The widespread use of smartphones to play games and the lack of use as a medium for learning mathematics is the reason for the need for the development of smartphone-based edutainment learning media. The purpose of this research is to design and develop interactive edutainment learning applications of mobile mathematics games to help junior high school students to learn line and angles material. This mobile game-based application incorporates graphic design, background music, and animation, and a major structural element in game development to attract students. This research belongs to the type of Research and Development (R&D) and the model used is the ADDIE model that is carried out in a systematic stage. The results of the study show that the developed game meets the valid aspects, where the level of expert approval of the design functionality has an average value of 4,49 out of 5, meanwhile, the assessment of the material has an average score of 4,17 out of 5 and the user states that the game meets the practical aspect with an average score of  3,75 out of 5. It is hoped that this game-based learning application called "CORNER" for mobile devices can act as an additional tool for improving students' conceptual understanding and interest to learn through the scientific approach used.

This development research adopts the ADDIE development model with stages including Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The quality of LKPD was viewed from the assessment of material experts, media experts, and students’ responses. The instrument used was a material expert questionnaire, a media expert questionnaire, and a students’ response questionnaire. LKPD was piloted on 32 seventh grade students of private junior high schools, namely SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The developed LKPD contained learning activities according to PBL steps, presented problems related to everyday life at the beginning of learning, and could be used in online learning. In terms of the material aspect, LKPD was considered good with an average score of assessment by material experts, namely 4.00. In terms of the media aspect, LKPD was considered good with a score of 3.6 by media experts. Students’ responses to the use of LKPD were included in the good category with an average score of assessment of 4.05. It could be concluded that the PBL-based LKPD for seventh-grade junior high school students on the topic of angles was feasible for use in the implementation of mathematics learning.

Purpose: Research has confirmed that students’ mathematics values significantly affect their mathematics learning. Accordingly, understanding how students’ values form and change, especially during different learning stages, is an important topic. Design/Approach/Methods: This study administered a questionnaire to investigate the values of primary, junior high, and senior high school students in Eastern China. A principal component analysis was conducted to investigate the factor structure of the students’ learning values. Then, paired sample t-tests were used to examine the differences in the two continuous categories ranking of each group, and a one-way analysis of variance with a Brown–Forsythe test was used to test the differences in the ranking of each dimension by the different grade-level groups. Findings: We found that students’ mathematics learning values consist of seven elements: culture, memorization, technology, objectism, practice, understanding, and control. Students placed different degrees of importance on these seven elements at different learning stages. Additionally, we found that junior high school is a critical period of change in students’ values. Originality/Value: These findings will be invaluable to teachers and educators as they reflect on their teaching approaches. Moreover, the findings that students’ values undergo changes in the course of their schooling are important information for educators seeking to foster students’ learning.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menghasilkan soal matematika model TIMSS yang valid dan praktis untuk siswa SMP berdasarkan Kurikulum 2013. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian pengembangan. Proses pendesainan soal sebagai instrumen penilaian dilakukan dengan prototyping. Prototyping meliputi dua tahap. Prototipe I merupakan hasil desain dan penyusunan soal-soal oleh peneliti sendiri, sedang prototipe II revisi dari prototipe I berdasarkan masukan dari pakar, teman sejawat, dan guru matematika, yang berupa catatan validator dan notulensi diskusi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa buku soal yang disusun dengan pengelompokan bab mengikuti ranah materi seperti dalam TIMSS, yakni bilangan, geometri, aljabar, data dan peluang. Buku soal untuk siswa tidak perlu ada tulisan mengenai ranah materi, topik pokok, dan ranah kognitif. Masukan untuk perbaikan dari FGD adalah soal sebaiknya diawali dari yang mudah, sedang, baru yang sulit. Penulisan soal pilihan ganda lebih baik tidak menggunakan kalimat tanya, melainkan dengan membuat pernyataan yang memuat titik-titik, baik di tengah atau di akhir kalimat. Soal sebaiknya tidak memuat pernyataan implikasi. Kata kunci: Pengembangan soal, matematika SMP, TIMSS, Kurikulum 2013DEVELOPING THE TIMSS MATH PROBLEM MODEL TO SUPPORT THE MATHEMATICS LEARNING IN GRADE VII USING THE 2013 CURRICULUM Abstract: This study was aimed to produce a valid and practical TIMMS math problem model for junior high school students using the 2013 curriculum. The study used the research and development design. The design process of the problems as assessment instruments was carried out through prototyping involving two stages. Prototype I was the design product and the problem development done by the researchers themselves, while Prototype II was the revision of Prototype I based on the feedback provided by experts, colleagues, and Mathematics teachers in the form of validators’ notes and the minutes taken from discussions. The findings showed that the book of math problems was written by grouping the chapters following the materials domains as those in TIMSS, that is, numbers, geometry, algebra, data, and probability. For the student book, it was not nsecessary to write the materials domain, the essential topics, and the cognitive domain. The feedback from the FGD was that the problems should be arranged from the easiest ones to the most difficult ones. The multiple choice items should not be written in the form of questions, but in the form of incomplete sentences with the blanks in the middle or the end of the sentences. The items should not ask about implication. Keywords: Development of problems, junior high school mathematics, TIMSS, Curriculum 2013
