Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore mathematical concepts embedded in six traditional cultural objects and to examine how these concepts can contribute to contextual mathematics learning through an ethnomathematical perspective. Method: This research employed a qualitative ethnomathematical approach to identify mathematical elements contained in selected cultural artifacts. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and literature analysis of six traditional cultural objects. Each object was examined to identify implicit mathematical structures, including geometric forms, symmetry, spatial relationships, numerical patterns, and proportional reasoning. The analysis focused on interpreting how these mathematical ideas are represented within the design, structure, and functional aspects of the cultural objects. Findings: The results reveal that the six cultural objects contain various mathematical concepts such as geometric shapes, symmetry, measurement, patterns, and proportional relationships. These concepts are reflected in the structural composition, decorative motifs, and spatial arrangements found within the artifacts. The analysis demonstrates that cultural objects can represent mathematical ideas in a concrete and meaningful way, making them relevant resources for mathematics learning. Significance: This study provides evidence that cultural artifacts contain valuable mathematical knowledge that can support culturally responsive mathematics education. The findings highlight the potential of ethnomathematics to bridge cultural knowledge and formal mathematics learning, thereby enhancing students’ conceptual understanding while fostering appreciation for local cultural traditions.

Abstract

Purpose: This study responds to the persistent issue of low mathematical creative thinking among students by exploring its underlying causes and examining the effectiveness of the ADIRE (Auditory, Intellectual, Repetition with Ethnomathematics) learning model when viewed from different learning styles. Method: A mixed-methods approach with a sequential exploratory design was applied. The participants were seventh-grade students. In the qualitative phase, subjects representing visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles were selected purposively. The quantitative phase employed cluster random sampling to assign students into experimental and control groups. Data were gathered through tests, questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and N-gain analysis. Findings: The findings reveal that students’ creative thinking ability remains uneven across learning styles. Visual learners tend to demonstrate more complete achievement of creative thinking indicators, while auditory learners generally require guidance, and kinesthetic learners show limited attainment, mainly at the basic level. The implementation of the ADIRE learning model leads to a noticeable improvement in students’ performance, reflected in higher average scores, fulfillment of minimum mastery criteria, and a moderate level of gain. Significance: These results suggest that learning models which consider students’ learning styles and incorporate ethnomathematical contexts can provide more meaningful learning experiences and contribute to the development of mathematical creative thinking in a more holistic way.

Abstract

Purpose: The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into mathematics education risks fostering "cognitive offloading," in which students passively rely on automated answers rather than developing critical reasoning. Despite this growing concern, prior studies have largely ignored how combining AI with structured, high-impact pedagogy might prevent this technological dependency. Addressing this gap, this study evaluates how integrating GASING pedagogy with AI tools enhances problem-solving proficiency. Specifically, it simplifies complex learning models to investigate how student motivation and mathematical creativity actively mediate the relationship between pedagogy, technology, and cognitive outcomes. Method: Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, quantitative data were collected from 120 secondary school students (Grade 8, ages 13-14) in Jakarta, Indonesia. The structural relationships were tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4. This was followed by a focused qualitative thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews and observations to explain the mechanisms driving the statistical results. Findings: The results confirm a serial mediation model in which GASING Pedagogy positively influences Learning Motivation, which, in turn, enhances Mathematical Creativity. Furthermore, Mathematical Creativity was found to be a significant mediator between AI Adoption and Problem-Solving proficiency. Qualitatively, students perceive the synergy between GASING and AI as simplifying complex tasks and stimulating divergent thinking, positioning human creativity as a critical 'gatekeeper' for validating AI-generated outputs. Significance: This research shifts the discourse from AI dependency toward a distributed cognition framework. Theoretically, it establishes creativity as an essential mediator in digital mathematics pedagogy. In practice, it provides educators with a protocol for balancing automated tools with pedagogical scaffolding, cultivating adaptive problem-solvers capable of rigorous intellectual verification.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the structural relationships among learning motivation, mathematical problem-solving ability, and students’ mathematical critical thinking, with mathematical problem-solving ability modeled as a mediating construct. Method: The study employed Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) involving three main constructs: learning motivation, mathematical problem-solving ability, and mathematical critical thinking skills. Data were collected through performance-based essay tests measuring students’ mathematical problem-solving and critical thinking skills, complemented by a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire to assess learning motivation, involving 124 junior high school students from three schools in Sukabumi City, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Smart-PLS 4. Findings: The results indicate that learning motivation has a significant effect on mathematical problem-solving ability, while problem-solving ability has a strong influence on students’ mathematical critical thinking skills. The direct effect of motivation on critical thinking is significant but smaller than its indirect effect through problem-solving ability. Mediation analysis confirms that problem-solving ability functions as a partial mediator. In addition, The PLS-predict analysis revealed that most indicators exhibited Q² predict values greater than zero and lower prediction errors than the linear model benchmark, indicating that the proposed model demonstrates acceptable out-of-sample predictive power. Significance: Beyond prior motivation–critical thinking studies, this research clarifies the structural pathway through which learning motivation is associated with mathematical critical thinking by positioning mathematical problem-solving ability as a partial mediator in junior high school mathematics learning.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of multimedia-assisted teaching materials in improving students’ mathematical connection skills in an Educational Statistics course. It also explores the conditions under which multimedia-based instruction may or may not outperform conventional teaching methods. Method: A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was employed. The sample consisted of an experimental group (n = 30) that utilized multimedia-assisted teaching materials and a control group (n = 30) that received conventional instruction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, paired-sample t-tests, independent-sample t-tests, and effect size analysis (N-Gain and Cohen’s d). Findings: Both groups demonstrated significant improvement. However, the experimental group showed a substantially greater increase (mean difference = 11.80) compared to the control group (mean difference = 7.24). The independent-sample t-test indicated a statistically significant difference between the two groups (t (58) = -2.25, p = 0.028), favoring the experimental group. Effect size analysis revealed a Cohen’s d of 0.58 (medium effect) and an N-Gain of 0.35 (medium category) for the experimental group, while the control group showed an N-Gain of 0.19 (low category). Significance: These findings suggest that multimedia-assisted learning is not inherently superior; its effectiveness depends on factors such as instructional design quality, cognitive load management, implementation fidelity, and students’ readiness. This study contributes to the literature by offering a more critical perspective on the conditional effectiveness of multimedia in mathematics education and highlights the importance of context-sensitive technology integration.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to systematically explore and analyze geometric transformation concepts embedded in Lipa’ Sabbe weaving from an ethnomathematical perspective and to examine their relevance for culturally responsive mathematics education. Method:  A qualitative ethnographic approach was employed, involving participant observation, in depth interviews, and documentation with purposively selected informants, including a cultural policymaker, a silk entrepreneur, and an experienced traditional weaver in Sengkang, South Sulawesi. The collected data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis and constant comparison techniques to identify patterns related to mathematical activities and geometric transformations. Findings: The findings reveal that Lipa’ Sabbe weaving embodies key geometric transformation concepts, including translation, reflection, rotation, and dilation, which are reflected in the structured arrangement of motifs. In addition, the weaving process involves fundamental mathematical activities such as counting, measuring, designing, locating, playing, and explaining. Significance: These results demonstrate that Lipa’ Sabbe weaving represents a culturally situated mathematical practice, providing a meaningful context for linking abstract geometric concepts with real world cultural experiences. The study contributes to ethnomathematics by offering a systematic analytical framework and highlights its potential for developing culturally grounded mathematics learning.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine how successful mathematics learning is constructed through the dynamic interaction of affective dispositions, cognitive-metacognitive strategies, socio-pedagogical scaffolding, resilience, and epistemological flexibility within post-pandemic online learning environments. Method: An intensive single-case study design was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews with a student and three mathematics teachers as the primary data collection instrument. Data were systematically analyzed through open, axial, and selective coding procedures adapted from grounded theory. Findings: Four interrelated conceptual models emerged from the analysis: (1) the Ecosystemic Formation of Sustainable Learning Identity, (2) the Adaptive Academic Reconstitution Model, (3) Learning Ecosystem Support as an Adaptive Developmental System, and (4) the Adaptive Transitional Learning Ecosystem Model. Collectively, these models reconceptualize mathematical success not as a discrete performance outcome, but as an ecosystemic and developmentally sequenced achievement requiring coherent integration of internal identity formation, strategic regulatory capacity, and adaptive ecosystem support. Significance: These findings carry substantial implications for the development of post-pandemic pedagogical frameworks, advocating for holistic and identity-constitutive approaches that extend beyond mere content remediation in online mathematics education.
