Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of Virtual Algebra Tiles (VAT) on the performance of 41 Year 8 students in solving algebraic equations. The VAT used in this research is accessible and free through a website called Didax. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from Class 8X (21 students) and Class 8Y (20 students) through convenient sampling in a public secondary school. The Didax VAT was used as an intervention tool to aid students in solving algebraic equations. Quantitative data, in the form of pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire, was administered to the students and analysed to determine the statistical significance of the findings. Qualitative data were used in focus group interviews to explore students’ perceptions of Didax VAT further. The conclusions of this study indicated that the result of the paired sample t-test was not significant, the intervention had a small positive effect on student learning. The qualitative data revealed most students positively perceived using Didax VAT in their learning.

Abstract

This descriptive quantitative study explored secondary school students’ reasons for receiving or not receiving private mathematics tutoring. It also explored the prevalent teaching methods private mathematics tutors use. A questionnaire was adapted to collect data from 1,309 Year 7 to Year 12 students (ages 11 to 17 years) in three countries: Brunei, Indonesia, and Iraq. The results highlight that students may receive private mathematics tutoring to pass national examinations and improve examination scores. Teachers also adapt to teaching approaches that enable students to achieve these teaching and learning goals. This study provides an initial understanding of the common reasons and teaching methods used in private mathetics tutoring across different contexts that prioritise high-stakes examination culture. The results provide implications for how private mathematics tutoring can be used to support effective teaching and learning compared to the high-stakes reasons it seems it promotes. The results also accentuate the need for families and other stakeholders to reconsider private mathematics tutoring as an opportunity to remediate the challenges students encounter in their normal classroom instruction to improve student learning.

Abstract

The ability to think creatively is not only an individual's ability to analyze based on existing information but also collectively be able to produce new and determine alternatives with various ideas. It needs to be developed among pre-service teachers so they can use it to design their lessons. This study aims to analyze the creativity of pre-service mathematics teachers in designing and developing innovative learning media for teaching fractions. The research used a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and was conducted in class with 42 students. The data was collected from their product of learning media and filling questionnaires through Google Classroom. From the result, we can conclude that the development of student's creative thinking abilities through the creation of innovative learning media is involved in the modification of the creative model, where they make the product more attractive and practical through content and how to present the media.

Abstract

Creative thinking can be influenced by students' learning styles, such as Field Independent (FI) and Field Dependent (FD) learning styles. This research aims to describe the creative thinking process of Field Independent learning style students in solving problems with higher-order thinking skills based on the Wallas stages. This qualitative study began by determining student’s learning styles using the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) and then selecting three students with Field Independent (FI) learning styles. In this study, subjects with Field Dependent learning styles were excluded due to insufficient data collection. Data was collected using written tests and interviews and analyzed based on Wallas’s theory’s stages: preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. Triangulation was used to validate the findings. The results show that students with Field Independent (FI) learning styles exhibit complete characteristics of creative thinking, including fluency, flexibility, and innovation, at every stage. This indicates their capability to think creatively in solving higher-order thinking problems.

Abstract

Ethnomathematics research has developed globally, with significant contributions from various countries, especially from Indonesia. Indonesia has diversity and cultural richness that offers opportunities to strengthen its education system, especially in improving mathematical literacy by connecting learning materials with daily activities and cultural norms owned by students. This article presents a systematic literature review on ethnomathematics research in Indonesia. Ethnomathematics is the study of mathematical practices that grow and develop in the cultural context of local communities. This study aims to provide a clear picture of the development of ethnomathematics research in Indonesia, especially in terms of research year, research methodology, regional distribution, level of education, types of cultural products, and types of media used. This study uses a systematic literature review with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) rule with data sources from ERIC and Scopus. Data was collected without the criteria of the year, with the aim of finding out when ethnomathematics began to be developed in Indonesia. Next, this study differs from previous ethnomathematics systematic literature review studies, focusing on different research scopes, data sources, and objectives. The results show that ethnomathematics emerged in Indonesia in 2016. Utilising an ethnomathematics approach can improve students' mathematical literacy in Indonesia by using more comprehensive research methods (quantitative, mix-method, R&D) and focusing on examining the cultural richness of the Javanese tribes in Central Java, East Java, and DIY, which are still underresearched and through traditional cultural products. In addition, it is hoped that ethnomathematics research can be expanded to other levels of education other than junior high school and utilise digital learning media.

Abstract

The concept of slope constitutes a fundamental component of the discourse surrounding linear equations. A subset of students frequently interprets slope merely as an algebraic ratio. This particular context fosters a superficial understanding of slope, as these students typically resort to mechanical memorization of the slope formula. The intent of this research endeavor is to enhance a holistic understanding of the slope concept: physically, geometrically, algebraically; through the deployment of realistic teaching activities. Two students are participants in this research endeavor. The research group initiated a series of questions aimed at assessing their comprehension by delivering a total of six activities, which were systematically designed using the emergent modeling framework central to the educational design principles of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). These activities are structured to facilitate the students' understanding of the fundamental concept of slope, transitioning from physical properties, through geometric ratios, to algebraic ratios. Subsequent to the investigations and the interviews conducted, the researchers deduce that the utilization of realistic activities significantly enhances students' comprehension of the foundational concept of slope: physical, geometric, algebraic.

Abstract

Purpose -Indonesian children abroad, including those in Malaysia, are entitled to quality education through Sekolah Indonesia Luar Negeri (SILN). However, the existence of schools alone is insufficient. This study explores students' difficulties in learning statistics, focusing on mathematical communication within a multilingual learning environment. Methodology - Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved two mathematics teachers and 32 students selected via purposive sampling from an Indonesian school in Malaysia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews (Zoom) and mathematical communication tests (WhatsApp)—analysis employed cross-comparison techniques, aligning teacher responses with student test results based on predefined communication indicators. Findings - Three main difficulties emerged: (1) student errors in multi-digit statistical computation and representation, (2) instructional challenges due to teachers' limited background in mathematics education, and (3) language barriers stemming from the use of Malay in daily life and Indonesian in instruction, impacting comprehension and expression in mathematical contexts. Novelty - This study uniquely connects statistical learning challenges with cross-linguistic dynamics and mathematical communication in an overseas Indonesian school context. Significance - Findings provide insights for educators, curriculum developers, and policymakers to enhance statistical instruction and communication skills in multilingual settings, contributing to improved educational quality for Indonesian students abroad.

Abstract

Geometry has abstract notions to be learnt so that all those notions cannot be just transferred into students' mind like a bunch of information that should be memorized. Students need to construct those concepts during their learning process. This process of knowledge construction can be considered as an abstraction process. This study aimed to qualitatively compare abstraction process of students who learned the topic of triangle in conventional method and in van Hiele model of teaching aided by Geometers' sketchpad. Subjects of this study were junior high school students in grade 7. This is a qualitative study with grounded theory design. Data were collected through classroom observation, test, and task-based interview. Results of the study show that theoretical abstraction processes tend to dominate classrom with conventional method of teaching while classroom with van Hiele model of teaching aided by Geometers' sketchpad accommodated empirical abstraction process of the students.
