Abstract

This study aims to empower mathematics teachers in evaluating textbooks through the praxeological approach and the development of a constructive skepticism attitude. Textbooks are often used without critical evaluation, which can hinder the development of students' critical thinking skills. The praxeological approach provides a framework based on practical experience, while constructive skepticism encourages in-depth analysis of textbook content. The study employed a qualitative method with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, involving 20 mathematics teachers in Sukabumi. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, which explored teachers' criteria for textbook evaluation, challenges in using textbooks, and their attitudes toward textbook content. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data, allowing the identification of patterns and themes related to teachers' evaluation practices. The results showed that training based on praxeology and constructive skepticism improved teachers' ability to evaluate textbooks, identify weaknesses, and select more relevant materials. This study recommends collaborative training programs to support more critical textbook evaluations, with the goal of enhancing the quality of mathematics education in Indonesia.

Abstract

The quality of mathematics learning in schools largely depends on teachers' ability to understand students' learning obstacles and design appropriate didactical anticipations. This community service activity aimed to mentor elementary and junior high school mathematics teachers through a Research Clinic Didactical Design Research (DDR) format so that they can identify learning obstacles and design didactical-pedagogical anticipations (ADP) on the topic of fractions. The activity was conducted over a three-day intensive workshop involving 25 mathematics teachers, comprising socialization, workshop/mentoring, and reflection stages. Instruments included LO identification worksheets, pre-test and post-test of DDR concept understanding, and observation sheets. Results showed significant improvement across all teacher competency aspects: understanding of learning obstacles concepts increased by 48.7%, ability to identify LO by 52.3%, understanding of the DDR cycle by 55.1%, ability to design ADP by 61.4%, and ability to design didactical situations by 58.9%. Teachers successfully mapped epistemological, psychological, and didactical learning obstacles on fraction concepts and designed hypothetical didactical designs more responsive to students' difficulties. The Research Clinic DDR proved effective as a mentoring model that positions teachers as researcher-practitioners.
