This research is pre-experimental research with a one group pretest - posttest. The population in this study were all 47 class VII students of Mts Ihya Ulumiddin who were divided into two classes. The class used as the research sample was class VIIA with the sampling technique used was cluster random sampling. The results of the descriptive analysis show that student learning outcomes after applying the constructivist approach are categorized as high with an average of 77.26 and before the constructivist approach is applied, student learning outcomes are categorized as low with an average of 33.37. The results of this analysis provide an illustration that mathematics learning outcomes have experienced a significant increase from pretest to posttest with a gain value &gt; 0.7. The average percentage of student responses was in the positive category. The average percentage of student activity in the good category. From the results of this research, it was concluded that the application of a constructivist approach was effective in improving students' mathematics learning outcomes.</p> 2025-05-25T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Rizky Ramadhana https://ejournal.insightpublisher.com/index.php/GENIUS/article/view/235 Upaya Peningkatan Hasil Belajar Matematika Dengan Menggunakan Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Think Pair Share (TPS) Berbantuan LKS Pada Siswa Kelas VIII SMP Makassar Raya 2025-05-20T04:08:22+00:00 Abdul Hadi abdulhadi030786@gmail.com <p>This study aims to determine whether TPS of cooperative learning model can improve students' mathematics learning outcomes.

Using a Classroom Action Research design, this study was conducted through structured learning stages consisting of Identifying, Observing, and Concluding. Students were actively engaged in exploration, visual construction, and reflection through the use of GeoGebra integrated into digital worksheets (LKPD). Data were collected through observation and student questionnaires and analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the use of GeoGebra significantly enhances student engagement and understanding of abstract mathematical concepts by enabling direct interaction and visualization. Most students demonstrated improved abilities in defining and representing the elements of a circle, as well as calculating area and circumference independently. Moreover, the integration of reflective activities strengthened conceptual understanding and promoted student-centered learning. Although implementation was deemed effective, this study also identified several challenges such as students' initial unfamiliarity with the GeoGebra interface and technical limitations related to internet access and digital devices. These results suggest that GeoGebra is a powerful constructivist tool in mathematics education, provided it is supported by clear instructional guidance and adequate technological infrastructure. This research contributes to addressing the gap in the application of GeoGebra in circle geometry instruction at the secondary education level, particularly in promoting exploratory and reflective learning through digital worksheets.</p> 2025-04-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Irfan Pratama Amrin, Nasrullah, Fauziyyah Alimuddin https://ejournal.insightpublisher.com/index.php/GENIUS/article/view/228 Analisis Literatur dengan Pendekatan Scoping Review: Tren Pemanfaatan AI dalam Pembelajaran di Sekolah Dasar 2025-05-05T06:37:54+00:00 A.

This study aims to examine the relationship between learning motivation and academic achievement among students in the Basic Science Concepts course. The research subjects consisted of 161 students from the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Study Program at Universitas Negeri Makassar who were enrolled in the course. A correlational quantitative method was employed, with data analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test indicated that the data were not normally distributed (significance = 0.001), prompting the use of a non-parametric correlation test. The Spearman test results revealed a significant relationship between learning motivation and academic achievement (significance = 0.001) with a correlation coefficient of 0.325, indicating a low-strength positive correlation. These findings suggest that learning motivation contributes to students’ academic achievement, although not dominantly. Therefore, strategies to enhance learning motivation should be continuously developed to support students' academic performance, particularly in basic science learning.</p> 2025-05-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Siti Zahra Mulianti Natsir
