Abstract

This research initiated by some research result regarding the lower Reasoning and Mathematics Representation of student on the math learning. In order to upgrade the abilities is passing through the guided inquiry learning. The aim of the reasearch  is to analyze comprehensively on accomplishment reasoning and math representation of student who gain the guided inquiry learning and conventional learning. The research is applying experiment method by design of one group pretest-posttest. The result of research indicates the guided inquiry learning is more effective in accomplishment and improvement of student representation capabilities and student comprehend compared with the conventional learning. Reasoning and Mathematics Representation of group student or guided inquiry learning is higher from the group student of conventional learning. The improvement of Mathematics Reasoning of Group Student of guided inquiry learning values 0.33 on the medium category, while the improvement of Mathematics Representation of group student of conventional learning values 0.19 on the low category. The amount of improvement on Mathematics Representation of group student of the guided inquiry learning is 0.41 on the medium category, and the improvement on Mathematics Representation of group student of conventional learning is 0.26 is on the low category.

Abstract

This research was conducted due to the importance value of mathematics for early childhood and the fact some researches showed the early childhood education (ECE) teachers' low level of basic mathematical knowledge, especially the one related to childhood developmental stages. The participants of this research were 35 ECE teachers from one of the cities in West Java province with teaching experience approximately ten years. In this research, 30 minutes was given to the participants to solve 20 questions, which tested teachers' knowledge related to verbal counting sequence, counting, the ordinal number of words, addition/subtraction, divisions of sets, written number symbols, and words. Besides, the interview was conducted to get more in-depth information from the participants. The quantitative descriptive analysis was used to identify the frequency, percentage, mean value, and standard deviation. The result of the research showed that ECE teachers had limited knowledge of children's mathematical development. It was revealed by the result of the mean value of the teachers’ responses, which were only 33% correct answers and 16% no idea answers. This result can become input for the stakeholders to hold a professional development program which aims to increase the quality of ECE teachers related to mathematical development activity.
