Assessing Mathematical Connections Abilities in Algebraic Operations: A Qualitative Case Study of Eight-Grade Students
Full text linkWith a case study approach, this qualitative research aims to determine students' mathematical connection ability in solving mathematical problems with algebraic arithmetic operations. The subjects of this study were 30 students of grade VIII at a junior high school in Indramayu Regency. The data collection technique in this study used several instruments, namely mathematical connection ability test questions, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique used a descriptive method consisting of three main stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Based on the analysis of the entire question instrument, it was found that most students had difficulty solving problems by linking relationships between topics in mathematics. In addition, students are not yet able to think about using mathematical concepts in other fields of study and have not been able to apply mathematical concepts widely in everyday life. This low mathematical connection ability can be caused by several factors, including students' lack of conceptual understanding, learning methods that have not optimized the relationship between topics in mathematics, and the lack of contextual and applicable practice questions. This indicates that the learning provided still tends to focus on procedures without emphasizing the relationship between concepts in more depth. More innovative learning strategies are needed to improve students' mathematical connection skills, such as problem-based learning, contextual learning, and integrating mathematical concepts with real life and other fields of study. Thus, the level of mathematical connection abilities of grade VIII students is still relatively low, so efforts are needed to improve learning strategies to develop mathematical thinking skills more broadly and connect with various contexts. Keywords: algebraic operation, mathematical connection ability, mathematical problems

Analysis of The Relationship Between The Role of Local Culture and Digital Media in Shaping Environmentally Conscious Character
Full text linkThe global environmental crisis demands urgent strategies to cultivate environmental awareness, particularly among youth. This study aims to analyse and compare the influence of local culture and digital media on fostering environmentally conscious character among university students in Indonesia. An ex post facto design with multivariate correlation was employed. The sample included 228 biology education students from three universities in Indonesia who had completed the Environmental Knowledge course. Data were collected via an online questionnaire consisting of 15 Likert-scale items and five open-ended questions. Expert judgment was used to validate the instrument, and reliability scores for all constructs exceeded α = 0.78. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used for quantitative analysis, supported by qualitative coding of open responses. A statistically non-significant and weak correlation was found between local culture and environmental character (r = 0.185; p = 0.323). Strikingly, only 2% of respondents demonstrated awareness of local environmental cultural values, highlighting an alarming disconnect between youth and traditional ecological wisdom. Meanwhile, digital media showed a statistically significant but practically weak relationship (r = 0.150; t = 2.27; p = 0.024). This statistical significance may be attributed to the large sample size and should not be interpreted as a strong practical effect. Students frequently cited digital platforms such as TikTok and Instagram as sources of ecological content. While digital media offers an accessible entry point for environmental messaging, its real-world impact is limited. Conversely, local culture holds deep contextual potential that is currently underutilized. A key limitation of this study is its specific sample of biology education students who likely possess higher baseline environmental knowledge, potentially skewing results. Future studies should include more diverse academic disciplines to improve generalizability. These findings underscore the urgency of integrating cultural ecological values into youth education via engaging digital formats. Keywords: digital media, environmentally conscious character, local culture.

Development of an Inexpensive Spectrometer Tool with a Tracker to Investigate Light Spectrum
Full text linkOne of the most fascinating areas of physics is likely optics. However, it also includes some of the phenomena that students find to be less clear-the light spectra produced by light diffraction. The experimental analysis of light spectra to evaluate radiation bodies typically requires specialized and expensive equipment that is typically out of the price range for schools. Few teachers are proficient in measuring the wavelengths of light in a spectrum. In this study, we describe a low-cost, straightforward setup that can measure light spectra accurately enough to be utilized in physics and chemistry lectures. We demonstrate how the shareware program Tracker, which is frequently used to teach mechanics, may be used to measure wavelengths with a resolution of roughly 2 nm. Several methods are also available for calibrating various setups, depending on the level of accuracy required.Keywords: optics, spectrum, experimental, wavelength.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v24i1.pp28-3
