Abstract

This study aims to examine the development and trends of research on mathematical communication indexed in the Scopus database through a bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. Data were collected using the keyword “mathematical communication” for the period 2015–2025, resulting in 431 relevant documents and 53 terms grouped into three main clusters. The metadata were exported in RIS format and analysed to map author collaboration, keyword networks, citation patterns, and research development trends. The findings show that most publications are journal articles, with Indonesia contributing the largest share, particularly through the Infinity Journal. The publication trend reveals a fluctuating pattern with significant growth since 2023, indicating rising global interest in mathematical communication research. The analysis identifies emerging clusters on mathematical representation, RME-based instruction, and multimodal communication. Importantly, the findings highlight how mathematical communication research underpins 21st-century pedagogical innovation by linking communication, reasoning, and technology-enhanced learning. Furthermore, the study identifies research gaps in digital communication models and cross-national collaboration, highlighting the need for stronger international partnerships and theoretical integration to advance the field. By mapping this evolving domain, the study provides insights that can inform educators and policymakers in enhancing communication-centred mathematics curricula and promoting globally connected research initiatives.

Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of students’ mathematical literacy on the topic of the Pythagorean Theorem through a Rasch model analysis. The study focuses on identifying the level of difficulty of mathematical literacy indicators and mapping students’ abilities across these indicators. A quantitative descriptive approach with diagnostic analysis was employed. The participants consisted of twenty-two ninth-grade students from a junior secondary school in Jambi City selected through incidental sampling. The research instrument was a single open-ended problem developed based on seven mathematical literacy indicators referring to fundamental mathematical capabilities. The data were analysed using the Rasch model by examining key outputs, including person summary, item difficulty, reliability, and the Wright map. The results indicate that students’ abilities are generally below the level of item difficulty and that the mapping of abilities has not yet shown sufficient stability. The variation in item difficulty shows that representation, the use of mathematical tools, and symbolic language are relatively easier, while communication, problem-solving strategies, and reasoning tend to be more difficult. These findings indicate a difference between students’ abilities and the demands of the indicators, particularly in modelling, explanation, and reasoning.

Abstract

This study addresses the limited empirical profiling of emotional labor among early childhood teachers in Indonesia by applying the Rasch Rating Scale Model. The research aims to examine teachers’ tendencies in emotional regulation, identify item difficulty levels, and map teacher ability distributions. A total of 312 early childhood teachers participated by completing an emotional labour scale representing four emotional-regulation dimensions. The reported logit range of −0.85 to 0.75 refers specifically to the distribution of item difficulty, which differs from the later reported teacher logit range (−3.5 to +3.2). The analysis revealed high measurement reliability (item reliability = 0.98; person reliability = 0.70) and satisfactory model fit indices. Teachers predominantly demonstrated reflective and authentic emotional regulation, as operationalised by lower difficulty on deep-acting and natural-expression items, indicating these strategies were more readily performed. These findings highlight that emotional labour among Indonesian early childhood teachers is grounded in empathy, warmth, and affective balance, forming an essential foundation for emotionally responsive and humanistic teaching practices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze junior high school students’ critical thinking skills in solving problems related to Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables (SPLDV). The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach and was conducted at SMP Negeri 9 Kota Jambi involving 32 ninth-grade students. Data were collected through contextual essay-type SPLDV tests designed based on six critical thinking indicators proposed by Facione, namely interpretation, analysis, evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation. In-depth interviews were also conducted to support and clarify the test results. Data analysis followed an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that students’ critical thinking skills have not developed evenly across all indicators. Interpretation skills were relatively better developed, while evaluation, inference, explanation, and self-regulation remained at low levels. Most students were able to identify relevant information and construct mathematical models; however, they experienced difficulties in evaluating solution procedures and drawing logical conclusions. These results highlight the need for mathematics learning strategies that emphasize analytical reasoning, evaluation, and reflective thinking to enhance students’ critical thinking skills, particularly in learning SPLDV.

Abstract

Several previous studies have widely discussed students’ mathematical literacy; however, research that specifically analyzes junior high school students’ mathematical literacy in the topic of Linear Equations in One Variable through contextual problems remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to describe the mathematical literacy abilities of junior high school students in solving contextual problems related to the System of Linear Equations in One Variable. This study employed a qualitative research method involving 33 eighth-grade students of class VIII-I at SMP Negeri 6 Kota Jambi with diverse ability levels. The research instruments consisted of contextual essay tests, interviews, and documentation of students’ written responses. The test items were validated by experts and designed to reflect real-life situations. The results indicate that students’ mathematical literacy skills are generally low, with the majority of students classified in the low category. Students experienced difficulties in understanding information presented in the problems, formulating mathematical models, and interpreting as well as concluding the solutions. Analysis based on mathematical literacy indicators shows that only a small proportion of students were able to fulfill all three indicators comprehensively. These findings suggest that students have not yet met the demands of solving contextual problems mathematically. The results of this study may serve as a basis for developing more contextual and applicative mathematics literacy–based learning to improve the quality of mathematics education at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This community service program aimed to enhance teachers’ understanding of the conceptual framework of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and improve their skills in developing locally contextualized assessment items. This program was implemented using a community-based action research approach, involving systematic stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection carried out collaboratively with participating teachers. The activity responded to teachers’ limited ability to design questions requiring critical thinking and problem-solving, as well as their lack of experience in applying contextual tasks in classrooms. The program involved conceptual framework dissemination, training and mentoring on item development, classroom implementation, and evaluation through pre-tests, post-tests, response sheets, and classroom observations. Twenty-one participants, including teachers from Al-Arief Islamic schools and students from Jambi University, actively engaged in all stages. Results showed an increase in average scores from 2.62 to 4.04, with an N-Gain of 0.60 (moderate). Teachers’ knowledge, experience with assessment tasks, and problem-solving strategies all improved significantly. The novelty lies in integrating local contexts into item design, which strengthened teachers’ conceptual understanding and readiness for classroom implementation. The training proved effective in building teachers’ capacity and supporting more relevant and contextual teaching practices.
