    Analysis of Interaction Design in Braille Al-Qur’an Learning App for Visually Impaired People

    Authors: Adam Mukharil Bachtiar, Dian Dharmayanti, Fitri Febriani

    Abstract

    This research was conducted to help User Interface/User Experience (UI/UX) designer to produce appropriate UI/UX design on braille Al-Qur’an learning application for visually impaired people. For this objective, basic steps of the interaction design activity was carried out with participatory design approach. Using this approach, the resulting interaction design concepts can be adjusted to the perspective of visually impaired people. The main content of the discussion including understanding user, creating conceptual design, wireframing, prototyping, and testing/evaluating. The resulting interface design is then implemented in the form of a native prototype. Based on the results of testing the prototype of the Al-Qur’an braille text learning application, the average value of the performance fulfilled the purpose of the test. Thus, it can be concluded that the interaction design model of the Al-Qur’an braille text learning application produced in this study has reached its goal and is proper for visually impaired people. © 2020 Taylor’s University.

  • Junior High School Students in Solving Mathematical Ill-Structured Problems: Analyzing Using Harel Theory

    Junior High School Students in Solving Mathematical Ill-Structured Problems: Analyzing Using Harel Theory

    Authors: Shelly Morin, Didi Suryadi, Sufyani Prabawanto, Dedi Sulistiyo

    Abstract

    This study explored how students think when solving ill-structured mathematics problems. This research method was a qualitative case study involving class VIII junior high school students. Data collection techniques were done by giving ill-structured mathematics problems in the form of geometry material, observation, and in-depth interviews. Furthermore, after students solved the problem; to further describe the student’s answers, in-depth interviews were conducted to explore and dig up further information. The results showed that some issues were found: the complexity of the problems given to students became a challenge in solving unstructured geometry problems, students had difficulties interpreting the problem due to limited prior knowledge, especially regarding geometry material, and the problems given required creativity in finding solutions. Students’ constraints were in the lack of prior knowledge, especially geometry materials, and creativity to find and establish strategies to build solutions according to their knowledge. This research contributed to uncovering students’ thought processes when constructing solutions based on their prior knowledge to identify learning difficulties in more depth. This research also showed that the diversity of students’ ways of thinking provides different problem-solving opportunities. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Enhancing Students’ Advanced Mathematical Thinking in Algebra through Three Worlds Journeys on Mathematics Worksheets

    Enhancing Students’ Advanced Mathematical Thinking in Algebra through Three Worlds Journeys on Mathematics Worksheets

    Authors: Nadya Dewinda Agustin, Mohamad Syarif Sumantri, Arita Marini, Sri Pernia Warakmulty

    Abstract

    This study investigates the development of primary students’ advanced mathematical thinking (AMT) skills in solving algebra problems using worksheets based on Tall’s three-worlds journey of mathematics. Employing an explanatory sequential design, this research integrated quantitative and qualitative data from 40 fifth-grade students. Instruments and data analyses were validated through expert judgment and triangulation. The findings reveal that students achieved AMT skills, including mathematical representation, creativity, abstraction, and proof. Approximately 40% of students reached the natural phase, 35% progressed to the natural-to-formal phase, and 35% attained the formal-axiomatic phase. These results occurred because Tall’s approach leverages children’s natural tendencies to play, imagine, and explore, fostering deeper reasoning. This study impacts mathematics education by demonstrating that AMT skills can be nurtured at the primary level through structured scaffolding, enhancing students’ cognitive development and problem-solving abilities in algebra. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
