Abstract

Students lack metacognitive ability despite its vital role in mathematical problem-solving. The problem-based Learning (PBL) model is one of the learning models to improve metacognitive ability in problem-solving. This study aimed to analyze the students'metacognitive ability in mathematical problem solving through PBL and examine its improvement. This present study applied the explanatory sequential mixed-method design. The population was the Year 11 students from one of the senior high schools in South Aceh Regency, Indonesia. Data collection was conducted using three instruments: pre-test, post-test, and interview guidelines. The pre-test and post-test data were analyzed using the t-test, while students' metacognitive ability was analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that students' metacognitive ability in mathematical problem solving through the PBL model was increased. Furthermore, students' metacognitive abilitywas at the semi-reflective use, the strategic use, the aware use levels for high-ability, medium-ability, and low-ability groups.

Abstract

The low learning outcomes of students on geometry may be due to the unavailability of GeoGebra software assisted learning modules. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of a GeoGebra software assisted learning module on the theory of flat-faced 3D shapes. This study consists of three phases, which are preliminary research, prototyping phase, and assessment phase. The test subjects are the students of a junior high school in Aceh Selatan. The research instruments cover student activity sheets, formative test sheets, student response questionnaires, and observer response questionnaires.  The results show that the learning module satisfies the effectiveness criteria. These results are supported by very good student activities, improvement in students’ score of formative test, and positive responses of the students and teachers on the learning module.

Abstract

One of thinking concepts which connects real life to mathematics is called metaphorical thinking. Metaphor and modelling are two closely related concepts. Besides, each individual performs different cognitive styles, such as field independent (FI) and field dependent (FD) cognitive styles. This factor possibly leads to different metaphorical thinking in solving algebraic problems. The participants of this qualitative research consist of two students at grade 7 of one of junior high school in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, with FI and FD as their cognitive styles. Based on the findings, it is found that: 1) Metaphorical thinking of the student with FI cognitive style in solving the algebraic problem in the stage of understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back is considered to achieve the target for each criteria of CREATE; 2) Metaphorical thinking of the student with FD cognitive style in solving the problem in the all four stages but could not reveal all criteria mentioned in CREATE. This happens as the student is unable to find the appropriate metaphor to the algebraic problem. Therefore, the student does not need to explain the suitability of the metaphor to the algebraic problem.
