Abstract

Mathematical habits of mind and critical thinking skills are essential in mathematics learning; however, they often differ between male and female students. This study aims to describe students’ mathematical habits of mind and critical thinking skills based on gender, as well as to analyze the influence of mathematical habits of mind on critical thinking skills. This research employed an ex post facto design with a quantitative approach, conducted at SMP Negeri 2 Pattallassang with a population of 207 eighth-grade students. A total of 136 students were selected as the sample using a simple random sampling technique. The instruments used were a questionnaire to measure mathematical habits of mind and a test to assess critical thinking skills, while data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression. The results showed that female students demonstrated better mathematical habits of mind and critical thinking skills compared to male students. Furthermore, mathematical habits of mind significantly influenced critical thinking skills with a determination coefficient (R Square) of 0,595, indicating that 59,5% of critical thinking skills were effected by mathematical habits of mind, while the remaining 40,5% were influenced by other factors. This study concludes that developing mathematical habits of mind is crucial for improving students’ critical thinking skills. The implication is that teachers can integrate mathematical habits of mind as a key focus in mathematics learning strategies to optimize students’ critical thinking.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the classification of students’ Keirsey personality types and analyze ninth-grade students’ mathematical conceptual understanding at MTsN Gowa based on those personality types. This research was conducted because conceptual understanding is a crucial component in learning mathematics; however, many students still struggle to comprehend mathematical concepts even after receiving instruction. Additionally, previous studies have primarily focused on learning models, materials, or cognitive factors and have not explored the role of psychological characteristics such as Keirsey personality types. Therefore, this research addresses this gap by examining whether students’ conceptual understanding is influenced by their personality tendencies. This study employed a quantitative descriptive method with saturated sampling involving all 74 ninth-grade students. The instruments used were the Keirsey personality questionnaire, a mathematical conceptual understanding test, and documentation. The findings show that the personality classification consists of 19 Guardian, 20 Artisan, 13 Rational, and 22 Idealist students. The level of mathematical conceptual understanding is categorized as moderate with an average score of 67.78, which remains below the minimum mastery criteria. Based on personality types, students with the Rational personality type achieved the highest scores due to their analytical and logical thinking tendencies, which support conceptual reasoning. Meanwhile, Guardian personality type students obtained the lowest scores, which may be due to their preference for structured and procedural learning, making abstract conceptual reasoning more challenging. The contribution of this study lies in offering a new perspective in mathematics education by integrating personality-based differentiation. These findings may serve as a reference for developing adaptive and personalized learning strategies that align with students’ psychological characteristics, potentially improving the effectiveness of mathematics instruction.
