Mathematical problem-solving is important for learning mathematics and is needed in the 21st century. In the 21st century, education technology has been complementing every learning activity. Research on learners’ mathematical problem-solving improvement increased rapidly over the last few decades. This study examined the effectiveness of technology-based mathematics learning interventions on learners’ mathematical problemsolving at all levels of education in Indonesia. The researchers only took meta-analysis research from 2015 to 2023 from indexing databases, such as Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Science and Technology Index (SINTA) indexers. The collected research articles were from only national journals in Indonesia. The screened data became the research results, containing the mean, standard deviation, number of samples (N), and the scale used in the research. This research had 19 independent studies in this meta-analysis. The data analysis applied meta-analysis, specifically the mean effect size value. The results of data analysis using Jeffrey’s Amazing Statistics Program (JASP) software showed the effective implementation of innovative and fun technology-based mathematics learning interventions. These findings highlighted the importance of incorporating technology into mathematics education and its potential for improving learners’ problemsolving skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research was motivated by the fact that the mathematical problem-solving ability of junior high school students during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia was low. The strategy and approach used in learning mathematics are success factors in the mathematics learning process. One of the objectives of this research is to analyze the mathematical problem-solving ability of junior high school students using mobile learning with the Microsoft Kaizala application. The method used in this research is an experiment with a Pre-Experimental Design Research and One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design Research Design. The research was conducted at SMPN 50 Satap Oku, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency, South Sumatra Province. The results showed that the final mathematical problemsolving ability of students who received learning using mobile learning with the Microsoft Kaizala application was better than the students' initial mathematical problem-solving ability and the average percentage of students' mathematical problem-solving ability achievement after using the Microsoft Kaizala application was 85.16% (excellent). It means that the students' problem-solving ability is getting better after using mobile learning with Microsoft Kaizala application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
