Improving Multiplication Performance in Students with Dyscalculia Using GARISMATIKA: A Single-Subject Design

This study investigates the effectiveness of the GARISMATIKA method – a structured, visually based instructional approach – in enhancing multiplication skills among eighth-grade students with dyscalculia. Employing a single-subject research (SSR) design with an A-B-A structure, the intervention was conducted at SMP Negeri 9 Bogor with one male student formally diagnosed with dyscalculia. The instructional focus was on solving multiplication problems involving three-digit numbers. Data were collected through systematic observation and analyzed using visual trend analysis. The results indicated significant improvements in multiplication accuracy during the intervention phase, with performance gains sustained in the follow-up phase. These findings underscore the potential of GARISMATIKA as an effective and inclusive educational tool for addressing specific mathematical learning disabilities and support its broader implementation in differentiated mathematics instruction within inclusive classroom settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the GARISMATIKA method – a structured, visually based instructional approach – in enhancing multiplication skills among eighth-grade students with dyscalculia. Employing a single-subject research (SSR) design with an A-B-A structure, the intervention was conducted at SMP Negeri 9 Bogor with one male student formally diagnosed with dyscalculia. The instructional focus was on solving multiplication problems involving three-digit numbers. Data were collected through systematic observation and analyzed using visual trend analysis. The results indicated significant improvements in multiplication accuracy during the intervention phase, with performance gains sustained in the follow-up phase. These findings underscore the potential of GARISMATIKA as an effective and inclusive educational tool for addressing specific mathematical learning disabilities and support its broader implementation in differentiated mathematics instruction within inclusive classroom settings.
