“…Training Colleges with some concepts (trigonometry, logarithm, combinatory and calculus) that very few students like and succeed at, and which most students do not like and struggle with (Mensah, 2017). The common complaint of students is that they will never make use of the trigonometry they learn in schools (Sulistyaningsih et al, 2021). However, they forget that trigonometry is an area of mathematics that, in fact, they will use in their lifetime and whose applications are numerous (Maknun et al, 2022).…”

Trigonometry is a challenging area of mathematics for many students, especially for pre-service primary teachers in TTCs. The Symbolab calculator, software developed to assist mathematicians in solving complex problems, is used to improve students' performance and understanding. This study investigated the effectiveness of using the Symbolab calculator on second-year student-teachers, comparing their performance with those without the calculator. The data was analysed using the t-test. The findings showed that the integration of the Symbolab calculator significantly improved students' performance and understanding, reducing the time taken to solve trigonometric equations. It is recommended that further research be conducted on the effectiveness of combining different instructional methods in trigonometry instruction. There is a need to encourage teachers to adopt various pedagogical strategies for improved learning outcomes.

Transportation of goods using trucks is an irreplaceable method. However, it is undeniable that the truck-based method of transporting goods often attracts controversies, such as over-loading and products containing hazardous chemicals. This makes the need for automation of loading goods to trucks so that intentional or unintentional errors such as overloading and damage caused when an accident occurs in the process of loading chemical goods can be minimized. Of the four stages proposed in the automation process, namely (1) Trucks enter the cargo loading area, (2) Measurement of the volume or capacity of the vessel, (3) Calculation of the ideal arrangement of products on the vessel, and (4) The process of loading goods using a robotic devices. This article contains the design process for measuring the volume or capacity of the vessel. The measurement process is carried out using a plus (+) laser module and the steps taken in the measurement process are scanning the vessel that is highlighted using the laser module at several angles using a camera and calculating the length, width, and height of the body using trigonometric formulas. With the automation of loading goods, it is hoped that human intervention in the loading and unloading process can be eliminated so that errors that may occur can be minimized.

“…Some studies emphasized that trigonometry is a fundamental subject of algebra and geometry (Sarac, 2017;Zulfa et al, 2020). A strong understanding of trigonometry can improve students' cognitive skills (Sulistyaningsih et al, 2021) and critical thinking through reasoning and proof skills (Phonapichat et al, 2014).…”

“…Several studies found students' misconceptions about trigonometric concepts and trigonometric problems. Five types of student errors in trigonometry problems such as reading symbols did not understand the problem, mathematical modeling, and students inaccuracy in the answering process (Sulistyaningsih et al, 2021). The study of mathematics education student's errors using Newman in doing trigonometry problems is the misconception of the concept (Ahmad et al, 2018).…”

This study was motivated by student errors in trigonometry. This study aimed to describe the types of student errors in solving trigonometry problems using the Newman error analysis procedure. This research is descriptive qualitative with the subjects of vocational high school students. Data collection involved written tests, depth interviews, and documentation. The results show that most students made comprehension and transformation errors. The comprehension errors consisted of not writing down what was known and asked; immediately writing down the completion process with the wrong formula and incorrect understanding of the concept of the basic trigonometric formula. The transformation errors were not being able to transform information on the problem into the mathematical model, and incorrect in mentioning the formula.
