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.

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 functionÂ
