Martin Jr. Nobis, Catherine L. Caparroso — Sat, 15 Jun 2024 12:55:19 +0700

This research examines the influence of parental involvement tactics on students' mathematics homework completion rates, aimed at pinpointing crucial factors and evaluating the efficacy of such strategies. Utilizing a qualitative-quantitative approach, including with students, parents, and teachers, the study identifies distractions, workload, family obligations, and insufficient teacher support as significant barriers to mathematics homework completion. Time management, comprehension, and fatigue also play minor roles. The findings indicate that targeted parental involvement strategies can significantly enhance completion rates, with effective methods including accessible support, designated study spaces, breaking down assignments, fostering student autonomy, and leveraging technology. Additionally, parental involvement fosters stronger parent-child relationships, boosts student confidence, and promotes a positive attitude toward mathematics. To create a conducive learning environment, schools, teachers, and parents should collaborate, implementing recommendations such as creating quiet areas, promoting digital detox initiatives, managing workload, offering targeted support, establishing study environments, and setting clear expectations for mathematics practice.

Virtual learning experimentation with student facilitator and explaining (SFAE) on mathematical representation abilities and understanding mathematics concepts

Sat, 15 Jun 2024 12:56:12 +0700

In the rapidly evolving world of education, particularly within STEM disciplines, innovation in teaching methods is crucial. This study explores the potential of a new learning approach designed to address the deficiencies of traditional methods, with a focus on mathematics at the secondary school level. The researchers aimed to test the effectiveness of a Virtual Learning model using the Student Facilitator and Explaining (SFAE) approach in enhancing mathematical representational skills and conceptual understanding among high school students. A total of 120 students participated in the study, divided into two groups: 60 students in the experimental group received SFAE-based learning, and 60 students in the control group were taught using standard expository methods. Utilizing a control group design and post-test, the research revealed significant improvements in the experimental group's mathematical representation abilities and conceptual understanding compared to the control group. These findings demonstrate that integrating the SFAE approach within virtual learning environments not only broadens the scope but also enhances the quality of mathematical understanding. This study underscores the substantial potential of innovative learning approaches in the digital era, providing effective solutions to challenges in mathematics education.

Pravesh Sharma, Suresh Kumar Sahani, Kritika Sharma, Kameshwar Sahani — Sat, 15 Jun 2024 12:57:59 +0700

Through the perspective of differential equations, the report "Rocket Science Unveiled" explores the amazing invention of rocket propulsion. In order to study, comprehend, and forecast the behavior of rocket engines, differential equations are essential. In order to better understand and analyze this intricate anomaly, the report aims to investigate the underlying mathematics of rocket propulsion and how differential equations work. We apply the differential equation to clarify the fuel consumption and thrust generation rates. In addition, we utilize Newton's rule of motion to explain the relationship among thrust, mass, and acceleration. Working on this study allowed us to discover the anticipated outcome for both position location and spacecraft position determination. For iterative operations, we used Euler's approach because the analytical calculation of differential equations is complicated, we used Euler's method for iterative operations. Knowing the rocket's initial or previous value allows us to locate or establish its placements with ease.

This paper aims to determine students' communication skills and mathematical disposition in implementing problem-based learning strategies using the Geogebra application. This type of research was a quasi-experiment with a control group design. The subjects of this research were classes A and B. The population in this research was all students in the odd semester 2023/2024 who were taking the Plane and Space Geometry course, which consists of two classes that were tested using the t-test with data from the student's final test. Based on calculations of the results of students' mathematical communication skills, specifically the experimental class 81.00 and the control class 71.16. Thus, students' mathematical communication abilities in problem-based learning assisted by Geogebra were better than those in conventional education. On the other hand, the results of students' mathematical disposition abilities were 76.59 for the experimental class and 68.16 for the control class. Thus, students' mathematical disposition abilities in problem-based learning assisted by Geogebra were better than those in conventional education.

Nuryami Nuryami — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 21:34:36 +0700

Numeracy literacy skills play a crucial role in the Independent Learning Curriculum. Currently, students' literacy skills are geared towards more independent learning. With these skills, students can solve problems accurately and develop critical thinking towards their challenges. This study aims to evaluate students' abilities in numeracy literacy in the era of more independent learning. This study focuses on eighth-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Probolinggo, consisting of 28 students who have followed the Independent Curriculum. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, collecting data through written tests with five questions encompassing various aspects of numeracy literacy skills. Indicators for numeracy literacy skills include (1) Using numbers and mathematical symbols to solve everyday problems; (2) Analyzing information in various forms (graphs, tables, etc.; and (3) Interpreting analysis results to predict, formulate, and make decisions. Data were analyzed by calculating the average percentage for each indicator of numeracy literacy skills. The analysis results show that the numeracy literacy skills of junior high school students in the era of independent learning are still at a low level.

Development of mathematics teaching materials: Internalizing Al-Qur'an, Hadith, Madurese culture, and religious moderation

Dewi Rosikhoh — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0700

The existence of a mandate from the Ministry of Religion regarding the integration of religious knowledge and science, as well as the internalization of religious moderation in every subject in class, had implications for the movement to develop learning media. One form of learning media was teaching materials. This development research aimed to design a fraction of teaching materials based on the al-Qur'an and hadith with internalizing religious moderation and Madurese culture for grade V elementary schools in Pamekasan and then test its validity. This research was development research using the ADDIE model. Meanwhile, testing the validity of teaching materials used expert and practitioner validation with questionnaire instruments. The research results showed that based on validation questionnaires for material experts, learning experts, Islamic religious experts, and practitioners, the teaching materials developed could be categorized as valid with an average score of 92%. Thus, teaching materials could be continued at the trial or field test stage. Apart from that, similar teaching materials could be developed on other mathematics topics at the elementary level, or similar teaching materials could be produced on the same issues but by internalizing the culture of each region.
