Abstract

Gestures was an important in mathematics teaching and learning because it can increase student’s cognitive load. however, many teachers pay little attention to gestures in carrying out learning in class. This study aims to describe and compare the gesture of primary school teacher in mathematics teaching and learning. Qualitative of case study used in this study. Two teachers in “Islam Athirah” of elementary schools consist of one senior teacher and one prospective teacher as research subjects. Data was collected through audiovisual material and interview. The teachers were observed and recorded when performing mathematics teaching and learning. Interview were conducted with ten selected students to find out feedback from learning activity. The finding showed that pointing gesture was frequently used in mathematics teaching and learning. Furthermore, senior teacher better in performing gesture than pre-service teacher. Senior teacher has an excellence in pointing and writing gesture, while pre-service teacher has an excellence in performing representing gesture.

Abstract

Algebraic reasoning plays a role in mathematical thinking. Understanding factor affective of algebraic reasoning is essential for improving mathematics education. This study aims to examine the effect of learning interest and social skills on students' algebraic reasoning. We conducted a quantitative study using a correlational design, employing questionnaires and a test as data collection methods. We selected 202 students from the Islamic state of junior high school in Mataram as a research sample using a simple random technique. The study used an algebraic reasoning test, a learning interest questionnaire, and a social skills questionnaire as research instruments. The data was analyzed using descriptive data and inferential analysis. Descriptive data consist of categorical descriptive and statistical descriptive. Inferential analysis used a multiple regression including prerequisite tests (normality, linearity, multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity) and hypothetical tests using t-test for partial and F-test for simultaneous. The result showed that learning interest has no effect on students algebraic reasoning (t-test =0,055, sig. = 0,957 > 0,05). Meanwhile, the social skills have an effect on students algebraic reasoning (t-test =2,943, sig. = 0,004 < 0,05). In addition, learning interest and social skill simultaneously have an effect on algebraic reasoning (F-test = 4,345, sig. = 0,014 < 0,05). The result also confirmed that learning interest and social skills have a 4,2% of contribution to increasing students algebraic reasoning. To improve the students learning interest and social skill, teacher should be encouraged in designing interactive learning and collaborative learning approaches, such as group discussions, peer tutoring, and cooperative problem-solving.
