group who received direct learning.

Abstract

The 21st century requires every individual to possess creative thinking skills to face increasingly complex challenges. This skill can be developed through learning mathematics. This study aimed to determine the quality of challenge-based learning assisted by virtual reality STEAM Trails in the context of the Pekalongan Batik Museum to improve mathematical creative thinking skills. The method used in this study was design research. The participants of this study were 30 ninth-grade students at a junior high school in Pekalongan, Indonesia. The data collection techniques included validation sheets, questionnaires, and tests. Qualitative data analysis techniques were used to analyse the students' responses after learning. Quantitative data analysis techniques were used to analyse mathematical creative thinking skills based on the pretest and posttest results. Validity was analysed based on the validation results by three validators, and practicality was analysed based on the results of the practicality questionnaire by five students from the experimental group. The results of this study showed a significant increase in the pre- and post-test results. Additionally, the results of the student response questionnaire indicated high satisfaction with the learning process. Further research is needed to develop VR for other contexts.

Abstract

Textbooks play a crucial role in the learning process, influencing instructional practices and students' cognitive development. However, some textbooks fail to support students in constructing new knowledge because of a lack of gradual concept progression. Consequently, textbook analysis has become a key focus of educational research. This study analysed a seventh-grade mathematics textbook on integers using the praxeology framework. It examines the material structure and identifies potential learning obstacles to learning. As part of Didactical Design Research (DDR) at the prospective stage, this study adopts an interpretive paradigm and qualitative approach. The praxeology framework, derived from the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic (ATD), serves as an analytical lens for this study. The researchers conducted an in-depth analysis of praxeological components, including task types, techniques, technologies, and the underlying theories. The findings revealed that the textbook systematically presented integer content but lacked support for epistemic knowledge construction. Additionally, potential didactic and ontogenic obstacles were identified. The findings contribute theoretically by demonstrating the framework’s application to textbook analysis. Practically, it guides the alignment of mathematical tasks with learning goals and reduces the learning obstacles. The results inform policy by emphasising the development of contextually and pedagogically relevant textbooks, rather than direct adaptation.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is an essential competency in mathematics education that plays a crucial role in equipping students to meet the demands of the 21st century. However, students' mathematical literacy in Indonesia remains low. This study aimed to investigate how problem-based learning (PBL) with virtual reality (VR) technology in STEM education, contextualised within the complex of Arjuna Temple in Dieng, could be designed to enhance mathematical literacy. The study employed a design research method involving tenth-grade students at a senior high school in Wonosobo, Indonesia. Qualitative techniques were used to analyse students' responses to the implemented learning, while quantitative techniques were applied to analyse students' pretest and posttest results. The study produced a learning design validated by three experts and deemed practical by five practitioners. The results indicated a significant improvement in students' pre- and post-test scores. Students also provided positive feedback regarding the developed learning program. Given these results, Problem-Based Learning with Virtual Reality STEM education technology contextualised to the Arjuna Dieng Temple complex was considered a viable approach to enhancing mathematical literacy.

Abstract

Despite the growing recognition of ethnomathematics as a bridge between culture and formal mathematics education, limited research has explored the mathematical knowledge embedded in regional cultural artifacts such as Batik Pendekar from Madiun City, Indonesia. This study aims to uncover the mathematical activities, concepts, and anthropological aspects inherent in the Batik Pendekar tradition to support culturally responsive mathematics education. This research employed a qualitative ethnographic approach. This research was conducted at the Batik Murni Madiun City Gallery by collecting data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were analysed qualitatively using triangulation methods. The findings reveal that artisans engage in meaningful mathematical practices, such as measuring fabric dimensions, counting dye usage and production costs, and designing motifs based on geometric principles. The mathematical concepts embedded in Batik Pendekar include geometry, triangular shapes, and transformation geometry (translation and reflection). Additionally, anthropological aspects, such as local wisdom, social values, and symbolic meanings, are integral to these activities. The study concludes that Batik Pendekar serves as a rich ethnomathematical resource, offering opportunities to bridge mathematics learning with local culture and enhance contextual understanding in mathematics education.

Abstract

Students with special needs, including those with speech impairments, often face challenges in learning mathematics and therefore require specialised strategies, such as scaffolding, to enhance their mathematical understanding. This study aimed to examine how scaffolding strategies support students with speech impairments in overcoming difficulties in learning mathematics in a special school setting. This qualitative case study involved one teacher and five students with speech impairments, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observations, tests, interviews, and audio and video recordings. Data analysis was conducted in three stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The findings show that the teacher’s scaffolding aligned with six aspects of the Mäkinen and Mäkinen framework: activation, presence, sensitivity, assistance, trust, and autonomy. Activation and assistance were the most strongly associated with improved conceptual understanding. The students demonstrated the ability to define, represent, and calculate the perimeter of squares and rectangles. Visual aids, concrete objects, and multimodal communication (oral, gestural, and sign language) enhanced understanding. Integrating visual, kinesthetic, and nonverbal strategies provides meaningful support for students with speech impairments, and the six-dimensional scaffolding framework serves as a practical guide for inclusive instructional design.

Abstract

Although critical thinking is vital in 21st-century learning, mathematics classes often emphasise procedures over reasoning. Few studies have explored how students’ characteristics (learning styles, thinking habits, and cognitive abilities) interact with contextual learning approaches such as Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI). This study aimed to describe the students’ critical thinking using PMRI as a learning approach, specifically by analysing how these abilities vary based on students’ learning styles, thinking habits, and cognitive ability levels. The context of water pH was used to explore the measures of central tendency. Students were observed based on their learning styles, thinking habits, and cognitive abilities. This study used a descriptive qualitative method with 29 eighth-grade students from junior high school in Palembang. Data were collected through tests, questionnaires (learning styles and thinking habits), and the participants’ academic records. The data were analysed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s model, which involves data reduction, presentation, and conclusions. The results show that female students tend to possess “quite critical category”, while male students also show “quite critical category” category when analysed by learning style, but lower in thinking habits and cognitive ability. This implies that teaching should consider students' differences to support the development of critical thinking.

Abstract

Students enrolled in Informatics Engineering Education programs frequently encounter substantial obstacles in mastering Discrete Mathematics, a fundamental subject that necessitates perseverance, logical reasoning, and effective study strategies. These challenges are often compounded by negative perceptions of mathematics, lack of perseverance in learning, and ineffective study habits. In this context, it is imperative to investigate non-cognitive factors that may influence students’ academic performance (SAP), such as mathematics resilience (MR), attitudes and learning habits (ALH), and gender. This study endeavours to examine the extent to which MR, ALH, and gender contribute to SAP in Discrete Mathematics. A quantitative ex post facto correlational design was employed, involving a sample of 50 third-semester students selected through proportional random sampling methods. Data were collected using standardised questionnaires assessing MR and ALH, along with academic records from the targeted course. The findings indicate that both MR and ALH significantly influence students’ academic performance. Among these factors, ALH emerged as the most influential contributor to academic success. In contrast, gender did not have any substantial impact on students’ achievement. These results emphasize the significance of non-cognitive factors—particularly resilience and effective learning behaviors—in supporting students’ success in mathematics-related coursework.

Abstract

In the era of modernisation, conceptual understanding and mathematical representation are key components of education. However, many students still encounter difficulties in understanding and accurately representing rectangular prisms. This study addresses the need for innovative learning by examining students' experiences in understanding and representing rectangular prisms through a Role-Playing Game-based educational game and module. This study employed a qualitative method to understand the experiences of 17 eighth-grade junior high school students in learning rectangular prisms through an RPG game and a supplementary module. Data were collected through observation, module analysis, and documentation and then analysed thematically. The findings revealed that while some students found it easier to grasp concepts through visual exploration, others struggled to apply these concepts flexibly beyond the game. Students who actively engaged in gameplay demonstrated a deeper understanding and were better able to make meaningful conceptual connections. Although verbal representation improved significantly, symbolic representation remained challenging for some students. This study emphasises the importance of designing educational games that support conceptual understanding and representation skills. The implications of this study highlight the need for the development of interactive learning media that can facilitate students' conceptual connections and foster their mathematical representation skills.

Abstract

Preschool education is important for developing children’s social and cognitive skills, with early mathematical ability being a strong predictor of future success. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Preschool Home Mathematics Questionnaire (PHMQ) using Rasch Model Analysis. A total of 95 parents and guardians of preschool-aged children participated in the study. A total of 37 Likert-scale items were analysed. The results showed excellent person reliability (0.93) and item reliability (0.96), indicating strong consistency and well-targeted item difficulty. Of the 37 items, 32 were valid according to the Rasch fit criteria, while five items (Q13, Q15, Q22, Q24, and Q26) showed misfit based on the Outfit mean square (MNSQ), Z-standard (ZSTD), and PTMEA-CORR. The Likert scale functioned well with ordered thresholds and smooth transitions between categories. The unidimensionality test confirmed that the PHMQ measures a single construct, with 44.1% of the variance explained and only 12.8% unexplained in the first contrast. While the PHMQ shows good validity and reliability, this study focused only on basic Rasch validation. Future research should explore differential item functioning (DIF), item bias, and long-term stability to further improve this instrument and support its use in different settings.
