This study addresses the need for interactive mathematics learning media to improve students' understanding of the concept of exponents. The objective of this research is to develop and evaluate Scratch-based learning media using the ADDIE model. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method consisting of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation…

Innovation in learning is an essential requirement, particularly in addressing the challenges of 21st-century education, which demand more effective, interactive, and student-centered learning processes. Fundamentally, innovation activities require strategies and skills to enhance students’ learning effectiveness across the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. One approach to achieving …

At the school level, the material presented in mathematics learning includes various types, such as geometry, statistics, algebra, and arithmetic. Among these branches, geometry particularly requires strong spatial abilities, as students are expected to visualize, interpret, and mentally manipulate objects. Students' spatial abilities remain relatively low. However, a literature review on spatial…

This study addressed the absence of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of mental arithmetic research in educational psychology by systematically mapping its evolutionary trajectory over 83 years (1942–2024). Using Scopus database searches, 1,749 unique deduplicated records were retrieved, with 626 "arithmetic skills" records serving as the core dataset for descriptive bibliometric analyses of …

Elementary school mathematics education is critical to fostering students' intellectual skills and problem-solving capacities; however, early learners tend to view mathematics, including early conceptions about statistics, data collection, and analysis, as an abstract subject with negligible practical applications to their real lives. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) would be one remedy, inv…

The scientific imagination is not merely a source of daydreaming and creativity; it helps define, build, and apply scientific models, conduct scientific tests, develop scientific theories, and advance scientific knowledge and concepts. The focus of this study was to develop an instrument to evaluate students' scientific imagination as they explore the Bohr atomic model and to validate it through …

The persistently low level of science literacy among Indonesian students, as evidenced by stagnant PISA 2022 results remaining below the OECD average, underscores a critical need to transform teaching materials to be more adaptive to technological advances. This research addresses the lack of pedagogically integrated materials on technological aspects, which often hinders students' ability to int…

Religious moderation is an essential competency for Generation Z students to maintain social cohesion in the digital era. Despite this importance, students may demonstrate tolerant dispositions without strong conceptual literacy. This study examined the effectiveness of gamification in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) as a strategy to strengthen the internalization of religious moderation by imp…

This study aims to describe the profile of students' mathematical representations across visual, symbolic, and verbal aspects, and to examine visualist and verbalist cognitive styles from a gender perspective. A descriptive qualitative approach was used. Four students were purposively selected, consisting of male and female students with visualist and verbalist cognitive styles from a public high…

This study seeks to evaluate the quality of a Critical Thinking Skills (CTS) instrument for high school students on dynamic fluids, focusing on reliability, item validity, and respondent ability assessment using the Rasch model. This research utilized a quantitative technique with a descriptive design. The research sample comprised 200 11th-grade science students from several high schools in Mang…

This study aimed to develop an instrument for assessing junior high school students’ scientific creativity based on the Scientific Structure Creativity Model (SSCM) in the topic of Work and Simple Machines. The research employed a Research and Development method using the 4D model (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate), and was limited to the Develop stage. The research subjects consisted of …

This exploratory case study investigates the multiple representational skills of prospective physics teachers in solving mechanics problems within a specific institutional context. The study employed a mixed-method approach to obtain both quantitative and qualitative insights into students’ representational skills. The participants were 17 second-semester students enrolled in a Physics Education …

Quadratic equations are a fundamental topic in mathematics education, but various studies show that students' conceptual understanding of this material is still low. Scratch-based learning media that have been developed previously also tend to be limited to visual aspects and have not fully integrated narratives, interactive evaluations, and learning principles that support the construction of st…

Junior high school students in Indonesia consistently face systemic challenges in their mathematical reasoning skills, leading to consistently poor performance on international tests like PISA. This enduring educational disparity underscores an immediate need for pedagogical reforms that transcend rote memorization and promote approaches that foster cognitive adaptability. Our study was driven by…

The quality of measurement in educational research is highly dependent on the validity and reliability of the instruments used. However, in practice, many numeracy literacy and problem-solving instruments have not undergone adequate psychometric testing, particularly those that use cultural contexts as question stimuli. This study aims to develop and evaluate instruments for numeracy literacy and…

This study aims to develop an e-module based on the CinQASE learning model supported by Flip PDF Professional and evaluate its effectiveness in improving students' Individual Critical Thinking (InCT) and collaborative skills in Momentum and Impulse materials. This study employed an R&D approach based on the 4D development model (Define, Design, Develop, Disseminate), comprising four main stag…

This article discusses the development of a project-based blended learning (PjBBL) module using a cognitive conflict strategy on the topic of geometric transformations to enhance mathematical spatial literacy. The objectives of this study are (1) to produce a valid, practical design of a PjBBL module with a cognitive conflict strategy, and (2) to determine the improvement in the mathematical spat…

This study aims to develop and describe the characteristics, feasibility, practicality, and effectiveness of Senimatika, an Android-based mathematics learning media integrated with an ethnomathematics approach to support junior high school students’ mathematical problem-solving skills, particularly in understanding the problem, devising a solution plan, carrying out the plan, and reviewing or ver…

Education is a key factor in tackling climate change, and educational tourism (edutourism) is a new approach to environmental education with supporting teaching materials. This research aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a science module on educational tourism, integrated with environmental education, for enhancing students’ ecological awareness. The module was designed using the 4…

Students' creative thinking skills remain relatively low in science learning, mainly due to a limited variety of learning media and a lack of integration of local wisdom. This study aims to develop Ethno-Tok edutainment-based learning media that integrates the ethnoscience of making nopia cakes into TikTok video content to train the creative thinking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri…
