Abstract

This qualitative study aims to describe the conceptual understanding of prospective mathematics teachers at STKIP PGRI Lumajang by determining examples and non-examples of functions. This research was conducted by giving tests and interviews with 12 subjects. Data were analyzed using Miles & Huberman model.  This study showed that the subjects investigated whether paired to determine a given statement is a function or not. Subjects focus on specific expressions, e.g., or others that they have previously recognized as a function. However, some subjects used the vertical line test to determine a given graph represents a function or not, although they were unable to explain why the vertical line test was the appropriate method. Their understanding is limited to procedural knowledge such as mental representations and incomplete concept images, then failing to be comprehensively linked to the definition of the concept of function

Abstract

In the 21st century, advances in science and technology require students to adapt. Classroom dynamics are still often dominated by passive learning methods, such as lectures, which result in a lack of student participation. PISA evaluation shows the low problems-solving abilities of Indonesian students. Therefore, the STEM approach emerged as a solution with a focus on essential 21st century skills, such as collaborative problem solving. The aim of the research is to investigate and analyze the collaborative problem solving process of junior high school students in solving STEM problems. The research method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. The research population included all students of SMP PGRI 13 Surabaya. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Research instruments include questionnaires, observation sheets, and structured interviews. The research results show that collaborative learning in STEM context problem solving can help students develop problem solving skills. Students demonstrate good collaborative skills and their response to this learning is very positive. Evaluation of student learning outcomes also shows an increase, indicating the success of STEM-based learning methods in increasing student motivation. This research contributes to the understanding of the importance of learning approaches that integrate STEM with collaborative problem solving.

Abstract

Proportional reasoning has been greatly influencing the development of students’ mathematical abilities. Along with the area conservation ability, it helps elementary students comprehend area measurement. This exploratory study aimed to produce qualitative-descriptive data on elementary students’ proportional reasoning in solving the conservation of plane figures. The study used guided-unguided area conservation problems using a proportional reasoning level as the analysis framework. Data were collected from 4 primary school students in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, who were in fifth-grade class. The students' strategies used were identified to analyze the students' proportional reasoning in solving area conservation. Results show that the level of proportional reasoning varies from zero to two. Regarding the students' proportional reasoning levels, most of the students' strategies use visual clues and cute paste strategies. Only one student can reach the level of quantitative reasoning by using a formula to compare both area measurements. Interestingly, the problem of the conservation of plane figures failed to reveal students' formal proportional reasoning due to their insufficient knowledge of fractions, division, multiplication, and decimals. Some implications regarding students' proportional reasoning and interventions in the area conservation problem are discussed.

Abstract

Nutrition facts are the details on food packaging that describe its nutritional value, including serving size, calories, macronutrients like carbohydrates, protein, and fat, and micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals. These facts have mathematical concepts that can be utilized as a context for prospective teachers to create mathematical problems. By leveraging this real-world data, educators can contribute to multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), by promoting nutritional awareness, and SDG 4 (Quality Education) by enhancing student engagement and understanding through relatable examples. This study examines the profile of mathematical tasks created by prospective mathematics teachers using nutrition facts as a context that meets numeracy task criteria. Data were collected from 62 mathematical tasks created by 31 prospective teachers attending a realistic mathematics education course on numeracy based on a problem-posing task at a public university in Surabaya, Indonesia. The posed tasks were categorized into solvable or unsolvable tasks and the domains of the level of context use and the level of cognitive processes. Results revealed that the level of context use in the posed tasks varied from zero to second order. Surprisingly, most of the tasks were in the first-order level context. Most posed tasks reached the application level, with only a few identified as reasoning tasks. Interestingly, some tasks coded as second-order context were classified as reasoning tasks. The study provides implications for designing numeracy tasks using nutrition facts and interventions in teacher education related to numeracy task design.

Abstract

Background: The development of critical thinking skills in prospective mathematics teachers is essential for their future effectiveness in the classroom. Understanding how these individuals process and resolve problems that contain contradictory information provides insight into their critical thinking abilities. Previous research has highlighted the significant role of prior knowledge in problem-solving and critical thinking.Aim: This study aims to explore the critical thinking processes of prospective mathematics teachers when faced with problems that contain contradictory information. Specifically, it seeks to determine the influence of prior knowledge on their ability to navigate and resolve these complex problems.Methods:  The study employed a sequential explanatory design. Initially, quantitative data from prerequisite skill and critical thinking tests (specifically, problems with contradictory information) were collected from 68 participants. Simple regression analysis informed the selection of six participants (two each with high, medium, and low prerequisite abilities) for the subsequent qualitative phase. In-depth interviews and problem-solving tasks were conducted, prompting participants to articulate their thought processes. Data analysis focuses on identifying patterns and themes in their use of prior knowledge and critical thinking strategies.Results: The findings reveal that prior knowledge plays a pivotal role in how prospective mathematics teachers approach and resolve problems with contradictory information. Those with a strong foundation in mathematical concepts and problem-solving strategies are better equipped to identify inconsistencies and develop logical solutions. Conversely, participants with limited prior knowledge struggle to reconcile conflicting information and often resort to less effective problem-solving methods.Conclusion: This study underscores the importance of prior knowledge in the development of critical thinking skills among prospective mathematics teachers. Educator preparation programs should emphasize the cultivation of a robust knowledge base and provide opportunities for students to engage in complex problem-solving tasks. By doing so, future teachers will be better prepared to navigate the challenges of the classroom and foster critical thinking in their own students.
