Authors:Pramita Sylvia Dewi, Ari Widodo, Diana Rochintaniawati, Eka Cahya Prima Pages: 1 - 10 Abstract: This study aims to identify science learning activities for junior high school students. The research design is descriptive and quantitative. The sample in this study was 38 students, and the questions tested consisted of 28 items analyzed by Rasch analysis. Question items are correct if students can answer questions according to their guided inquiry abilities. The results showed that almost all samples could not participate in science learning using guided inquiry. Of the 28 questions tested on students, only three had a score above 50%, and the rest were almost, on average, below 50%. It can be concluded that students have yet to realize that guided inquiry is the essence of science learning, which helps them conduct and develop science learning in the classroom. This study recommends the application of guided inquiry to students to be able to harmonize thinking in science learning in junior high school.

Authors:Clement Ayarebilla Ali Pages: 11 - 25 Abstract: This study explored Kolb’s four-phase experiential learning cycle in the teaching and learning of place value at the University level. I deployed quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a sample of 42 preservice teachers who are undergoing education and training in the University to be become teachers. The first 21 received Kolb’s experiential model (experimental group) while the second 21 received traditional problem solving models as control group. In the tests, the performance of the preservice teachers in the experimental and control groups were compared using robust statistical t-test and ANCOVA analyses. The results showed that even though traditional Polya’s problem solving and scientific models were widely acknowledged, Kolb’s experiential principles of concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and active experimentation propelled educational theory and practice into a new direction and focusing on much on the role that experience plays in the learning process. A follow up content analyses of four students’ sample work showed that Kolb’s experiential learning better developed their critical thinking and problem solving skills, effective communication skills, modern technology use, self-directions, and understanding in place value problems. Based on these findings, it is recommended that mathematics educators refocus and tailor their instructional techniques to Kolb’s experiential model of problem solving while bridging the gaps with the traditional problem solving strategies.

Authors:Rusli Rusli, Tusana Nurul Safaah Pages: 37 - 47 Abstract: This paper aims to provide research trends in ethnomathematics from 2012 to 2022 using bibliometric analysis in the Google Scholar database. The sample consisted of 994 documents extracted from the Google Scholar database using the Publish or Perish (PoP) software, which was then analyzed and visualized using Ms.Excel and VoSViewer. The findings revealed an increase in the number of scholarly articles on ethnomathematics. It was discovered that there were five types of documents associated with ethnomathematics research, with journals dominating. The Journal of Physics: Conference Series was a prestigious conference series that included ethnomathematics publications. The visualization of ethnomathematics research trend resulted in four clusters: (1) ethnomathematics practice in the educational landscape, (2) ethnomathematics exploration in learning mathematics, (3) ethnomathematics related to learning materials, and (4) ethnomathematics domain in teaching approach and teaching materials. Cluster 4 provides opportunities for future ethnomathematics research. Researchers could use the findings of this study to identify the global trend of ethnomathematics research and recommend future research directions.

Authors:Widya Widya, Riza Andriani, Sudirman Sudirman, Amam Taufiq Hidayat, Nur Elisyah Pages: 48 - 58 Abstract: The availability of teaching materials that contain 21st-century skills still needs to be improved. This research aims to look at the effectiveness of the 21st-century integrated CPS-based e-module that has been developed. This study is part of Research and Development research, using the Reeve Model with stages of analysis, design, and evaluation. Measurement of effectiveness is carried out at the evaluation stage. Effectiveness is measured by giving a pretest and posttest to students. The sampling technique used is a purposive sample. Effectiveness is measured by giving a pretest and posttest to students. There was an increase in student mastery of 21st-century skills from 78.32 to 84. Then, based on hypothesis testing, information was obtained that there were differences in student mastery of 21st-century skills before and after using the e-module (Sig (2-tailed)<0.05). It indicates the effect of using e-modules based on the CPS model integrated with 21st-century skills to improve student mastery of 21st-century skills and mastery of 21st-century skills.
