The Application of Joyful Learning in Mathematics: A Systematic Study of Its Effectiveness and Impact

Abstract

. Education in human life has a crucial role and is considered a fundamental aspect. There are various subject concepts that must be mastered by students when they are in formal education, one of which is mathematics. Facts in the field show that most students assume that mathematics is known as a complicated and difficult subject that is related to numbers and calculations. The purpose of this writing is to provide study results related to the implementation of joyful learning in mathematics learning. The research method used in this writing is a systematic literature review. The research findings are a systematic study of the effectiveness and impact of the implementation of joyful learning in mathematics learning activities, including increasing interest in learning, increasing student learning outcomes, having a positive impact on attitudes towards mathematics, increasing academic achievement, increasing problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills, stimulating learning motivation, developing social and collaboration skills, and increasing understanding of mathematical concepts. The implementation of joyful learning in learning activities is one approach that aims to create a learning experience that is not boring, full of enthusiasm, and enjoyable. The concept of joyful learning is to prioritize joy and happiness in the learning activities carried out. Learning using joyful learning focuses on activities that create positive experiences, creativity, active interactions, and through the existence of a pleasant atmosphere in learning activities.
