Using Making Drawing Strategy in Solving a Space Geometry Problem: An Example of Learning Design
Tian Abdul Aziz, Makmuri, Lukman El Hakim

Universitas Negeri Jakarta


Abstract

The study aims to design problem based learning using making a drawing strategy and identify potential students and teachers behaviors. The study is part of an instructional design on space geometry for 10th graders. The seven episodes of Artzt and Armour Thomas problem solving processes describe the process carried out by students in solving problems in which making a drawing is the primary strategy. In addition, this paper uncovers students and teachers behaviors in problem based learning environments. As a result, making a drawing can facilitate students to deal with a problem in which they construct an external representation of the given data and situation. In addition, students behavior can be identified based on their ability, whether they are naive, routine, or sophisticated problem solvers. Finally, understanding teachers behavior can be equated with understanding teachers role in problem solving approaches

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, Jl. Dr. Setiabudhi No. 229, Bandung, Jawa Barat, Indonesia


Abstract

Mathematics is often perceived as a daunting subject for students, which can lead to anxiety even before the learning process
begins. This anxiety can hinder students^ ability to understand the material and complete tasks, negatively impacting their
academic performance. This study aims to explore math anxiety among seventh-grade students and provide pedagogical
recommendations to alleviate this anxiety. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 28
seventh-grade students from a junior high school selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected through in-depth
interviews, questionnaires, and classroom observations. The results indicate that 75% of students experience moderate to
high levels of anxiety, influenced by the transition to more complex learning, pressure from the social environment, and a lack
of emotional support. Math anxiety is divided into four main components: mathematics knowledge, physiological responses,
mindset, and attitude. These findings suggest that anxiety can impede students^ ability to understand and solve mathematical
tasks. Therefore, it is essential for educators to design interactive and collaborative teaching strategies, as well as provide
positive feedback to enhance students^ confidence. This research emphasizes that a deep understanding of math anxiety is
crucial for creating a more positive and productive learning experience for students.

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia


Abstract

This research aims to analyze the needs of prospective mathematics teacher students in learning the Pythagorean Theorem, particularly in terms of understanding concepts, proofs, and the use of learning media. The research was conducted with a descriptive qualitative approach through a survey method. The research sample consisted of 80 students of the Mathematics and Mathematics Education Study Program at a university in Bandung. The results of the study show that, in general, students have understood the basic concepts of the Pythagorean Theorem and showed a positive interest in learning the material. However, most students are not used to using mathematical justification skills systematically in solving problems or proving theorems. In addition, they identified the need for interactive and contextual digital learning media to help understand and independently prove the Pythagorean Theorem. These findings imply the importance of developing and utilizing digital media based on mathematical visualization to support the learning process, strengthen justification skills, and encourage active student engagement.

Abstract

This experimental study investigates the impact of digital task-based learning activities on enhancing arithmetic skills among primary children. The study was conducted with 60 students from Grades 4 and 5, divided equally into control and experimental groups. The experimental group was exposed to a series of digital, task-based activities over three weeks, using tools such as interactive math games, story-based word problems, measurement simulations, and pattern-recognition tasks. The control group continued with traditional instruction.
Arithmetic skills, including fluency in basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, are critical for building a strong numeracy foundation. Given the growing affinity of young learners toward technology, incorporating digital platforms creates a more engaging environment that naturally supports the development of these essential skills.
A Mathematics Achievement Test was administered before and after the intervention to both groups, alongside a Student Engagement and Motivation Scale. The pre-test results indicated no significant difference between the groups. However, post-test analysis using a t-test revealed a statistically significant improvement in the experimental group^s performance across number operations, problem-solving, and data handling skills. Moreover, engagement levels were notably higher in the experimental group, as observed through classroom participation and learner feedback. The findings suggest that digital task-based strategies not only enhance core arithmetic skills but also foster motivation and active participation. The study supports the integration of digital tools in early mathematics education and aligns with the broader goals of NEP 2020 and NIPUN Bharat to strengthen foundational numeracy through innovative pedagogies.

Natasha Clarissa Maharani, Mohamad Muslikh, and Abdul Rouf alghofari

Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, Brawijaya University, 65145 Malang, Indonesia


Abstract

This paper proposes a modified version of the Seagull Optimization Algorithm (SOA), called NuM-SOA, to solve nonlinear fixed point problems. The enhancement involves introducing a decay-based parameter &#957- to dynamically control the exploration behavior of the seagulls during the optimization process. The performance of NuM-SOA is evaluated on three fixed point problems and compared against several methods: the original SOA, the Bat Algorithm (BA) as a representative of swarm intelligence techniques, and state-of-the-art mathematical methods including the SuperMann Algorithm and the Extragradient Method. Experimental results demonstrate that NuM-SOA achieves the lowest mean squared error (MSE) in all three problems and offers high precision in identifying fixed points. While the original SOA and BA show competitive behavior in certain cases, NuM-SOA consistently outperforms them, particularly in terms of accuracy and robustness. These results highlight NuM-SOA^s effectiveness and its potential as a powerful tool for solving nonlinear fixed point problems.

Safrizal Ardana Ardiyansa, Mohamad Muslikh, and Syaiful Anam

Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Brawijaya University


Abstract

This research presents a novel enhancement to the Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm (HOA) through the introduction of a Multiple Predator Strategy (MPS) aimed at improving exploratory capability in solving constrained engineering design problems. The proposed MPS-HOA was evaluated on eight classical benchmark problems. Quantitative analysis demonstrates that MPS-HOA outperforms the conventional HOA in terms of both solution quality and robustness. Notably, in the pressure vessel design problem, the MPS-HOA achieved an average best fitness of 2.6138 x 10^3 with a standard deviation of 3.3852, representing a 2.97% improvement in accuracy and a 96.85% reduction in performance variability compared to the HOA. For the cantilever beam problem, optimal performance was obtained using 6 predators, yielding a fitness value of 1.344 x 10^0 with lower variance and a computation time of 13.8 seconds. Although computational cost increases linearly with predator count, from 9.1 seconds (1 predator) to 29.6 seconds (20 predators), the trade-off is justified by enhanced optimization outcomes. The results confirm that the proposed MPS-HOA offers a robust, accurate, and efficient approach for solving complex, nonlinear, and highly constrained design optimization problems.

Abstract

Let E be a row-finite directed graph without sources. Let G be an amenable discrete groupoid. The groupoid G acts self-similarly on E with the unit space G^{((0))} =E^{0}. We write this self-similar action of G on E as the pair (G,E). To our more general situation, we follow Brownlowe et al (2023) to construct two groupoids associated with (G,E), namely the groupoid S_{(G,E)} &#8905-E^&#8734- and G_{(G,E)}. We explore the interplay between the groupoid S_{(G,E)}&#8905-E^&#8734- and G_{(G,E)} and how powerful they are.

Abstract

This study analyzes the results of instrument validation using the Content Validity Index (CVI) and the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) to assess the NanoPintar e-module in Cell Biology. The aim is to compare the validity of both methods and guide the selection of the most suitable approach for instrument validation. The CVI analysis shows unanimous agreement among three experts, with an I-CVI and S-CVI score indicating perfect consensus, where the S-CVI (AVE) reached 1.0. This suggests that all items in the instrument are highly relevant and valid, making CVI ideal for situations where expert consensus is easily achieved and a simple quantitative measure of validity is desired. In contrast, FDM applies fuzzy ratings to each item, handling uncertainty in expert opinions. Fuzzy scores are defuzzified to calculate an overall consensus score, indicating that all items were accepted by the expert panel, with their priority ranked accordingly. FDM is more flexible, especially for complex or subjective constructs. Both methods confirm the validity of the NanoPintar e-module, with the choice between CVI and FDM depending on the instrument^s complexity and the need for flexibility in expert opinions.

Abstract

Mathematics anxiety refers to feelings of discomfort, worry, or fear experienced by individuals, particularly students, when engaging with mathematical tasks. This study aims to examine the influence of mathematics anxiety on high school students^ problem-solving abilities in answering Computer-Based Written Examination (UTBK) questions. A quantitative approach with an ex-post facto design was employed, involving 32 twelfth-grade students from SMA Negeri 17 Bandung selected through purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of a mathematics anxiety questionnaire adapted from the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale (RMARS), a problem-solving test using Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) UTBK questions, and supporting interviews. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression after fulfilling classical assumption tests, including normality, linearity, and heteroscedasticity. The results indicated that mathematics anxiety had a negative and significant effect on problem-solving ability, with a regression coefficient of -0.955 and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.460, meaning that 46% of the variance in problem-solving ability was explained by mathematics anxiety, while the remaining 54% was influenced by other unexamined factors. These findings confirm that higher levels of mathematics anxiety are associated with lower problem-solving performance, particularly on HOTS-based UTBK questions. The implications highlight the importance of emotionally supportive teaching strategies, structured practice, and psychological guidance to reduce mathematics anxiety and enhance students^ problem-solving skills.

Abstract

This study investigates the nature and extent of conceptual misconceptions held by elementary school teachers in interpreting and modeling the mathematical concept of division. Motivated by the recognition that students^ misunderstandings often originate from teachers^ inadequate conceptual grasp, particularly regarding the use of partitive and quotitive models, this research addresses a critical gap in the literature on teachers^ mathematical representations. Although division is a foundational concept in mathematics instruction, limited empirical research has explored how teachers misconstrue its meanings in classroom contexts. Employing a descriptive qualitative design within a multiple-case study framework, the study involved 80 fifth-grade teachers from four major Indonesian cities: Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, and Surabaya. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and lesson plan analysis. Thematic analysis was used to identify recurring patterns of misconception across instructional practices. Findings in this study revealed misconception among many teachers in distinguishing between the partitive (repeated substraction) and quotitive (equal sharing) interpretations of division. This confusion results in the use of inappropriate, rigid, or overly simplified concrete models. The misconception distort mathematical representations and contribute directly to the propagation of student misconceptions. The most prominent patterns occurred during story problem interpretation, where teachers struggled to match the semantic structure with the appropriate division model. These conceptual misconceptions not only distort instructional representations but also contribute into students way of thinking. These findings highlights the urgent need for targeted professional development programs. Those would emphasize semantic analysis of word problems and the flexible use of multiple representations. Such interventions are essential to help teachers deliver instruction that fosters conceptual understanding beyond procedural fluency. Aligning teacher training with findings in this study may prevent the transfer of fundamental misconceptions to students and promote deeper mathematical thinking in early education contexts.

Gamified Interactive Assessment for Enhancing Mathematics Learning and Reducing Assessment Anxiety: A Design-Based Research Study
Rizki Amalia, Tatang Herman

Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia


Abstract

Assessment plays a crucial role in mathematics education- however, traditional approaches often increase students^ anxiety levels and limit their engagement, which may hinder optimal learning outcomes. While gamification has been widely applied in various educational contexts, its integration into mathematics assessment remains underexplored. This study introduces a gamified interactive assessment framework aimed at enhancing mathematics learning performance and alleviating assessment-related anxiety. Using a Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, the study followed three iterative phases: (1) problem identification and needs analysis, (2) prototype development and expert validation, and (3) classroom implementation and refinement. The participants comprised 33 secondary school students and 3 mathematics teachers from Langsa City, Aceh. Data were collected using pre- and post-tests to measure learning outcomes, the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale to assess anxiety levels, and qualitative instruments including classroom observations and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired t-tests, while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement in students^ mathematics achievement scores (p < 0.05) alongside a measurable reduction in reported assessment anxiety. Qualitative findings indicated increased student engagement, enjoyment, and a perception of fairness in the assessment process. These findings demonstrate that gamified interactive assessment offers a promising alternative to conventional assessment methods, with potential to foster both cognitive and affective gains in secondary mathematics education. The approach may be adapted to other subjects and educational levels to promote more engaging and supportive assessment environments.

Abstract

Mathematics anxiety is a common emotional response that can influence students^ attitudes, confidence, and performance in mathematics. In Indonesian Islamic elementary schools, where learning integrates religious values with academic content, understanding the profile of mathematics anxiety is essential for supporting both cognitive and affective development. This study examines the level of mathematics anxiety among 59 fifth-grade Indonesian Islamic students, its variation by gender, and its relationship with numeracy skills. Mathematics anxiety was measured using an adapted version of the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS), while numeracy skills were assessed through a curriculum-based numeracy test. The results showed that students^ mathematics anxiety was generally low, with a mean score of 17.9. Independent samples t-test analysis revealed no significant difference in mathematics anxiety levels between boys and girls. Pearson correlation analysis indicated an almost negligible relationship between mathematics anxiety and numeracy skills. Furthermore, simple linear regression analysis showed that mathematics anxiety did not significantly predict numeracy performance. These findings suggest that, in this context, mathematics anxiety is relatively consistent across genders and has minimal association with students^ numeracy achievement. The generally low level of mathematics anxiety observed among students may be linked to teacher-led interventions that foster a relaxed, encouraging, and non-threatening learning environment.

Abstract

In Indonesia Curricula, studies about algebra especially variable, coefficients, constant, and the used for modelling is first time introduced at Junior High School level. To learn about it, arithmetic thinking skills are used as prerequisite materials. However many studies reveal that students at various educational levels struggle in solving algebraic problems, So is necessary to investigate student learning obstacles when they solve about algebraic problems. This case study, involving 30 eighth-grade students in Palu, Indonesia, aimed to uncover the obstacles that contributing to these students difficulties. Data were collected through the administration a test 6 problem about algebra, and then analyzing student responses, and lastly in-depth interviews with six students. The findings indicate that students^ struggles stem from a fundamental lack of understanding regarding the purpose of learning algebra after mastering arithmetic. This lack of purpose led to several key issues namely a. students felt comfortable on their arithmetic thinking skills, b. they could solve routine algebraic problems but struggled with unfamiliar ones, and c. they had difficulty creating effective formulas or models for problem solving.

Abstract

Studies on convexity such as convex sets, convex functions, concave functions, convex metric spaces, and their variations have been carried out by researchers. One of the topics about the variation of convexity that has not been widely studied is W-convex and W-concave functions on convex metric space. Therefore, this study examines the relation between W-convex and W-concave based on the properties possessed. The method used is adapting and modifying the relation of convex and concave functions with the properties of W-convex and W-concave functions. It is obtained that the negative of W-convex function is W-concave and conversely. This invention also reveals that the properties of W-convex and W-concave functions have relations.

Abstract

The Pythagorean theorem is a fundamental concept in mathematics that is widely used in various fields, such as physics and engineering. The Pythagorean theorem is important for students to learn. However, many students have difficulty in solving Pythagorean theorem problems. Based on the literature study, it was revealed that students^ difficulties occurred due to learning obstacles, which were strengthened by the results of the preliminary study. This study aims to analyze the presentation of the Pythagorean theorem topic in the mathematics textbook of the grade VIII independent curriculum based on praxeology. To achieve this goal, the research was carried out using a qualitative method of the hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Data collection through data triangulation, namely written tests, interviews, and document studies. At the data collection stage, there were 30 students and two teachers who participated. To maintain the credibility of the research, at the analysis stage, focus group discussions were carried out and the ATLAS.ti software was used. The results of the study show that in some of the sentences in the textbooks of multi-interpretation students, there are inconsistencies between the images in the sample questions and in the discussion, the incompatibility between the content of the questions and the existing theory, and the incompatibility between the context of the questions and the reality in the field. The tasks are incoherent, and there is no chance for students to develop their own techniques and convey their meaning. The implications of the presentation of material in student textbooks reveal the existence of didactical obstacles- in addition, it also reveals ontogenic obstacles and epistemological obstacles in solving the problem of the Pythagorean theorem. Further research can develop a hypothetical learning trajectory and its didactic design.

Abstract

This paper proposes an integrated framework combining the Binary Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm (BHOA) and Random Forest (RF) for feature selection and classification in chronic kidney disease (CKD) prediction. Evaluated on the UCI CKD dataset, the proposed method examines four different S-shaped transfer functions to guide the binary search process. Results show that transfer function T_(S_2 ) achieved the highest final fitness score of 0.9421 +- 0.0024, effectively balancing accuracy with feature sparsity, while transfer function T_(S_4 ) attained the highest f_1-score of 0.9545 +- 0.0208, emphasizing classification performance. These findings highlight the critical influence of transfer function design in binary optimization and demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach to build accurate and interpretable predictive models for medical decision support.

Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various aspects of education, offering significant potential to improve the quality of mathematics learning. While much research has focused on cognitive benefits, affective aspects such as student motivation, interest, and engagement are often less explored. This study aims to systematically examine how AI integration impacts student motivation, interest, and engagement in mathematics learning across various educational levels. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, this systematic review synthesizes findings from 12 relevant, peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2025, which were selected from six reputable international databases. The results of the analysis show that the use of AI-such as ChatGPT, AI-based gamification, and other generative platforms-significantly and positively impacts student motivation, interest, and engagement. This improvement is achieved through personalized, interactive, and contextual learning approaches that can reduce students^ cognitive load. While this positive impact was found at all education levels, research is most dominant at the secondary school level, and the study identifies a literature gap at the primary and tertiary education levels. Furthermore, a key finding includes implementation challenges related to teachers^ readiness to optimally integrate AI. Therefore, the successful utilization of AI depends on aligning the type of technology with pedagogical goals and strengthening the professional capacity of teachers to create effective, sustainable learning oriented towards enhancing students^ affective aspects.

Abstract

Critical thinking is one of the essential 21st-century skills that must be fostered in mathematics learning, particularly in Calculus courses. However, evidence suggests that students often struggle to develop this skill due to the dominance of conventional learning methods that provide limited opportunities to engage with interactive digital media. This study investigated the effectiveness of applying flipped mobile-based microlearning integrated with GeoGebra in problem-based calculus learning to foster students^ critical thinking skills. quantitative quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test was employed, involving 120 university students enrolled in calculus courses at Universitas Sebelas April, Sumedang, Indonesia. The students were equally divided into an experimental group and a control group, with 60 participants in each group. The data collection instrument has been a critical thinking test that has been validated and tested for reliability. The results have indicated that the group using the flipped mobile-based microlearning model supported by GeoGebra has shown a more significant improvement in critical thinking skills compared to the group that did not use GeoGebra. The use of GeoGebra has enabled the dynamic visualization of calculus concepts, while the flipped microlearning approach via mobile devices has provided high flexibility and independence in learning. The study concluded that incorporating GeoGebra into the flipped mobile-based microlearning model effectively enhanced students^ critical thinking skills in problem-based calculus learning. These results provide valuable contributions to advancing technology-driven learning innovations within higher education.

Abstract

Mathematical communication has been recognized as one of the essential abilities that students must possess, especially in statistics courses. However, many students have faced difficulties in expressing mathematical ideas and concepts clearly and systematically. This study has aimed to explore the effectiveness of the synergy between the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning model and R software (TPS-R) in enhancing students^ mathematical communication abilities. The study has employed an experimental design with pre-tests and post-tests to measure mathematical communication abilities before and after the implementation of the learning model. The subjects of the study have been computer science students enrolled in a statistics course. The instrument used has been a mathematical communication test that assesses students^ ability to convey statistical concepts mathematically. The results have shown that the implementation of the TPS model combined with the use of R software (TPS-R) has resulted in a significant improvement in students^ mathematical communication abilities. This model has not only enhanced conceptual understanding but also encouraged active interaction among students, which, in turn, has enriched their understanding of the material taught. The synergy between TPS and R software has contributed positively, which are expected to be adopted in statistics education at the university level
