Abstract

This study aims to analyze the profile of basic mathematical skills and misconceptions of prospective elementary school teachers (PGSD students) and to describe the relationship between these two constructs. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected from 282 PGSD students from five state universities through a basic mathematics ability test, an error analysis sheet, and a misconception classification rubric that had been validated by experts and tested for reliability. Descriptive statistics were applied to map students’ abilities across five domains (numbers and operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis/probability), while qualitative error analysis was employed to identify conceptual, procedural, misinterpretation, and careless errors as indicators of misconceptions. The findings show that students’ basic mathematical skills are generally in the moderate category, with the highest mean score in geometry and the lowest in algebra, and that conceptual errors (44.1%) are the most dominant, especially in numbers and operations and algebra. The analysis further reveals a clear pattern that lower levels of basic mathematical skills are associated with higher levels of misconception, indicating that misconceptions are rooted in weak conceptual understanding rather than mere carelessness. This study contributes to the field of education by offering an integrated empirical profile of basic skills and misconceptions among prospective elementary school teachers as a basis for developing diagnostic assessments and strengthening PGSD curricula that emphasize conceptual understanding in basic mathematics learning.

Abstract

While teacher competence is widely acknowledged as crucial for student success, the relative importance of its specific dimensions—pedagogical versus professional competence—remains less clear, particularly in specific local contexts of primary mathematics education. This correlational study investigated the distinct impacts of these two competencies on the mathematics achievement of 45 sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 7 Buntok, Indonesia. Data were collected through a validated teacher competency questionnaire (completed by 3 class teachers) and a curriculum-based mathematics test. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that both competencies significantly predicted student achievement, jointly explaining 54.1% of the variance in scores. Notably, pedagogical competence (β = 0.59, p = 0.001) emerged as a stronger unique predictor than professional competence (β = 0.38, p = 0.010). These findings underscore that while deep content knowledge is necessary, the ability to design, deliver, and manage effective instruction is paramount for enhancing student learning outcomes. The study provides empirical evidence for prioritizing pedagogical skill development in teacher training and professional development programs to improve primary mathematics education.
