Analyzing the Relationship Between Critical Thinking, Learning Outcomes, and Retention Using Jigsaw Learning Model
Full text linkAbstract: Critical thinking skills are one of the key skills needed to face the challenges of the 21st century. However, based on the 2015 PISA study, students' critical thinking skills in Indonesia are still low. Various studies have shown a significant contribution of critical thinking skills to learning outcomes. In addition, the development of critical thinking skills in biology learning can improve student retention. However, not many studies have specifically examined the relationship of critical thinking skills with learning outcomes and student retention, especially with the use of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model. This study aims to examine the relationship of critical thinking skills with student learning outcomes and retention through the Jigsaw learning model. This correlational study involved 72 students in grades X5 and X6 at SMA Negeri 4 Jember. The results of product moment correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between critical thinking skills with learning outcomes (R = 0.967, R² = 93.5%, significance < 0.001) and student learning retention (R = 0.511, R² = 26.1%, significance < 0.001). Thus, critical thinking skills contributed 93.5% to learning outcomes, while 6.5% was influenced by other factors. Meanwhile, on student retention, the contribution of critical thinking skills was 26.1%, with 73.9% influenced by other factors.

Analyzing Computational Thinking Skills in 7th Grade Students: A Focus on Data Processing in Mathematics Education
Full text linkComputational Thinking (CT) skills are essential in mathematics education, particularly in data processing topics. This study aims to analyze the CT skills of 7th-grade junior high school students based on four main components: decomposing, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking. A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed, involving 14 students selected purposively based on their diverse academic performance levels. Data was collected through classroom observation, CT skill tests focusing on data processing tasks, and in-depth semi-structured interviews to explore students’ problem-solving strategies and cognitive processes. The findings reveal varied CT competencies among students. For decomposing, 29% of students demonstrated high ability, effectively breaking down complex problems into manageable steps, while 36% exhibited moderate skills. In abstraction, the majority (57%) struggled to filter relevant data from irrelevant ones, highlighting this as a key area for improvement. Pattern recognition showed 36% of students in the high category, recognizing and logically explaining data trends, whereas 29% remained in the low category. Algorithmic thinking presented the strongest performance, with 43% of students categorized as high, showcasing structured and logical approaches to solving data-related problems. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to strengthen abstraction and pattern recognition skills, crucial for comprehensive data analysis. By identifying strengths and weaknesses in CT skills, this research provides insights into designing more effective teaching strategies and developing CT-oriented curricula. The findings contribute to mathematics education by addressing 21st-century skills, equipping students with critical thinking and analytical capabilities needed in a data-driven world.

Prospective Mathematics Teacher Students’ Experiences in Visual Programming: Difficulties and Obstacles in Designing Digital Media for Numeracy Learning
Full text linkProspective mathematics teacher students' lack of understanding of basic math concepts, such as numeracy, is one of the main challenges in learning. In the era of rapid technological development, they must adapt, one of which is through visual programming to strengthen their numeracy. However, they often face difficulties and obstacles in the learning process of visual programming, both from technical and non-technical aspects. This research aims to analyze the difficulties and obstacles of prospective mathematics teacher students in learning visual programming. The research used the Colaizzi method to analyze qualitative data, which was then combined with clustering techniques to group the problems into five main clusters. The results show that the main difficulties are programming related knowledge (syntax/rules for writing code, determining variables, concepts and principles, functions and parameters, define code structure and loops, apply in numeracy/mathematics concept), skills in programming, understanding of program semantics (code), debugging, lack of practice. In addition, the obstacles faced by prospective mathematics teacher students are a lack of skills and understanding of basic programming concepts, such as code structure, syntax, and debugging, as well as the application of concepts to the context of numeracy/mathematics. In addition, there are internal barriers in the form of negative perceptions, dislike for programming, and low motivation to learn. This problem is exacerbated by the heavy course load, such as learning many topics quickly and teaching methods that are less structured and do not support effective learning. These difficulties and obstacles need to be addressed through more targeted and innovative learning approaches, such as integrating technology that supports a basic understanding of programming and training that builds motivation and changes negative perceptions towards visual programming.

Development and Validation of Free Fall Motion Experiment Kit Based on Arduino UNO and Phyphox Application
Full text linkAbstract: This study aims to develop and validate science teachers' perception of the free fall motion practicum device based on Arduino UNO and the Phyphox Application through the Science Subject Teachers' Deliberation (MGMP) forum. This research method applies the research and development (RnD) method with the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The first step is the analysis of the needs of the problem of misconceptions of free fall motion and the selection of media to be developed; the second step is the design of the development of the device used, namely Arduino UNO and the Phyphox Application in the form of a digital sketch before continuing to the development process. The third step is the development of the Arduino UNO and Phyphox free fall motion kit prototype; the fourth step is the implementation of a data collection trial carried out by a group of volunteer students in the free fall motion practicum and continued with the introduction of the device through the MGMP Science forum. The final evaluation activity is the collection of data from the science teacher perception questionnaire on the developed tool and validating the tool. The results of the testing and development show that Adruino has a slightly lower accuracy level than the phyphox application. These results were obtained from practical activities by a group of students. This may be influenced by development factors and technical settings that can affect the accuracy level of the Adruino practical tool. Each tool has its advantages; Adruino is suitable for training students in coding programming and technology-based learning according to the needs of the 21st century. Meanwhile, Phyphox offers practicality and fast and efficient use. Through practicality testing, both tools provide good and relevant results to improve the quality of learning, especially in the misconception of free fall motion. Keywords: free fall motion, arduino UNO, phyphox application
Implementation of the Flipped Classroom Learning Model to Improve Students' Self-Regulated Learning
Full text linkThis study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Flipped Classroom learning model in terms of self-regulated learning on student learning outcomes. This study used a quasi experimental design in SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Gamping with the subject of the study being the experimental group totaling 32 students and the control group totaling 32 students. Based on the result of data analysis shows that the application of the Flipped Classroom learning model is more effective than application of the direct learning model and has a significant interaction between the learning model and the self-regulated learning. This can be strengthened by the result of interactions with the learning model and the self-regulated learning of Sig=0,044<0,05 so that the learning model affects the self-regulated learning of students. The Flipped Classroom learning model can be used in mathematics as an alternative learning model, especially in flat face three dimensional objects.

Creative Performance Self-Efficacy and Mathematical Problem-Solving: Analyzing Students' Strategies in Number Patterns
Full text linkLearning mathematics is important for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, improving students' creativity and self-confidence is still a major concern, especially in solving complex mathematical problems. This study analyzes the relationship between Creative Performance Self-Efficacy (CPSE) and mathematical problem-solving ability on number pattern material. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with participants of grade VIII students of Jambi City 1 Junior High Schools selected based on high and low CPSE categories. Data was collected through CPSE questionnaires, problem-solving tests, and semi-structured interviews. The study showed that CPSE is not always directly proportional to mathematical problem-solving ability. Students with high CPSE do not always perform better than those with low CPSE. Some students with low CPSE can develop more systematic and practical problem-solving strategies. In contrast, students with high CPSE have difficulty understanding problems and executing the right solutions. Factors such as conceptual understanding, accuracy, and learning experience also influence problem-solving success. The conclusion of this study confirms that a learning approach that only focuses on improving CPSE is not practical enough without strengthening conceptual understanding and problem-solving strategies. Therefore, a scaffolding-based learning approach, problem-based learning (PBL), and differentiated instruction are needed to accommodate the needs of students with different CPSE profiles. In addition, metacognitive strategies such as self-evaluation, error-based learning to identify errors, and reflective discussions to evaluate solutions are also essential to implement.
