Problem-based learning (PBL) has been widely applied as an alternative to improve learning outcomes, but it is still little studied in the context of the probability theory course. This study described how implementing the PBL model improves students’ problem-solving and critical thinking skills in probability theory course and evaluates its quality. This design research involved 58 undergraduate students and two probability theory course lecturers from two universities in Indonesia as participants. Data collection used observation to describe PBL implementation, then questionnaire and pretest-posttest to evaluate the quality of the model. This study produced a PBL model for the probability theory course which is implemented through five steps: i) Orienting students on problems; ii) Organizing students to study; iii) Assisting individual and group investigations; iv) Developing and presenting work or solutions; and v) Analyzing and evaluating problem solving processes. Lecturers and students consider that the implementation of PBL is practical. PBL implementation can also improve students’ problem-solving skills and critical thinking in the probability theory course. Thus, implementing PBL can be used as a solution to optimize learning outcomes in the probability theory course.
Problem-based learning is generally done with face-to-face interaction. This learning process, however, has not provided a lot of time for learners to find limitless and timeless information and learning resources. It still depends on the teacher as a source of information. Students are very dependent on the presence of lecturers during face-to-face interaction. This research aims to develop a Problem-based Blended Learning (PB2L) model to support student to improve their creative thinking skills. The method used in this research was R&D with ASSURE development model. Product validation was done through an expert’s assessment by using the expert’s validation sheet. The practicality of the product is tested with limited trials with college lecturers and some students with questionnaires and interviews. Product effectiveness was seen by implementing limited development testing to a particular class with a one group pretest-posttest design and the result was analyzed by using a Paired-Samples T-Test. The result of this research is a Problem-based Blended Learning (PB2L) valid, practical and effectively improves students' creative thinking abilities. The effectiveness of the learning model was also proven on the basis of Paired-Samples T-Test of students’ pretest and posttest with sig. (2-tailed) 0.000. This learning gives students the opportunity to think systematically by beginning by criticizing the interesting contextual problems and ending with meaningful reflection with adequate learning resources both in face-to-face and online interaction.
Analysis Of Students Ability In Solving Relation And Functions Problems Base...Vicki Cristol
The document analyzes students' ability to solve relation and function problems based on learning indicators. It finds that students' overall ability is low. Specifically:
- Ability to define relations and functions is low. Students forget definitions.
- Determining examples and non-examples of functions is medium. Most but not all students can distinguish them.
- Determining domain, codomain, and range is medium. Students sometimes confuse range and codomain.
- Drawing arrow and Cartesian diagrams is medium. Students can usually draw them but omit descriptions.
The study indicates students have forgotten basic concepts and recommends teachers focus more on understanding than memorization to improve problem-solving abilities.

This study aims to reveal the profile of open-start problem-solving with ethnomathematics regarding student learning styles. This research is a qualitative research study on 3 out of 31 students of Junior High School of 3 Magetan taken by purposive sampling. The three students carried out four stages: understanding the problem, planning problem-solving strategies, implementing problem-solving strategies, and reviewing again. The results of the research show that students with a visual learning style solve problems by understanding problems through writing known and being asked and drawing illustrations, planning problem-solving strategies by making examples, carrying out solving strategies by working on the calculation process; students with an auditory learning style solve problems by understanding problems through writing known and being asked, planning strategies by making problems and formulating formulas used, implementing solutions by doing calculations and reviewing; students with a kinesthetic learning style solve problems by understanding issues through writing known and being asked, making examples and writing the formulas used, carrying out solving strategies by applying the calculation process and reviewing the results obtained. However, of the three styles, the results of the accepted work were not correct because they did not write down the conclusions and were not thorough enough.
This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of the issue, discussion,
establishment, and application (IDEA) learning model in embedding
mathematical concepts understanding. It is a quantitative study with a quasiexperimental
approach. This research was conducted at Malang Islamic
University with students majoring Mathematics education study program
and in their first academic year as the subjects. Subjects were divided into
two group, experimental and control and measured their result using posttest
only control group design. There are six instruments consisting six items
used to measure mathematical concepts understanding. The results
confirmed that H0 is rejected, while Ha is accepted proved by t count
(3.132)>ttable (1.674). It means there is a significant difference between the
of both groups (experimental and control). In addition, the results indicated
that the IDEA learning models is effective to assist students in understanding
mathematical concepts showed by the higher score of experimental groups
than control group. Three factors are involved in order to implement the
IDEA learning model effectively; namely: individual problem-solving
opportunities, active student involvement, and guidance and assistance (from
lecturer) on the IDEA learning model. This research is only limited to
preservice teacher, further research is required in order to implement this
model for mathematics learning at junior and senior high schools’ level.

Hypothesis test was done by two-way variance ANOVA test with different cells. It can be concluded that the discovery learning model with RME approach gives better influence on the Mathematics learning achievement than the direct learning model. Students having high interpersonal intelligence category get better Mathematics learning achievement than those having medium and low category. The students having medium interpersonal intelligence get better Mathematics achievement than those having low category. There is no interaction between learning model and interpersonal intelligence on Mathematics learning achievement.
It is unrealistic to expect students to have future literacy about science, information, and technology if their education includes only facts and concepts relevant during the school years. While life presents situations that cannot be solved by learned responses, the metacognitive strategy is brought into play. Metacognitive skills are needed when habitual responses are not successful. Metacognitive skills will enable students to successfully cope with new situations. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a practical model of implementing strategies to increase students’ ability to comprehend texts and find solutions to word problems based on the theories and empirical background of metacognition. In addition, the distinction between metacognition and cognition and explicit instruction on the learning strategies to develop students metacognitive skills were discussed. It concludes that teachers can raise the level of metacognitive thought in their classrooms by modeling the processes. The use of metacognitive strategies will enable students to be independent and strategic learners.
Analyticity And Systematicity Students Of Mathematics Education On Solving No...Richard Hogue
This document summarizes a study that examined the critical thinking dispositions of analyticity and systematicity in first-year mathematics education students when solving non-routine problems. The study found that the students displayed low levels of these dispositions. When solving problems, students did not thoroughly analyze problems or solutions, struggled to identify logical inconsistencies, and wrote answers that were disorganized and unfocused. Only a few students showed signs of critical thinking by reflecting on solutions or reworking problems logically. The study concludes the students need further development to improve their critical thinking dispositions when handling non-routine mathematics problems.

The role of entrepreneurship in addressing the issue of educated unemployment is well acknowledged, while its specific implications for health professions students remain inadequately explored. This study's main objective is to investigate entrepreneurship education's effect on entrepreneurial intention by considering entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator in students majoring in medical laboratory technology. This quantitative research uses an exploratory approach involving 300 respondents determined through simple random sampling techniques and analyzed using partial least square structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The analysis revealed that entrepreneurship education directly impacts self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, entrepreneurial self-efficacy was identified to exert a positive mediating effect between these variables. However, the effect size between the relationships of the research variables is low. Nevertheless, higher education offering health majors can optimize entrepreneurship education by implementing practical learning and field experience to increase confidence and intention in entrepreneurial activities.
Recent studies claimed that the absence of a paradigm is a challenge to developing education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies. This integrative study examines stimulating these transferable and transversal competencies through constructivist approaches to teaching from the cognitive, social, radical, and critical perspectives. The study argues that the use of constructivist approaches to teaching can contribute to the achievement of education for sustainable development and soft skills competencies through the delegation of power from teachers/lecturers to students. This, in active and interactive classrooms, empowers students and builds their confidence to develop on the personal, academic, and professional levels. The use of the cognitive constructivist approach assists in developing competencies based on a clear understanding of the cognitive structures of students in a vibrant classroom environment. The use of the social constructivist approach assists in constructing individualized learning environment based on predetermined zones of proximal development in sociocultural contexts. The radical and critical constructivist approaches to teaching, through the rejection of conventional epistemologies, allow students the freedom to creatively address issues related to environmental, economic, and social sustainability. This becomes effective through the fostering of self and social awareness, challenging existing ideas, and provoking innovative thoughts that are necessary to shape a sustainable future.
The research aimed to describe the development of solar electric cars as a prop in energy conversion learning using the analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate (ADDIE) model and to ascertain the effectiveness of an electric car as a prop in energy conversion learning. Utilization of prop in the learning process is one way to support the development of knowledge, skills, and basic needs for delivering material, concepts, and physics information. This research is a descriptive study involving media and pedagogical experts and 40 students of the university in Tasikmalaya. Data collection techniques were carried out through the study of literature, expert validation, and student perception questionnaires. Expert validation and student perception were obtained by using a Likert scale. The expert judgment results were processed using the V value equation developed by Aiken. The results showed a value of 1, meeting the minimum validation requirements. The students also had positive responses to a prop. They have new experience learning in energy conversion and have good media to help their comprehension. It has a significant impact on helping students to achieve their learning goals.
The rise and growing prevalence of juvenile delinquency is a matter of concern for many parties. This study aims to establish a research instrument in the form of a questionnaire that can be deployed to assess the learning environment perceived by high school students. This research endeavor constitutes a developmental study, wherein the outcomes are a single survey instrument encompassing six variables, nineteen indicators, and forty questions. The data-collecting process involved the utilization of a Google Form across five schools in five districts, containing a total of 1615 participants. The analysis of expert data was conducted utilizing V. Aiken and field trials employing confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) Second Order. The findings of this study indicate that the diagnostic survey instrument used to assess the learning environment's impact on the mental health of high school students demonstrated validity, as evidenced by loading factor values exceeding the established minimal threshold. The reliability of the instrument remains insufficient. This survey can be utilized to detect adolescent persistent tendencies carried out by students or other school members that interfere with mental health: the emergence and significant raising of juvenile delinquency.
Marinyo is a culture left by the Portuguese around the 15th century in Maluku. The purpose of this study was to find out to what extent students' misconceptions about the concept of sound in the Marinyo case in the Kepuluan Tanimbar Regency. The method used was a qualitative study in ethnography in ten villages in two sub-districts. In addition, they conducted a survey in the form of a diagnostic test in the form of questions related to the Marinyo case on 300 elementary school students. The findings in the field show that students experience relatively high misconceptions. It was because teachers did not accustom students to learn from natural phenomena around them and were given scientific questions to seek, find and provide answers and solutions related to these natural phenomena. The teacher was more pursuing the conditions and problems of physics in textbooks and less exploring contextual matters. Future researchers are suggested to develop physics or science teaching materials based on regional local advantages that are oriented towards understanding concepts, mental models, critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and innovative thinking so that teachers and students can learn well so that knowledge of science becomes better.
Online learning is a growing trend in education during the corona virus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the difficulties that online majors in non-English languages have when attempting to acquire English. The subject of this study involved using the questionnaire method for as many as 412 students and interviewing 15 students with a total of 17 questions. The results of this study indicate that there are several challenges faced by students during online learning; i) less familiarity with online learning as shown by 31% of students agreeing that online learning is a new learning method, ii) psychologically 30% of students choose strongly agree that they have limited opportunities to interact directly and freely with lecturers as well as with students, iii) limited facilities and infrastructure as much as 28% agree that the budget is limited to get quota or internet credit, and iv) limited internet access as many as 35% of students do not have good internet coverage to take online lectures. The findings of this study should be a reference for English lecturers to continue learning to innovate in providing online English learning by considering the existing challenges.
English for young learners (EYL) teachers have practiced some creative activities to maintain their pupils’ learning with natural exposure to the target language amidst the pandemic. One activity practiced by Indonesian and Korean teachers was an international collaboration to perform a virtual drama of each country’s folktale. This phenomenological research aimed at tapping the teachers’ perceptions regarding interculturality and world Englishes (WE) in the virtual dramatic play collaboratively conducted and delving into their commitments in honing interculturality and WE. Two Indonesian and Korean teachers were involved in three sessions of in-depth interviews using pre-prepared interview questions. The trustworthiness of the data was achieved by the group discussions allowing the participants to comment on and revise the transcribed data, as well as triangulation by two international collaborators. Thematic analysis was performed to identify emerging themes and to provide novel insights into EYL teachers' encounters with interculturality and WE. The Indonesian and Korean teachers admitted the compatibility between language and culture, the urgency of introducing varieties of English, and the merits of conducting international collaboration to promote interculturality and WE. The teachers are committed to integrate interculturality and WE in their instructions despite some differences in the stipulated curricula.
The fear of failure stops students from thinking logically and processing information in mathematics. Creating an appropriate classroom climate based on every student's ability is crucial to overcoming the prejudices associated with mathematics. In this regard, this study aims to create the best classroom climate approach that will increase interest in mathematics and ensure academic success. For this purpose, mathematicians' views on the classroom climate approach and how they create them were discussed by using qualitative techniques. It was considered that teachers participating in this research are working in 9th grade in state high schools affiliated with the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus Ministry of Education, accepting students through examination. The researchers collected teacher views through a semistructured interview form and analyzed them using context analysis. The findings showed that teachers were in a hurry to teach and generally paid attention to creating a comfortable classroom climate in which students could express their thoughts and opinions. This situation also revealed a lack of adequate classroom climate approach skills among teachers. Therefore, the classroom climate approaches discussed in this study are expected to make a significant contribution to this field by offering solutions to teachers in creating a supportive classroom climate.
The article is devoted to the study of the issue of training future police officers to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in their professional activities. Based on the results of the theoretical analysis of scientific and applied works, modern trends in the development of drones in the activities of law enforcement agencies were identified, and the problem of their implementation in practical activities was outlined. An online survey was conducted in order to study the opinion of scientific, scientific and pedagogical workers and graduates of higher education institutions with specific learning conditions that train police officers about the need to train future police officers in the control of UAVs. The need to introduce into the system of primary professional training the training of service skills using drones is substantiated. On the basis of the study of the content of the training program for unmanned aircraft systems of the first class according to the basic qualification level of the first level, it is proposed to introduce the general professional educational unit “formation of skills and skills of controlling an UAV” into the training program of the primary professional training of police officers in the specified specialty.
English language teaching (ELT) in Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia, commonly known as pesantren, presents a unique context that requires a tailored pedagogical approach. This study aimed to explore the application of context-responsive pedagogy in ELT within the unique context of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia. This qualitative study employed semistructured interviews and classroom observation as data generation methods to gain insights into the experiences and perspectives of English language teachers regarding the implementation of context-responsive pedagogy in English language instruction. The findings revealed the importance of understanding learner needs, incorporating authentic materials, promoting cultural sensitivity, and effective use of technology in ELT practices in Islamic boarding school contexts. This study delves into how English language teachers navigated and negotiated their practices with the socio-cultural and religious values entrenched in this institution. It also highlighted the challenges English language teachers in this school context faced in the implementation of context-responsive pedagogy. Eventually, this research provides valuable insights for ELT practitioners, policymakers, and researchers interested in incorporating context-specific pedagogy to optimize ELT in Islamic boarding schools and similar educational contexts.
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a training curriculum intended to enhance the quality of life for the elderly. As Thailand witnesses a demographic shift with increasing numbers of older adults, driven by declining birth rates and extended life expectancies, the importance of ensuring quality elderly care becomes paramount. The devised curriculum encompasses eight principal elements focusing on the elderly, defined as those aged 60 and above, addressing their physical and mental changes, well-being, health, and overall satisfaction. The content is holistic, integrating components of music, art, health care, and exercise. Delivered over a two-day period, the curriculum employs a structured approach featuring lectures, discussions, and knowledge exchanges, supported by a range of media and materials. Initial assessments revealed a moderate quality of life among the elderly, but post-training evaluations indicated enhanced knowledge, understanding, and positive attitudes towards the activities, pointing to an overall high level of effectiveness of the curriculum.
The study of the role of the pedagogy of partnership (PoP) in building the professional competence of future primary school teachers is relevant in the context of modern educational and pedagogical transformations, which require the preparation of teachers for new challenges and creating a favourable learning environment. Therefore, the aim of our study was to check the effect of observing the pedagogical partnership principles in the educational process on the development of the communicative competence of future primary school teachers. The study employed the following psychodiagnostic methods: the Thomas-Kilmann conflict mode instrument (TKI), Myers-Briggs type indicator (MBTI), Snyder’s self-control in communication. The implementation of the PoP programme in higher education institutions (HEIs) has a positive effect on the development of the communicative competence of future teachers, in particular, on developing the ability for self-control and increasing the scope of psychological knowledge. The study revealed some important correlations. Our results indicate that cooperation and the ability to make compromises are directly related to the communicative abilities of future teachers. Further research can be focused on studying the impact of pedagogical partnership on other aspects of future teacher training, such as methodical mastery, motivation for learning and development.
This study examined the relationship between students’ academic performance, teachers’ commitment, and leadership behavior of school administrators. Teachers’ commitment was measured in two areas– commitment to job and commitment to organization and the leadership behavior of school administrators were evaluated in terms of consideration and initiating structure. Eighty-one teachers, 11 school heads, and 470 students served as respondents. The descriptive survey research technique, correlation analysis, and the following statistical methods were used: frequency, mean, standard deviation, and correlation coefficient. The study revealed that the initiating structure and consideration dimensions of leadership behavior affect teachers’ commitment to job (CTJ) and teacher’s commitment to organization (CTO). The correlation between CTJ and CTO and leadership behavior-initiating structure is positive and with leadership behavior-consideration negative. CTJ and CTO is correlated with the students’ academic performance in math, but not in Science and English. The correlation is negative. Students’ academic performance in all subject areas is negatively correlated with leadership behavior-initiating structure and has no significant relationship with leadership behavior-consideration. The leadership behavior-initiating structure is positively correlated with teachers’ commitment to both job and organization but has negative correlation with students’ academic performance in math, science, and English.
This study aims to describe preservice mathematics teacher knowledge of higher order thinking skills in terms of definition, Bloom's taxonomy level, curriculum, learning, and evaluation. This research is quantitative research with a survey method. and sample consisted of 248 preservice mathematics teachers in semesters VI - VIII of the Department of Mathematics Education, Nusa Cendana University, Timor University, and Wira Wacana Sumba University. The instrument used was a questionnaire about high order thinking skill (HOTS) which consisted of 105 statements. Data analysis used Likert's summeted rating, one sample test, Mann Whitney, Kruskall-Wallis tests, multiple linear regression test, and multivariate analyisis of variance (MANOVA) test. The results showed that the knowledge level of preservice mathematics teacher was in the good category. Based on gender differences, there was no significant difference in the average knowledge of preservice mathematics teacher about HOTS, there was a significant difference in the average knowledge of preservice mathematics teacher about HOTS which is significant based on differences in academic ability and gender differences do not significantly affect knowledge about HOTS levels in Bloom's taxonomy, curriculum, and pedagogy while academic knowledge has a significant effect on HOTS knowledge of preservice teachers in almost all aspects except for pedagogy.
Formative assessment is an evaluative practice developed in the classroom for the improvement of learning using evidence on student progression. The objective of this research is to compare sample groups from multigrade and single-grade classrooms on the theme of formative assessment based on the students' opinion of the teacher's performance. The method used was a comparative quantitative method. The sample type is a probability sample of 683 students from 5th to 8th grade from urban and rural schools in the commune of Longaví, located in the Maule Region of Chile. A validated Likert scale questionnaire with a high level of reliability (α = 0.93) was used. The results of the research showed that, in the six dimensions, the best teacher performance concerning formative assessment is found in multi-grade schools and not in single-grade schools. This can be explained on the basis of several reasons, among them the level of adaptability that teachers have in this type of classroom, the heterogeneous characteristics of the classroom (different ages and learning goals) and the need for teachers to monitor the learning progression of students with different classroom characteristics.
Financial literacy, as a fundamental skill in the 21st century, has become a life skill that is urgently needed to be improved. Globally, the drive to enhance financial literacy involves integrating it into the education curriculum, necessitating educators’ comprehensive grasp of financial literacy education before imparting it to students. This research aims to outline a conceptual model of financial literacy professional development to improve teachers’ professional competence, employing a narrative review that synthesizes 28 relevant literatures retrieved from Scopus databases. The results of the study show that an effective training model for teacher professional development (TPD) in financial literacy education should focus on essential financial literacy content consisting of planning and budgeting, banking services, income and careers, insurance, investment, savings, also spending and credit. Furthermore, the main characteristics of TPD regarding financial literacy education should encompass content focus, coherence, ownership, active learning, duration, and collective participation.
The objective of this research is to examine teachers' competence in designing activities after engaging in professional development activities aimed at enhancing teaching design in order to develop students' thinking abilities that are contextually appropriate. The participants consist of 5 elementary school science teachers from schools. The research employed semi-structured interviews and classroom observation as research instruments. The findings reveal that teachers engaged in self-development through observation and learning from their peers within the community of practice (CoP). They receive advice and feedback from fellow teachers and apply these insights to improve their activities. Consequently, teachers are able to continuously refine and develop their teaching approaches to align with students' contexts. This approach facilitate diversification in thinking and learning management, as well as collaborative teamwork to enhance teaching methods. As a result, engaging and interesting thinking development activities are incorporated into student learning, along with the creation of a seamless learning-promoting environment. Collaborative teamwork in instructional design and problem-solving further afford teachers the opportunity for additional self-learning and personal development. This collaborative approach also contributes to fostering cognitive diversity and relieved the need for individual teachers to undertake all tasks independently.
Adaptive online learning can be realized through the evaluation of the learning process. Monitoring and supervising learners’ cognitive levels and adjusting learning strategies can increasingly improve the quality of online learning. This analysis is made possible by real-time measurement of learners’ cognitive levels during the online learning process. However, most of the currently used techniques for evaluating cognitive levels rely on labour-intensive and time-consuming manual coding. In this study, we explore the machine learning (ML) algorithms and taxonomy of Bloom’s cognitive levels to explore features that affect learner’s cognitive level in online assessments and the ability to automatically predict learner’s cognitive level and thus, come up with a recommendation or pedagogical intervention to improve learner’s acquisition. The analysis of 15,182 learners’ assessments of a specific learning concept affirms the effectiveness of our approach. We attain an accuracy of 82.21% using ML algorithms. These results are very encouraging and have implications for how automated cognitive-level analysis tools for online learning will be developed in the future.
This systematic literature review (SLR) aimed to investigate the potential of digital online game-based learning (DOGBL) to enhance motivation in English as a foreign language (EFL). Online gaming has grown in popularity among students, opening up the possibility of using games as powerful instructional resources. Academic achievement depends on motivation, and this study, led by self-determination theory (SDT), explored how external rules, like rewards and recognition, could increase motivation in EFL utilizing DOGBL. The study used the SLR method, examining databases and choosing articles based on predetermined criteria. The chosen publications were examined in-depth, and a preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) diagram was employed for analysis. For results, DOGBL could enhance teaching EFL by providing flexible and interesting learning environments. Key elements in motivating in DOGBL included game design, personalization, social engagement, curricular integration, and instructor assistance. As a promising method to improve EFL instruction, game-based learning, especially DOGBL, saw considerable developments between 2018 and 2023. Thus, these ground-breaking techniques transformed the way people learn English vocabulary and provided a fun and engaging way to learn the language. For educators and students, the potential for DOGBL to change EFL education is still exciting as technology develops.
The development of postmodern-era technology in the world of education is increasingly sophisticated, thus impacting the character of students and their social environment. Technological progress negatively affects the lives of today's generation. When misuse of technology is widespread, it is imperative to strengthen cultural and religious filtration. So that the influence of globalization on technological development can be minimized. So as not to damage the cultural values and morality of students as the next generation of the nation. This study aims to explain the importance of transforming the values of Bima's local wisdom "Nggusu Waru" through the media of social studies e-books. The results and conclusions of this study are efforts to develop students' social character that require teacher collaboration, supervision, and optimal parental attention so that their interest in learning is higher and minimizes deviant behavior. This research method uses research and development design. At the stage of preliminary studies with models developed by Borg and Gall. Through several stages of research, information gathering, development of initial forms of products, and initial field testing. In this step, data is collected through interviews, observation and documentation. The data is analyzed to find out some of its weaknesses and shortcomings.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

books and student activity sheet (LKS). Student books an important part in achieving the Basic Competency
(KD) of the learners. Permendiknas No. 2 years (2008), stated that students' books as one of the teaching
materials, in type of printed material that is substantially functioning for students’ knowledge, compiled
based on the analysis of the curriculum, to facilitate teachers in learning and students to achieve competency
defined by curriculum, with attention to the language, the attractiveness, and reflects the idea of the author.
Books that facilitate students in learning carry out the study are called the students book, and the books that
allows teachers to implement learning called teachers book. Student’s book and teacher books, each has a
distinctive structure and components. To support the teaching materials in the achievement of basic
competencies (KD), students are also given the student activity sheets (LKS). This LKS is a student guide
that is used to conduct an inquiry or problem solving [1]. This activity sheet can be a guide for the
development of cognitive training and guidance for the development of all aspects of learning in the form of
experiment guidances or demonstrations. Flow analysis of materials development is as follows. Flow analysis

A question would be a problem if a person does not have any rules / specific law which can
immediately be used to find answers to that question [2-4]. Furthermore, it is mentioned that three terms of
matter is said to be a problem: if the problem is not yet known how the procedure done, if the matter
according to the level of thinking and the prerequisite knowledge of students, questions that are too easy or
too hard is not a problem, if students have the intention to solve it [5]. A question to be a problem depends on
the individual and the time. That is, a question is a problem for a child, but it may not be a problem for other
children. For example, "Andi has 9 dozen of glasses. How many cups are owned by Andi?" is a problem for
students grade 1 (one) but is not a problem for junior high school students. As for the following is one
example of a problem for junior high school students. “A basket of apples consists of green apples and red
apples. One fifth of them are green apples. The average weight is 10 grams for a green apple while the
average weight of 80 grams for the red apple”. What is the average weight of the whole apples? Or, a
question is an issue for one child at a time, but is not a problem anymore for the next time since he has
already known how or the process of solving the problem.
Problem Solving is an effort to find a way out of the difficulties in order to achieve goals that are not
so easy to achieve immediately [2], [6] means that the problem solving is a process of problems acceptance
as challenges to solve them. Solving the problem is not just a goal of learning mathematics but it is a major
tool to perform or work in mathematics [4]. Problem solving ability is general purpose in teaching
mathematics, even stated as the heart of mathematics; it means problem-solving ability is a basic ability in
learning mathematics. Furthermore, it is said that mathematical problem solving can improve students'
creativity and analytical ability; and can assist them in applying these capabilities in different situations.
There is four types of knowledge developed through solving the problem raised Copley (2000),
namely: declarative knowledge, procedural knowledege, schematic knowledge, and metacognitive
knowledge. The problem in mathematics is devided into six parts, namely: a routine, non-routine, regularly
applied, routine non-applied, applied non-routine, non-routine non-applied [2]. Routine problems are
problems that simply repeat the settlement procedure, such as algorithmic. There is no routine problem and
there are only problems that require planning settlement procedure completion, not just using the formula,
theory or proposition. Problems routinely applied, routine problems associated with the real world / the daily
life of the standard settlement procedures as they have been taught. Non-routine problems applied routine
matter more to math than is associated with the real world / everyday life. Non-routine problems of applied,
problem solution requires planning by correlating real world / everyday life and the solution may be open-
ended. The problem of non-regular non-applied, problems related purely on mathematical relationships. It
should be noted, there are four steps proposed phases of problem solving [6], namely to understand the

problems, plan solutions, solve problems and check back all the steps that have
been undertaken.
One of knowledge that can help in solving the problems is metacognitive skills. Metacognitive skills
refer to a person's cognitive activity for solving problems [7]. While a person's cognitive activity during solve
the problem referring to the three phases, namely: understand the purpose of the issue, calling back /
organizing knowledge, and to devise strategies to resolve the problem[8]. Cognitive skills are different from
metacognitive skills. Cognitive skills required carrying out the task, while the metacognitive skills necessary
to understand how to fulfill their tasks [9]. Metacognitive skills can be described as a routine representing
mental processing specific actions that are part of the complex process and is done in order to achieve goals
such as understanding what has been read [10]. Thus, metacognitive skills have a role in solving
mathematical problems.
Metacognitive skills holding is one important role for learning successfully [11-13]. Furthermore,
said students who use metacognitive skills have a better performance than students who do not use
metacognitive skills or have poor metacognitive skills. It is found that metacognitive skills are believed to
play an important role in many types of cognitive activities including comprehension, communication,
attention, memory, and problem solving [14].
Metacognitive skills are closely related to mathematical problem solving [15]. If any learning
activities conducted in accordance with metacognitive skills, then the problem solving ability of students will
undoubtedly be easily achieved optimal. Because with metacognitive skills, math problem-solving process
for students should understand the problem, planning the completion strategy, making decisions about what
to do, and to implement the decision. In the process they are supposed to monitor and check again what she
had done. If decisions are not appropriate, then they should try other alternatives or make a judgment. The
process of realizing their error, monitor the results of the work as well as find other alternatives are few
aspects of metacognition skills required in solving mathematical problems. Fauzi (2013), mathematical
problem solving ability of students strongly influenced by chance and exercises to develop metacognitive
skills. The application of problem-solving oriented learning strategy with metacognitive approach can
improve learning outcomes of students [16]. A person's success in resolving the issue also influenced by the
activity metakognisinya [7], [17], [18]. Metacognitive skills refer to the four aspects, namely, prediction
skills, planning skills, skills monitoring, and evaluation skills [19].
When keeping the above, it is necessary to immediately develop teaching materials designed to train
metacognitive skills to enhance the problem solving math learners. The problem is, how the process
development of teaching materials based metacognitive skills to improve problem-solving skills of learners?
How the results of the development of metacognitive skills-based teaching materials to improve problem-
solving skills of learners? Does metacognitive skills-based teaching materials produced quality (valid criteria,
practical, and effective)?.
2. RESEARCH METHOD
Methods used in this reserch are the research and development. Research and development are used to
produce a particular product, and test the quality of the product [20]. Research developments of a process or
steps inflate new products or enhance existing products, which can be accounted for. Steps in research and
development are shown as follows.
Subject trials in this research, students of class XI IPA-4 and grade XI-2 respectively numbered 25
students. Indicators of this study there are two ministered metacognitive skills and problem solving.
Metacognitive skills include: prediction skills, planning skills, skills monitoring, and evaluation skills. The
indocator of problem solving includes understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and
looking back.
Data collection techniques in stage 1, carried out through informants, conducted at the time of data
collection that is used to locate the problem and the potential that exists on the object of research, so that the
data obtained can be used as consideration in making the design of a product (teaching materials) second
stage of data collection was required at the time will make the design / drafting. Here, the researchers asked
the informant about the design considerations such as what products need to be made to help with the kind of
mathematical problem solving.
The data collection phase 3 testing is required at the design or product design. At this stage the
researchers ask for opinions, comments and suggestions of experts and practitioners that, when analyzed,
then used to revise the design. The technique of collecting data was using questionnaires. After the design
was revised, and then made into products is still a prototype or instructional materials. The products were
tested for a limited field, in the testing process needs to collect the data (data collection 4th) with observation
and questionnaires.

The model of development used, referring to the model of development of education in general [21]
which consists of five phases: the initial assessment phase, the design phase, the phase of realization/
construction phase of the test, evaluation, revision, and implementation phases.The criteria used in checking
products’ quality (teaching material) in this research follow criteria [22]. It is proved as qualified if the have
these aspects: validity, practicality, and effectiveness.
The data collected by conducting test, questionnaire, and observation. Research instruments
includes: validation questionnaire of teaching material and its instruments, questionnaire of students’
responses to the teaching material, observation sheet of students activities, observation sheet of learning
implementation, and observation sheet of learning management. Before using it, the instruments are validated
first by several experts and practicioners from education and development field. It can be used to assess or
measure if the analysis result by the experts show: the whole components of instruments and teaching
material are valid, reliable, or reaching its validity and reliability.
The criteria used to summarize that teaching material reaches the qualified validity extent (i) is
presented by X for whole minimum aspect in “quite valid” category, and (ii) as i
A for each minimum
aspect in “valid” category. Next, the reliability of the assessment sheet of teaching material which is
measured by using Borich’s (1994) percentage of agreements formula as follows:

The criteria of the implemented learning model considered as reliable if the reliability ( R ) ≥ 0,75
[23]. The standard of learning achievement in learning mastery criteria aspect is obtained by a student who
gets score (S) 75 achieves mastery learning of individual. If there are 75% students at least achieving 75 as
minimum score, then mastery learning classical is achieved.
The standard of learning achievement by the aspect of the application of metacognitive ability in
solving problems is achieved if a student at least gets “fair” category. While the mastery learning as general
is achieved if three aspects (solving problem, learning mastery, ability standard to optimalize metacognitive
skill in solving math problems) can be fulfilled.
The standard criteria for claiming the students which have positive responses to the teaching
material are more than 50% compared to those who positively respond 70% as minimum involving aspects.
Students’ positive responses to the developing teaching material is proved if the criteria of students’ positive
responses by the aspect of teaching material (textbook and student’s worksheets) are achieved.
The criteria used to summarize that the teacher’s skill (kemampuan guru/KG)in managing learning
by using the developing teaching material is proper if the minimum category of KG categorized as “fair”.
Next, the standard criteria to claim the effectiveness of the developing teaching material positions as 3 of 4
effective model standards, such as (1) learning achievement standard, (2) learning management standard, (3)
students’ activities standard, and (4) students’ responses standard , which is fulfilled by the first standard
above (learning achievement standard involving how to solve mathematic problems, learning mastery, and
students’ metacognive skill) have to be achieved.

Table 2 explains the Trial I as a whole observation of the teaching material component which is
obtained by the average score X = 1.67. Based on the approved criteria of the implemented teaching
material, the score categorized as “completely implemented” (1,5 x 2,0). Therefore, the two observers
agree that the implemented teaching material component achievepercentage of agreement (PA) = 0, 98%. If
confirmed with the implementation criteria ( R ) ≥ 0,75, then it can be concluded that the teaching material
component are completely implemented.While on the Trial II as a whole observation of the teaching material
component in Table 2 which is obtained by the average score of all the model components as X = 1,7. Based
on the approved criteria of the implemented teaching material, the score categorized as “completely
implemented” (1,5 x 2,0). Therefore, the two observers agree that the implemented teaching material
component achievepercentage of agreement (PA) = 100%. If confirmed with the implementation criteria ( R
) ≥ 0,75, then it can be concluded that the teaching material component are completely implemented.As the
result, based on the apprroved criteria of the implementation, metacognitive skills-based teaching materials
are proved as practical through two trials.
Data analysis of the students’ learning mastery in the Trial I as listed in Table 2 shows the students’
learning mastery in which only about 44% of the students scored above 7.5, thus the the students' learning
mastery in the Trial I did not meet the criterion of learning mastery. While the data analysis of the students’
learning mastery in the Trial II, as in Table 2, shows that there are 76% of the students who scored above 7.5
or met the criterion of learning mastery. Thus, in the Trial II the students’ learning mastery met the criterion
of learning mastery.
Theresults of the data analysisonthestudents’ activities in the Trial I as listed in Table 2 show
thattherewereonly 5 of 8 activitiesmeetingthecriterion. Although 5 of 8 activitiesmetthecriterion,
buttherewasstill a coreactivitythatdidnotmeetthecriterion. Thus, thestudents’ activities in the Trial I
didnotmeettheexpectedcriterion. Meanwhile, the Trial II shows thattheoverallactivitiesmetthecriterion,
thenthestudents’ activities in the Trial II mettheexpectedcriterion.
The results of the data analysis on the teacher’s ability to manage teaching and learning with
metacognitive skills-based teaching material in the Trial I as in Table 2 reveal the mean score of the teacher’s
ability of 3.6 (classified as very good). According to the criterion, the ability of the teacher to manage
teaching and learning with metacognitive skills-based teaching material is as expected. Although in general
the ability of the teacher to manage teaching and learning with metacognitive skill-based teaching material is
considered good, there is something of which implementation needs to be improved in the Trial II.
Meanwhile, the results of the data analysis on the ability of the teacher to manage teaching and learning with
the metacognitive skill-based teaching material in the Trial II (Table 2) show that the mean score of the
ability of the teacher is 3.6 (classified as very good). According to the criterion, the ability of the teacher to
manage teaching and learning with metacognitive skill-based teaching material is as expected.
Students’ responses to the implementation of the metacognitive skill-based teaching material are
divided into two aspects, namely responses to the students' books, and responses to the students’ worksheet
(LKS). The results of the analysis of the students' responses to the implementation of the metacognitive skill-
based teaching material in the Try Out I as shown in Table 2 show that there are 84% of the students who
gave a positive response to the students' books, and 68% of the students who gave a positive response to the
students’ worksheet. Thus according to the criterion, in the Trial I students responded positively to the
teaching and with metacognitive skill-based teaching material.
4. DISCUSSION
Based on the results of the validity test that have been described in the research findings earlier, it
can be concluded that metacognitive skill-based teaching material entirely meets the validity criteria, but the
suggestions of the validator must be taken into account.
Theoretically, based on an expert’s assessment, metacognitive skill-based teaching material is
feasible to implement in the classroom. Empirically, based on the observation, the implementation of the
POKM model in the Trial I meets the criteria of practicality and increases in the Trial II. For each component
of the POKM model, however, there are still some aspects of which implementation still needs to be
improved in the Trial II.
Factors that make some aspects of learning with metacognitive skill-based teaching material not
implemented in the Trial I include: (1) the teacher was not familiar with the implementation of metacognitive
skill-based teaching material, especially its integration with a new aspect (metacognition skill) in teaching
and learning, (2) the teacher was still difficult to manage the class well, because the implementation of this

material requires the habits of the students’ learning to change from the previous learning to a
learning that follows the implementation of the metacognitive skill-based teaching material that requires
considerable time.
Based in the consideration above, before the Trial II was implemented, the teacher was trained more
intensively in implementing the metacognitive skill-based teaching material, especially related to the training
process of implementing metacognitive skills for the students, so that the results of the observation of the
implementation of metacognitive skill-based teaching material in the Trial II can be maximized. In this case,
in the Trial II, the teacher should have been familiar with the application of metacognitive skill-based
teaching material.
As previously explained, the effectiveness of teaching and learning with metacognitive skill-based
teaching material is determined by four components including: learning achievement, students’ activities, the
teacher's ability to manage teaching and learning, and the students’ responses to the teaching material.
Of the four components mentioned above, in the Trial I there were only two components met; the
ability of the teacher to manage learning with metacognitive skill-based teaching material and the students’
responses to metacognitive skill-based teaching material. However, in the Trial II met all these components.
Two components of effectiveness that were not met are learning achievement and students’
activities. Both aspects mutually affect each another. The characteristics of metacognitive skill-based
teaching material are the students’ activities in terms of following the training process of implementing
metacognitive skills in problem solving in addition to the knowledgeconstruction activities. If the students
are less actively involved in the training process of implementing metacognitive skills, then automatically the
students’ problem-solving ability in mathematics is not optimal.
5. CONCLUSION
Metacognitive skill-based teachingmaterial as a product of thisresearch and
developmentisconsideredvalid. On the one hand, in the Trial I, the resultsachievedinclude: (1) the
implementation of metacognitiveskills-basedteachingmaterialwaspractical, (2) the implementation of
metacognitiveskills-basedteachingmaterialwas not effective, because the classicalcompletenesswas not
reached and the studentsactivitieswere not as expectedeventhough the students’ responseswere positive and
the ability of the teacher to manage teaching and learningwasclassified as "good" or "excellent". On the other
hand, in the Trial II, the resultsachieved are: (1) the implementation of metacognitiveskill-
basedteachingmaterialwaspractical, (2) the implementation of metacognitiveskill-basedteachingmaterialwas
effective, because the classicalcompletenesswasreached, the students’ activitieswere as expected, the ability
of the teacher to manage learningwasclassified as "very good", and the students' responses to the
materialwere "positive".The metacognitiveskill-basedteachingmaterialproducedis of ahighquality (meeting
the validitycriteria, practical, and effective) through a developmentprocess, and indicated to be able to
improveproblemsolvingability in mathematics
