Abstract

This study aims to reveal the counting patterns performed by Indramayu Traditional Market Traders in buying and selling activities. This research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling by collecting data using snowball sampling. The participants involved in this study were three traders. Data analysis in this study used qualitative analysis from Milles & Huberman, which consisted of 4 stages: data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of this study indicate that Indramayu traditional market traders have used mathematical concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations in buying and selling activities. Besides that, this study also found that traditional traders use backward calculations (from front to back) in buying and selling their wares. The calculation method traditional trader’s use differs from that usually taught in schools. This method has become a standard pattern to make it easier for them to count. Based on these findings it implies that there are other ways of operating information activities that can be used by schools formally. In addition, teachers must be able to provide the context in everyday life, especially in buying and selling activities in traditional markets, to students so that students get a broader understanding of solving problems in arithmetic material.

Abstract

This study was aim at analyzing the notion of quality teaching expected of teachers as reflective practitioners, which are continuously articulated during workshops, conferences, however, its practicality seems vaguely defined and at times, reflection seems to lose its purpose and value. The study engaged a descriptive survey which used stratified sampling technique which understudies 363 Primary School Teachers in Fiji from the four major Education Divisions, in which each stratum was selected. A ‘Test on Knowledge of Reflective Teaching,’ and a ‘Rating Scale on Practice of Reflective Teaching’ were conducted and analysed to compare the components of Knowledge and Practice of Reflective Teaching, with respect to teaching experience, and the data was analysed quantitatively using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Fndings from the study amongst others is that there is a significant difference in knowledge which focus on practical aspects’ component of knowledge of reflective teaching for primary mathematics teachers in Fiji.
