The declining interest of learners in mathematics in the learning process has resulted in poor achievement (Yeh et al., 2019). To get rid of these poor achievements, we explored project-based teaching in four topical areas (e.g., mathematical concepts of coordinate geometry, trigonometry, sequence, and series) in the school mathematics. This paper results from observing changes in engagement of learners in learning mathematics by motivating them through the project-based learning (PBL) guided by two theories – knowledge constitutive interests (Habermas, 1972), and collaborative and cooperative learning under the paradigms of interpretivism and criticalism. In this ethos, PBL is an “engaging and learner-directed approach that provides equal opportunities for students to explore their knowledge and understanding” (Thomas, 2000, p. 12). More specifically, we adopted the 'action research' method with the secondary level students (Grade IX) of one of the institutional schools in their classrooms. The information was collected by observing and recording the changes seen in consecutive seventeen days. The research landed that project-based learning is an appropriate pedagogy for engaged learning. The study revealed that the students were motivated while they got opportunities to interact in the projects. Moreover, the findings show that PBL is helpful to engage the learners through questioning, pair/group discussion, discovery learning, and concept mapping.

Media Learning

This research starts from the low results of learning mathematics students. This can be seen in the daily test of students who are below the Minimum Completion Criteria (MCC). One reason is a low understanding of mathematical concepts. Low understanding of concepts is due to the fact that mathematics is still abstracted by students. Abstract mathematical concepts for students will be easily understood if learning uses learning media. Learning carried out is discovery learning using manipulative chessboard media. This study aims to determine the improvement in learning outcomes of students of class XI MIPA 1 SMAN 1 Pangkalan Kerinci and conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation and reflection. The research data collected is data on learning outcomes and field notes. The collected data was analyzed descriptively. The results of this study indicate that the use of manipulate chess shooting media with discovery learning methods can improve learning outcomes. The learning outcomes of students from the first cycle and second cycle increased by 36.11%. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that the use of manipulate chess shooting media with guided methods can improve learning outcomes on the subject of geometric transformation.

Learning activeness is a provision that must be possessed by every student in learning mathematics because active learning affects the conceptual ability of students. The problem that was found by the researcher during the observation time was the low student learning activeness so that the students' ability to understand concepts was still low in learning mathematics. The purpose of this study was to analyze how much influence active learning has on the ability to understand mathematical concepts using discovery learning models. This research is a quantitative experiment with the one-shot case study design type. The sample in this study were 40 students of grade V SD. Data collection techniques consisted of a written test of the ability to understand concepts and observation of learning activeness. The data analysis technique in this study includes a simple linear regression test. Based on the research results, it shows that learning activeness has a positive and significant effect of 69.8% on the ability to understand mathematical concepts using discovery learning models. This means that if the higher the student's learning activeness, the higher the results of understanding the students' mathematical concepts.

Technology has significantly emerged in various fields, including healthcare, government, and education. In the education field, students of all ages and backgrounds turn to modern technologies for learning instead of traditional methods, especially under challenging courses such as mathematics. However, students face many problems in understanding mathematical concepts and understanding how to benefit from them in real-life. Therefore, it can be challenging to design scientific materials suitable for learning mathematics and clarifying their applications in life that meet the students’ preferences. To solve this issue, we designed and developed an interactive platform based on user experience to learn an advanced concept in the idea of linear algebra called Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and its applicability in image compression. The proposed platform considered the common design principles to map between the provider in terms of clear mathematical explanation and the receiver in terms of matching good user experience. Twenty participants between the ages of 16 and 30 tested the proposed platform. The results showed that learning using it gives better results than learning traditionally in terms of the number of correct and incorrect actions, effectiveness, efficiency, and safety factors. Consequently, we can say that designing an interactive learning platform to explain an advanced mathematical concept and clarify its applications in real-life is preferable by considering and following the common design principles.
