Abstract

Culture has an important role in facilitating students' mathematical creative thinking skills. The use of cultural context in mathematics learning helps students to understand mathematical concepts in a more relevant and real way. The results of the initial study conducted by the researcher indicated that there are still many students whose mathematical creative thinking skills are still low and teachers still have difficulties in developing appropriate assessments to measure creative thinking skills. This study aims to develop assessment instruments using the Jambi cultural context in measuring the mathematical creative thinking skills of junior high school students that are of high quality (valid, practical, and effective). This development research uses the Plomp development model. The development stages include the initial investigation stage, the development and prototyping stage and the assessment stage. The research subjects were 29 students of class IX.A and mathematics teachers. The results of the study were the quality of the product assessment was valid 3.6 with ‘very valid’ criteria, practical with an average teacher response questionnaire score of 3.25 and an average student response questionnaire score of 2.80 and effective with good differentiating power. The assessment developed is of high quality, namely valid, practical and effective. Thus, this assessment can be used by teachers directly or modified as needed to measure students' creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy is essential for students to solve interrelated problems across various subjects. However, students' numeracy literacy skills remain low, necessitating innovative learning resources. This research focuses on designing an Adaptive Digital Book (ADB) that is claimed to be valid, practical, and effective in improving students' numeracy literacy. This study adopted a design research approach in the context of development studies, which included two main phases: the preliminary phase and the formative evaluation phase, which included self-evaluation, expert evaluation, and iterative evaluation (one-to-one, small group, and field test). Quantitative and qualitative data were gathered through assessment of numeracy literacy, interviews, and distributing questionnaires. Results showed that ADB is practical and effective in its validity as well as in meeting the requirements of students with different learning needs. The combination of multimedia elements like videos caters to visual and auditory learners, which helps improve their numeracy literacy skills.

Abstract

This case study aims to explore how male and female Indonesian mathematics teachers enact decision-making processes in teaching High-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Non-random purposive sampling technique was used to select the participants. The participants involved in this study were two Indonesian mathematics teachers who teach HOTS in their classrooms. The participants were chosen from 87 Indonesian mathematics teachers in 23 secondary schools in East Java, Indonesia, who were invited to our survey and confirmed that they taught HOTS and underwent classroom observation. Data were collected from classroom teaching and interview sessions. The data of classroom teaching consisted of a video-audio recording of two meetings and field notes of observation. In the interview session, we recorded the teachers’ responses during semi-structured interviews. We coded and explained our interpretation for each code. We also conducted investigator triangulation by comparing coding and interpretation made by two researchers and discussing them to find the best representation of the meaning of the data. Our findings indicate that both male and female teachers performed four steps of decision making, consisting of giving problems, asking students to solve, checking, and obtaining new ideas. The difference of male and female teachers’ decision-making process is observed in the process of giving problem (non-contextual vs contextual), how they ask students to solve and check the solution (individual vs group), and the criteria of the new idea of problem-solving (correct vs the best solution). The study findings can be a catalyst for enacting decision-making steps in teaching HOTS. Also, these can be a reflective practice for mathematics teachers to improve their teaching quality.

Abstract

In education, creativity is viewed as a fundamental behaviour especially when it comes to mathematics where students are motivated to tackle problems in unique ways. The present study sought to design, construct and validate an instrument that would assess creativity in geometry by employing three aspects of creativity as proposed by the aforementioned model- fluency, flexibility and originality. The instrument was administered to 30 junior high school students in Malang Indonesian. In this study, the assessment of internal and external consistent validity and dimensional structure of the instrument using a combination of Cronbach’s Alpha, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and inter-rater reliability was done. The reliability estimates showed that across the 7-item test, a validation score of Cronbach’s Alpha at 0.857 was achieved. Item-Total Statistics indicated that most items possessed high item-total correlations except item Q3 which possessed low item-total corrected correlation. EFA resulted in the segregation of 2 components which accounted for 81.280% of the variance of the construct and were labeled as fluency/flexibility and originality. This finding is consistent with already existing theories in creativity areas which argue that creative thinking is a multi-faceted phenomenon. This needs elucidation in order to improve the validity of the affected test items especially those aimed at measuring the different dimensions of creativity. The research enriches the existing literature based on creativity in mathematics education considering the primary aim to develop a sound and valid tool for assessing students' creative problem solving abilities in geometry.

Abstract

Students often encounter errors in calculating multiplication, especially those who lack a grasp of the basic concepts of multiplication. This is compounded by the independent curriculum, which forces students to become accustomed to learning mathematics while developing literacy, commonly referred to as numeracy literacy. Many factors contribute to students' difficulties in solving math story problems in multiplication, including a lack of comprehension due to inattention in reading the problem, a lack of understanding of the concept of multiplication, and a lack of fluency in reading. Furthermore, there is limited variety in learning activities and media. These difficulties can be overcome if teachers actively provide more multiplication problems in the form of numeracy literacy story problems and provide engaging learning experiences for students through innovative, appropriate and concrete learning media. Students must also be enthusiastic about continuing to learn and actively participate in learning. Therefore, learning mathematics in the form of story problems requires a holistic approach that considers literacy skills, conceptual understanding, and the need for varied learning to support the implementation of numeracy literacy in the Independent Curriculum.

Abstract

Translation is considered as a step in transforming the information contained from the source representation to the destination representation. In the process of students doing mathematical translation there are four stages of activity, Unpacking the Source, Preliminary Coordination, Constructing the Target, and Determining Equivalence. This study aims to analyze the activities carried out by students in translating representations from graphic to symbolic, table to symbolic, and verbal to symbolic based on HOTS. This research was conducted at SMA Lamongan Regency with three research students in class XI who had learned about the concept of quadratic functions. The instruments used were translation questions and interview guidelines. The applied data analysis focused on four stages of translation activity which were then grouped according to (high, medium, and low categories). The results showed that the translation of verbal representations into symbolic ones was the most difficult for students to complete.Keywords: mathematical translation, representation, HOTS.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.23960/jpmipa/v23i4.pp1887-1899

Abstract

One of the subjects that can measure students' problem solving abilities is geometry because geometry discusses objects, definitions, symbols and images that can be used as ideas or ideas by students. This research is a descriptive qualitative study which aims to describe and analyze students' ability to solve problems based on Polya's steps in terms of self-regulated learning (SRL). The subject of this research is one student in each SRL (high, medium, low). Data collection methods are questionnaires, tests and interviews. The results showed that 12.5% of students had high SRL levels, 70.83% had medium SRL level students and 16.67% had low SRL level students. Students with high SRL can complete problem solving according to Polya's steps. Students with moderate SRL can apply the steps of understanding the problem (writing the information available and what is being asked) and the planning steps. Meanwhile, students with low SRL can understand the problems in the questions. Based on interviews students can only provide information from what is contained in the questions but do not have ideas to solve them. Students with low SRL are only able to do the first of the four stages of problem solving. So, it can be concluded that the higher the SRL or the level of one's learning independence, the higher the ability to solve problems.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan siswa dalam literasi matematika dengan cara meninjau dari gaya kognitif. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian dengan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Subjek penelitian diambil dari 27 siswa SMK kelas XI TKJ di salah satu sekolah yang terletak di Kecamatan Bagor, Kabupaten Nganjuk. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah GEFT (Group Embedded Figure Test) untuk mengetahui kemampuan gaya kognitif siswa yang nantinya dibagi menjadi kelompok bergaya kognitif field dependent dan field independent, tes literasi matematis, dan wawancara. Soal tes literasi matematis disusun dan disesuaikan dengan permasalahan kehidupan sehari-hari yang sepenuhnya didasarkan pada indikator-indikator kemampuan literasi matematis yang diadaptasi dan diselaraskan dengan tahapan pemecahan masalah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa subjek field dependent cenderung merumuskan masalah masih dengan menggunakan kalimat naratif, subjek juga kurang mampu dalam menentukan penyelesaian masalah sendiri karena masih bergantung pada prosedur yang pernah diberikan, dan hanya mampu memberikan intepretasi singkat terkait hasil akhir penyelesaian. Sedangkan subjek field independent mampu merumuskan masalah dengan cara menggunakan pemodelan, subjek juga mampu menentukan dan menuliskan penyelesaian masalah sendiri secara terorganisir, dan mampu menunjukkan koreksi terhadap hasil akhir dari penyelesian masalah.

Abstract

Creativity in mathematics is essential for developing students’ problem-solving skills and innovation, yet in Indonesia, students’ creative thinking remains low, as shown by PISA and TIMSS results, indicating a significant gap between expectations and current practices in mathematics learning. To address this issue, this study aimed to analyze the creative thinking characteristics of Grade IX students when solving culturally integrated mathematical problems, while also considering differences among student specialization groups: Mathematics, Science (IPA), and Social Studies (IPS). The research employed a qualitative case study design involving 30 students from a junior high school in Malang City during the 2024/2025 academic year. Based on a creative thinking test, 15 students (6 mathematics, 5 science, and 4 social studies specialization) were selected for in-depth interviews. Data were analyzed through several stages: preparation, coding, categorization, presentation of findings, interpretation, and validation. The findings revealed distinct creative thinking characteristics across the three groups. Mathematics specialization students demonstrated strong fluency through generating many ideas, filtering logical ideas, and responding quickly; flexibility through diverse approaches and adaptability; and originality through expressing unique and innovative solutions. Science specialization students showed similar traits in fluency and flexibility, with originality evident in their ability to create and articulate unique ideas. Social studies specialization students demonstrated fluency and flexibility but lacked originality characteristics. These results highlight variations in creative thinking profiles among different specialization groups and emphasize the importance of targeted instructional strategies to foster creativity in mathematics education.
