The teacher’s mathematical ability is one of the factors that influence the achievement of students’ mathematical abilities. In Indonesia, almost all research related to PISA, the subject of research was a student. It is still rare that the subject of research was a teacher. How is the math literacy ability of the teachers? This question will be answered by researchers in this study, especially in the field of space and shape. The subjects were seven Mathematics teachers who taught in junior high schools from seven different schools in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas. In the process of this research, the researcher makes a test adapted from PISA questions. There were 13 questions in the test consisting of three questions in the quantity field, three questions in the uncertainty field, three questions in the field of change and relationship, and four questions in the field of space and shape. In this paper, we will present our result just for the Space and Shape part. The study found that (1) 7 teachers could achieve level 4 for problem 1a, (2) 6 teachers could achieve level 5 for problem 1b, (3) 2 teachers could achieve level 5 for problem 2, (4) 1 teacher could achieve level 5 and 6 for problem 3, and (4) 6 teachers could achieve level 6 for problem 4.
This experimental study examines the effectiveness of Quizizz application in enhancing Junior High School students' vocabulary mastery. The study aims to address the problem of low scores in English vocabulary among Junior High School students, and investigates whether the use of Quizizz as an interesting and interactive media can improve their vocabulary mastery. The study employed a pre-test and post-test control group design, with 22 students in the experimental group and 23 students in the control group selected using random sampling. The experimental group received were taught using Quizizz, while the control group used other similar web-apps. Both groups received instruction in vocabulary. The study found that the use of Quizizz significantly improved students' vocabulary mastery, as evidenced by the higher mean score of the experimental group (81.68) compared to the control group (77.21). However, the study's findings are limited to Junior High School students and may not generalize to other age groups or contexts. The findings suggest that incorporating interactive and engaging online learning tools such as Quizizz can be a promising approach to addressing the problem of low scores in English vocabulary among Junior High School students. However, further research is needed to determine the generalizability of these findings to other age groups and contexts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
