Inductive reasoning has an important role in mathematics learning. It includes making generalizations and analogical reasoning. While a generalization explains the relationship between several concepts applied in more general situations, analogical reasoning compares two things. This research is qualitative and descriptive. It reviews and describes the mathematical reasoning abilities of junior high school students based on Bruner's learning theory. It was conducted at one of the junior high schools in Pekanbaru in the eighth grade in the 2022/2023 academic year, involving 70 students. The students were divided into three categories of prior mathematical knowledge: low, medium, and high. The instruments used to obtain data on how mathematical reasoning abilities relate to Bruner's learning theory in this study were (1) a test of mathematical reasoning abilities and 2) an interview guide. The results show that the average mathematical reasoning abilities of the eighth graders in this study were very high for the material on arithmetic sequences and series and low for the material on geometric sequences and series. However, the eight grade students' average generalizing and analogical reasoning abilities were quite good for both materials.

Students who study at home certainly affect their self-concept. Their study found that knowledge of distance learning affects the perceived usefulness of this process. This study described self-concept has an influence on learning achievement in mathematics. The type of research used in this study was descriptive quantitative research to determine the relationship between students’ self-concept and learning achievement in mathematics. This research was conducted in class 8 of State Junior High School (SMPN) 1 Palasah, Indonesia with 151 students as respondents. The self-concept data was obtained from a study questionnaire that had previously estimated its validity and reliability. This analysis is used to explain the data in the form of standard deviation, average, and low score. Self-concept is categorized into three categories (high, medium, and low). Self-concept is categorized into two kinds, namely positive self-concept, and negative self-concept. Categorization of self-concept can also be divided into three kinds. A high self-concept is also called a more positive self-concept, a moderate self-concept is also called a positive self-concept, and a low self-concept is also called a negative self-concept. Therefore, when students have a positive self-concept, it affects learning achievement positively as students needhaveaves to have a self-concept in learning mathematics.

The development of critical thinking skills has emerged as a global concern in a variety of fields, including education. The purpose of this research is to shed light on the connection that exists between one's prior knowledge and the mathematical critical thinking skills that are acquired through the use of quantitative methods. Collecting data through the use of mathematical instruments, mathematical critical thinking tests, and daily test data for the prerequisite material based on the average student's performance. High school students in the eleventh grade made up the study's sample population. The findings of the research indicate that there is a positive connection between mathematical background knowledge and critical thinking abilities in that subject area. It is possible to draw the conclusion that the material that serves as initial knowledge and is therefore a prerequisite needs to be studied extensively in order to have broad insight that contributes to the success of learning the subsequent material. In spite of this, the researchers discovered that the number of students who fell into the high and medium categories of critical thinking skills was lower when compared to the number of students who fell into the second category when it came to their initial mathematical abilities. In other words, there has been a rise in the proportion of students who score poorly on tests of their ability to engage in critical thinking. These additional aspects should be sought out and incorporated as research fodder in subsequent studies.

Pada hakikatnya masalah merupakan kesenjangan antara harapan dan kenyataan. Dalam pembelajaran matematika masalah bukan hanya dalam bentuk proses evaluasi saja misalnya dalam pengerjaan soal matematika, namun dilihat juga dalam proses pembelajarannya. Metode yang digunakan studi literatur atau tinjauan pustaka. Sumber kajian adalah berupa buku referensi, jurnal ilmiah yang dipublikasikan, dan referensi pada website yang diakses melalui internet. Referensi teori yang diperoleh dengan jalan penelitian studi literatur akandijadikan sebagai fondasi dasar dan alat utama bagi praktek selanjutnya yang ditindaklanjuti dengan sebuah penelitian lapangan. Dalam proses pembelajaran matematika, pemahaman konsep merupakan bagian yang sangat penting. Pemahaman konsep matematik merupakan landasan penting untuk berpikir dalam mencerna setiap pembelajaran yang diberikan dan mampu mengimplenetasikannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Dalam ikhtiar untuk meningkatan kemampuan pemahaman konsep berfikir ini dapat dilakukan dengan melatih pola pikir kritis yang dapat dibangun melalui implementasi teori pemecahan masalah, salah satunya teori pemecahan masalah Polya.

Breast cancer ranks first in contributes to cancer deaths in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between menarche age, level of knowledge, and history of the use of control birth pills and the incidence of breast cancer. This study employed a case-control design. Inclusion criteria for the case group were women, 20–50 years, breast cancer patients, junior high education level, and married. The subjects excluded respondents who used contraception. The data comes from questioner and medical record. There were 27 respondents each for the case and control group. The result showed a major age range of 31–40 years (63.0%). The education level was dominated by junior high school (40.7%). The chi-square test showed a correlation between the age of menarche (p = 0.01) OR 5.50 (95% CI: 1.604 -18.864), and knowledge (p = 0.00) OR value of 8.31 (95% CI: 2.437-28.354) with breast cancer, but no correlation between history of use of pills contraception with breast cancer (p = 0.74). The dominant risk factor for breast cancer in patients at Dr. Doris Sylvanus Hospital was the level of knowledge. Increasing knowledge about cancer is important in preventing breast cancer in women, especially in Palangkaraya.

The study identified research trends in higher-order thinking skills in Mathematics Education in Indonesia, from Design to Data Analysis. The data came from content analysis of math education articles. As of April 2022, mathematics education articles in the Science and Technology Index (SINTA) are used solely. The Indonesian Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education founded SINTA (http://sinta2.ristekdikti.go.id) to evaluate science and technology. This research shows that qualitative methods, such as theme analysis or grounded theory, can provide insight into student learning, while quantitative methods, such as regression or multivariate analysis, provide statistical analysis of HOTS factors. Recommendations include improving teaching, research, and policymaking on choosing the correct analysis method and institutional support. Diversification and data analysis are essential to improve HOTS research and support Indonesian education development.
