Kajian Keterampilan Metaphorical Thinking Siswa pada Materi Lingkaran
This study aims to examine students’ metaphorical thinking skills in the topic of circles. Metaphorical thinking is a higher-order cognitive ability that enables students to relate abstract mathematical concepts to real-life experiences through six thinking stages: Connect, Relate, Explore, Analyze, Transform, and Experience (CREATE). This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving eleventh-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Kota Jambi. Data were collected through observation, written tests on circle material, and semi-structured interviews. The results show that most students were able to connect circle concepts to real-life situations (Connect indicator) and identify relationships among circle elements (Relate indicator). However, some students still faced difficulties in the Explore and Analyze stages, which require deeper conceptual reasoning. The study concludes that metaphorical thinking skills play an essential role in helping students meaningfully and contextually understand circle concepts
Tinjauan Literatur Sistematis tentang Penerapan Pemrograman Linear untuk Optimalisasi dalam Konteks Pendidikan
This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the application of Linear Programming (LP) in optimizing educational management. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), with the literature selection process following the PRISMA framework by reviewing articles from the Scopus database published between 2015 and 2025. The analysis reveals that LP plays a significant role in addressing educational challenges such as class scheduling, resource allocation, and budget management. Moreover, the application of LP also contributes to the development of students’ analytical skills through practical mathematical modeling. The findings indicate that LP not only offers optimization solutions in educational management but also enhances students’ analytical abilities through data-driven decision-making and mathematical modeling. However, the study also identifies several critical gaps, including the lack of LP integration into basic curricula, limitations of models in accounting for social and emotional variables, and challenges in dealing with uncertain data. The study recommends the development of more contextual and integrative LP-based learning models using a multi-criteria approach. The novelty of this research lies in the formulation of a conceptual framework that combines LP with real-world, project-based interdisciplinary learning as a foundation for developing data-driven educational innovations.

Kruskal-Wallis Analysis in Determining Differences in Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability Based on Level of Learning Interest
Mathematics demands high-level thinking skills, especially in problem-solving, and is characterized by systematic and logical reasoning. Beyond cognitive aspects, affective factors such as students’ interest in learning also influence their engagement and success. This study investigates differences in algebraic problem-solving ability based on students' interest levels and explores the relationship between the two variables. A comparative quantitative approach was used with Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric analysis and a correlation test. The sample consisted of 30 seventh-grade students at an MTs in Yogyakarta, grouped into low, medium, and high interest categories. Data were collected through a learning interest questionnaire and an algebra problem-solving test. The Kruskal-Wallis results showed a significance value of 0.135 (>0.05), indicating no significant difference in problem-solving ability among the groups. Similarly, the correlation test revealed no significant relationship between interest and ability. These findings suggest that learning interest does not directly affect students' algebraic problem-solving skills. Future research could explore other factors influencing mathematical problem-solving performance.
Pengaruh Pembelajaran Inquiry Berbantuan Video Animasi terhadap Minat Belajar dan Pemahaman Matematika SD
This study aims to examine the impact of an inquiry-based learning model supported by animated videos on elementary school students’ learning interest and conceptual understanding in mathematics. The background of this research highlights difficulties in mathematical literacy at SDN 4 Pringgabaya, particularly in geometry, which may stem from the conventional teaching methods commonly used. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. A total of 50 fifth-grade students from SDN 4 Pringgabaya participated in the study, divided into two groups: the experimental group, which received inquiry-based learning with animated video support, and the control group, which received conventional instruction. The instruments used were a learning interest questionnaire and a conceptual understanding test, both administered as pretests and posttests. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Independent Samples T-Test or Mann-Whitney U for hypothesis testing, and the N-Gain test to measure improvement. The findings reveal that the inquiry-based learning model with animated video support had a significant effect on students' learning interest (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05). However, the impact on conceptual understanding did not reach statistical significance (Sig. 0.411 > 0.05), likely due to initial differences in student ability between the groups. Nonetheless, the N-Gain analysis showed a medium-to-high improvement in the experimental group (0.6826), while the control group remained in the low category (0.0498). Thus, the model proved effective in increasing students’ interest in learning and had a positive impact on their mathematical conceptual understanding.
Eksplorasi Kognitif Mahasiswa Calon Guru dalam Menyelesaikan Soal Matematika Open Ended
This study aims to explore the cognitive skills of prospective mathematics teacher students in solving open-ended mathematical problems based on Bloom's taxonomy. Open-ended problems allow students to use various solution approaches, thereby requiring higher-order thinking skills. The study was conducted at IAIN Kerinci using a qualitative case study approach. The subjects consisted of 28 students from the Mathematics Education Study Program, with 6 selected for in-depth interviews. Data were collected through open-ended mathematical problem tests and interviews.The validity and reliability of the instruments were established through expert judgment and initial trials. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, which involved data reduction, coding according to cognitive levels, theme categorization, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the majority of students operated at lower cognitive levels, specifically (C1, C2, C3), with only a small number reaching higher levels such as (C4, C5, C6). Most students relied on procedural strategies based on memorization, with only a few demonstrating varied and exploratory strategies. This study indicates that students' higher-order thinking skills still need to be improved through learning approaches that encourage exploration, reflection, and open-ended problem solving. This study emphasizes the importance of developing mathematics education curricula and training prospective teachers, emphasizing the need for pedagogical interventions specifically designed to encourage the transition of cognitive skills from lower levels (C1-C2) to higher levels (C4-C6), so that prospective teachers are ready to facilitate critical thinking in their future classrooms.
Visual Observation and Metacognitive Regulation Errors in Geometry Problem: An Analysis of Secondary Students’ Thinking
This study analyzes secondary students’ errors in visual observation and metacognitive regulation while solving geometry problems involving triangles and quadrilaterals. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, three students representing high, moderate, and low mathematical ability levels demonstrated distinct error types. Students with high mathematical ability showed accurate visual observation and effective planning and monitoring but frequently neglected the evaluation stage. Students with moderate ability missed several visual cues and made errors in monitoring and evaluating their solutions. Those with low ability struggled across all indicators, showing minimal visual observation and multiple metacognitive regulation errors. Although all students performed basic visual observation, none carried out deep and critical evaluation. This study is limited by the small sample size, which restricts generalizability. Future research should involve larger and more diverse participants and examine instructional interventions designed to strengthen students’ visual observation and metacognitive regulation skills in geometry learning.

This study started from the problem of low interest in learning and lack of understanding of mathematical concepts in elementary school students, especially in the material of circles. To overcome this problem, an inquiry-based learning approach was used which was supported by animated video media. By using an inquiry learning approach assisted by animated videos, this study aims to determine its effect on students' interest in learning and understanding of mathematical concepts. The research activities were carried out in class IV SDN 4 Pringgabaya in the 2024/2025 academic year using a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental design of the nonequivalent control group design type. The research subjects were divided into two groups, each consisting of 26 students, namely the experimental group and the control group. Data were collected through a questionnaire to assess learning interest and a written test to measure understanding of mathematical concepts. Based on the results of the normality test, the data were not normally distributed, so data analysis was carried out using the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test. The results of the analysis showed a significance value of 0.000 for both aspects studied, namely learning interest and conceptual understanding (p <0.05), indicating a significant difference between the two groups. This shows that the use of animated video-assisted inquiry has proven effective in increasing learning interest and understanding of elementary school students' mathematical concepts.

Mathematical literacy is an essential 21st-century competency. However, national assessment results and international studies such as PISA indicate that Indonesian students’ mathematical literacy remains below the average. A similar condition was found at SMP Negeri 1 Pangenan, where this research was conducted. Based on an intrinsic motivation questionnaire administered to 34 students, their motivation levels were classified into three categories: high (), medium (), and low (). This study aims to explore students’ mathematical literacy skills based on their levels of intrinsic motivation. The research employed a qualitative descriptive–exploratory approach. The subjects were selected using purposive sampling, consisting of six eighth-grade students representing each level of intrinsic motivation. Data were collected through intrinsic motivation questionnaires, mathematical literacy tests, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations. Data were analyzed through the stages of data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing. The findings show that: (1) Students with high intrinsic motivation demonstrated excellent performance in almost all components of mathematical literacy, accompanied by strong learning control, self-confidence, and full engagement. (2) Students with medium intrinsic motivation showed fairly good but inconsistent performance, particularly in reasoning, the use of symbols. Their learning control and self-confidence were not yet stable. (3) Students with low intrinsic motivation tended to perform at a fair to low level, with weak motivation and low engagement. These findings indicate that there are clear differences in mathematical literacy performance based on students’ levels of intrinsic motivation. This study recommends implementing learning approaches that take motivational variations into account to optimize students’ mathematical literacy
Profil Kesulitan Siswa dalam Menyelesaikan Masalah SPLDV ditinjau dari Computational Thinking Skill dan Self-Confidence
This study aims to identify students’ difficulties in solving Two-Variable Linear Equation System (SPLDV) problems in terms of their computational thinking skills and levels of self-confidence. The study incorporates four indicators of computational thinking combined with students’ self-confidence levels to examine their patterns of difficulty more comprehensively. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving two ninth-grade students from MTsN Muaradua who were selected based on the results of a self-confidence questionnaire and a computational thinking test. Data were collected through questionnaires, written tests, and semi-structured interviews. The findings show that students with high self-confidence were able to solve SPLDV problems across all four indicators through logical, reflective, and systematic steps. In contrast, students with low self-confidence experienced difficulties at the abstraction stage and particularly at the generalization stage when required to formulate a general equation from the obtained results. Low self-confidence led to hesitation in connecting relationships between variables and hindered reflective thinking. These findings indicate the need to strengthen affective aspects alongside the development of computational thinking in SPLDV learning.
Analisis Kebutuhan Video Pembelajaran dan Implementasi PMRI untuk Mengetahui Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Siswa
A persistent issue in mathematics education at the elementary level is students’ difficulty in comprehending problems, which consequently leads to low learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze teachers’ and students’ needs as well as their experiences in mathematical problem solving. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving 30 student respondents and 12 teacher respondents. Data were collected through a needs analysis questionnaire concerning the learning media currently used. The results indicate that, in general, the preferred learning media include images and videos that can be accessed repeatedly at any time, provide explanations accompanied by examples, have a duration of 5–10 minutes, and incorporate real-life problem contexts. Moreover, the most effective learning process is suggested to employ real-world contexts through the PMRI (Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education) approach. Students’ problem-solving experiences serve as indicators of mathematical competence; however, the stage requiring the most instructional intervention is the implementation phase, particularly in connecting mathematical concepts to everyday life situations. The findings underscore the importance of providing learning media that align with students’ and teachers’ needs and implementing contextual approaches to enhance students’ mathematical competence.
Pengaruh Media Papan Hitung Polinomial (PHP) terhadap Hasil Belajar Siswa ditinjau dari Uji Wilcoxon
Learning media serve as tools that connect teachers and students in the learning process. Previous studies have shown that learning media allow students to participate directly in learning activities. Therefore, the Polynomial Counting Board (PHP) can be used as an instructional medium for performing polynomial operations, enabling students to engage more actively and accurately during the learning process. Through the use of PHP, students are expected to be more careful when solving polynomial operation problems and more involved in classroom activities. This study applies the Wilcoxon test to examine the effect of PHP on students’ learning outcomes, a test that has not been previously used in the development of similar learning media. The research uses a quantitative approach with an experimental method and a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The sample consists of students from class XI Science 1 at MA Sains Tebuireng Putri Kesamben. The observed variables include the independent variable (PHP media) and the dependent variable (learning outcomes). Data were collected using pretest and posttest instruments. The analysis involved the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and a nonparametric statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon test. The results of data analysis and hypothesis testing through the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test show an Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.001, which is lower than the significance level α = 0.05. This indicates a significant difference (H₀ rejected, H₁ accepted) and demonstrates that the PHP learning media has a positive effect on students’ learning outcomes, with an effect size of 0.67.

The developed E-LKPD is considered to have met the validity criteria (average score of 89.7%), practical (average score of 84%), and had a potential effect (average score of 88.8%). The CTL approach with a woven context increased students' motivation, involvement, and appreciation of local culture. This study produced an E-LKPD that was suitable for use as an interactive mathematics learning media that was relevant to students' daily lives.
Analyzing How E-Learning Activities Affect Student Engagement in Mathematics through Artificial Intelligence Analytics
This study aimed to examine the influence of e-learning activity variables on students’ engagement in online mathematics learning. The ex post facto design was selected because data were collected from existing Learning Management System (LMS) activity logs without experimental manipulation, allowing the analysis of naturally occurring relationships between variables. The population consisted of 350 senior high school students in Tangerang, Indonesia, during the 2024/2025 academic year, with a proportional stratified random sample of 180 students across Grades 10–12 to ensure representativeness. The study investigated four independent variables: login frequency (X1), learning duration (X2), assignment submission punctuality (X3), and forum participation activity (X4), with student engagement (Y) as the dependent variable. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted after confirming that the data met classical assumptions, including normality, multicollinearity, and homoscedasticity. The results indicated that all four e-learning activity variables significantly and positively influenced student engagement. The regression equation was: Y = 35.214 + 0.426X1 + 0.321X2 + 0.214X3 + 0.178X4. T-test results confirmed the partial effects of each variable: Login Frequency (t = 5.195, p < 0.001), Learning Duration (t = 4.280, p < 0.001), Assignment Submission (t = 4.115, p < 0.001), and Forum Participation (t = 2.825, p = 0.005). These findings suggest that active participation in e-learning activities enhances student engagement in online mathematics learning, providing practical implications for teachers and school administrators to optimize LMS-based instructional strategies

This study aims to analyze the mathematical generalization ability of junior high school students in Cilegon City on the topic of relations and functions. Mathematical generalization ability is an important component of higher-order thinking that includes the ability to recognize patterns, express regularities, and represent mathematical relationships in symbolic form. The method used was descriptive quantitative, involving 368 students from 50 schools that are members of the Mathematics Subject Teachers Association (MGMP) of Cilegon City. The research instrument consisted of six open-ended questions developed based on three indicators of generalization ability proposed by Mason, Sitorus, and Sutirna (2023): perception of generality, expression of generality, and symbolic and manipulation of generality. Data were analyzed descriptively through the calculation of mean scores and ability category classification. The results of the study show that students’ mathematical generalization ability is in the moderate category with an average score of 2.08. The indicators of perception of generality and expression of generality are also in the moderate category, while symbolic and manipulation of generality falls into the low category. These findings indicate that students are able to recognize patterns and express simple relationships, but still experience difficulties in constructing formal symbolic representations. Based on these results, mathematics learning needs to be more oriented toward exploration, conceptual reasoning, and the use of interactive visual media to improve students’ symbolic representation skills and functional understanding.

Analisis Kemampuan Mahasiswa pada Tugas Proyek Pemodelan Persamaan Diferensial Parsial
The purpose of this study is to describe the characteristics of students' abilities in completing Partial Differential Equation (PDP) modeling project. This is motivated by the problem of students' difficulties in solving PDP applied problems, where the questions refer to modeling project assignments. This study is considered important because previous studies have examined more individual abilities, while projects have a broader scope, including the ability to solve problems by interaction. PDP Modeling Project are divided into four stages, namely: (1) Problem Context, (2) PDP Modeling, (3) PDP Model Completion, and (4) Example and solutions. This type of research is descriptive qualitative, conducted on students of the Mathematics Education, FKIP, University of Mataram. The instruments are project assignments and presentation assessment sheets. The results showed that the results of the project assignments were grouped into 3 categories, namely Unstructured (TT) which gave rise to inappropriate mathematical models because they were still in the form of ordinary differential equations instead of partial differential equations, the most dominant being 40% Incompletely Structured (T-TL) which gave rise to partial differential equation models but were inappropriate in applying them to case examples, and Completely Structured (T-L) which were able to carry out the project stages which included the problem context, PDP modeling, model completion, and solving the case correctly. The results of the PDP modeling project categorization can be mapped to the level of understanding that describes the characteristics of students who make scientific contributions leading to differentiated learning strategies and TaRL.
