Abstract

This study examines the influence of mathematical disposition on students’ mathematical communication when solving contextual Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)-based problems. Employing a quantitative ex-post facto design, data were collected from 101 eighth-grade students using a mathematical disposition questionnaire and a mathematical communication test that consisted of contextual HOTS tasks. The results indicate that while many students showed a positive mathematical disposition, their communication performance varied across problem-solving demands. Regression analysis revealed that mathematical disposition contributed to students’ communication, particularly at the analytical level, but its impact diminished as task complexity increased. Overall, disposition played only a modest role in predicting students’ communication in HOTS contexts. The findings suggest that although mathematical disposition enhances students’ willingness to engage with challenging tasks, effective communication at higher cognitive levels also requires stronger conceptual understanding and strategic problem-solving experience. This study highlights the need for instructional approaches that integrate affective and cognitive supports to strengthen students’ mathematical communication in complex, open-ended problem settings.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is crucial to understand phenomena and good decision-making in real life. This study aims to describe aspects of Islamic nuanced mathematical literacy in prospective teachers, which were viewed from the four personalities of Keirsey. This qualitative descriptive research used a questionnaire of MTBI personality types and a mathematical literacy test with Islamic nuances. The subjects are students in the 7th semester of the mathematics education program at an Islamic university in Kediri City, East Java, Indonesia. The findings showed that rational and idealist subjects could fulfill the "formulating" indicator, but not the guardian and artisan subjects. They were not able to translate problems into mathematical form. The indicators of "employing" and "interpreting" show that subjects with rational personality types can determine better strategies than artisan, guardian, and idealist personality types. That is, it is necessary to integrate the interconnections between the mathematics learning programs related to Islamic elements. A more in-depth portrait of mathematical literacy is needed in different situations from prospective mathematics teachers at Islamic universities.
