Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between affective mathematical disposition (MD) and numeracy among pre-service mathematics teachers in Indonesia. The research examines explicitly how different dimensions of MD influence students' numeracy skills. A total of 237 participants took part in a semester-long numeracy enrichment program, followed by a numeracy assessment and an MD questionnaire based on Beyers' seven affective dimensions. Using multiple linear regression analysis, the findings indicate that MD significantly affects numeracy (p = 0.018), with an adjusted R-squared value of 0.571, indicating that 57.1% of the variance in numeracy scores can be explained by MD. Notably, the dimensions "Nature in Mathematics" (β = 0.584, p = 0.033) and "Mathematics Self-Concept" (β = 0.612, p = 0.016) exhibit significant positive influences on numeracy. Highlighting the role of conceptual understanding and self-perception in mathematical learning. These results align with the program’s design, which emphasized conceptual understanding and reflective self-assessment elements directly tied to both dimensions. However, other dimensions, including "Usefulness," "Worthwhileness," "Sensibleness," "Attitude," and "Math Anxiety," did not show significant effects. This may be due to participants' shared perceptions as mathematics teacher candidates, resulting in low variability on those dimensions, or due to possible mediation effects (e.g., motivation) that were not examined in this study. The findings suggest that interventions aiming to strengthen numeracy should focus on enhancing students’ understanding of mathematical structures and fostering a strong self-concept as mathematics learners. This study contributes to mathematics education by highlighting the specific affective dimensions that most directly relate to numeracy, providing a nuanced perspective for teacher educators seeking to balance cognitive and affective development in their curriculum.   Keywords: mathematical disposition, affective domain, numeracy, pre-service mathematics teachers, mathematics education.

Abstract

Prospective teachers must be equipped with creative thinking skills to be able to design innovative mathematics learning media. However, studies on the creativity of prospective teachers are often not comprehensive and tend to focus on only one dimension of creativity. Although the 4P creativity model (Person, Process, Press, Product) provides a comprehensive analytical lens, research that integrates all four dimensions simultaneously in the context of mathematics teacher education is still rare. This study is a qualitative descriptive study that aims to describe and analyze the creativity of prospective mathematics teacher students in developing mathematics learning media. The subjects were eight students of the Mathematics Education study program who were taking the Mathematics Learning Media course and had completed a mathematics learning media development project. Data sources came from students' reflective journals when creating learning media, interview transcripts, and the learning media products that had been created. The collected data were analyzed based on Rhodes' 4P creativity framework: Person, Process, Press, and Product. The product dimension was analyzed descriptively and quantitatively using the Torrance rubric, consisting of four creativity indicators: fluency, flexibility, originality, and development. The Process dimension was analyzed based on Wallas' creative thinking framework: Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, and Verification. The person and press dimensions were then analyzed qualitatively using a thematic analysis approach. The results showed that students with high intrinsic motivation, active involvement in exploring ideas, and the ability to manage technical and time constraints tended to produce more creative and meaningful learning media. The key findings of this study significantly expand and challenge the traditional understanding of the Press dimension. The use of technology, particularly generative AI such as ChatGPT, serves not only as an external tool but also as a digital cognitive environment. AI acts as an interactive, dialogical partner, assisting in brainstorming, developing flowcharts, and solving technical problems, thereby blurring the boundaries between environmental factors (Press) and students' internal thinking processes (Process). This deep integration demonstrates that AI has become an integral part of students' cognitive workflows, implying that the 4P framework in the digital era needs to be viewed as an interconnected and flexible system, rather than as four rigidly separate pillars.    Keywords: creativity, mathematics learning media, creative thinking process, case study, pre-service teachers, artificial intelligence.
